cPanel AI is now live in cPanel & WHM v138

Version 138 introduces Meridian, a new goal-based cPanel interface, and the first set of cPanel AI capabilities built directly into the hosting experience.

Here’s what’s new:

🔹 Meridian
A new goal-based interface that organizes hosting tasks into six hubs and surfaces required actions on the Dashboard.

🔹 Guided Setup
Set up a domain, website, and email in one streamlined flow.

🔹 AI Assistant
Ask questions about your account in plain language, get step-by-step guidance, and troubleshoot issues from inside cPanel.

🔹 Nova
Describe the website or app you want and generate a working project you can edit and manage in cPanel.

🔹 AI App Hosting
Deploy AI-built Node.js applications from a ZIP file or Git URL, with automatic framework detection.

🔹 MCP Support
Connect approved AI clients such as Claude Code and Claude Desktop to cPanel with scoped access.

🔹 Sitejet AI
Turn a business idea into a ready-to-edit website draft.

🔹 Nova for WordPress
Generate pages, content, and configuration directly within the familiar WordPress workflow.

And v138 includes more updates for server and account management:

🔹 Domain Recommendations & Purchase
Recommend domains in cPanel and route purchases through your WHMCS installation (experimental).

🔹 Domain Renaming
Rename primary, addon, and parked domains directly from the Domains interface.

🔹 WebPros Dashboard plugin
Connect servers to WebPros Dashboard for multi-server status, alerts, and tools.

🔹 Exim spam action configuration
Configure how Exim handles forwarded mail flagged by Apache SpamAssassin.
Meridian and cPanel AI capabilities are opt-in, giving hosting providers control over what’s available to their users.

• ea-php85 updated from v8.5.9 to v8.5.10.
• ea-nginx-echo, ea-nginx-headers-more, ea-nginx-njs, ea-nginx-passenger, and ea-modsec30-connector-nginx rebuilt against ea-nginx v1.31.6.

cPanel AI introduces AI Assistant, a built-in support layer that helps users troubleshoot and manage common hosting tasks directly inside the control panel.

AI Assistant understands plain language questions about SSL, email configuration, disk usage, databases, and other routine setup topics. It provides guided answers, walks users through next steps, and can take action on their behalf, always with confirmation first.

Help where users are already working. Guidance without leaving the panel.
