I’ve been experimenting with AI-assisted development since 2021, so when the WordPress Core AI team launched in mid-2025, I was genuinely excited. Finally, the platform I’ve spent years working with was taking AI seriously—not as a gimmick, but as foundational infrastructure. I’ve been following the development closely ever since, and what’s emerging is remarkable. In this talk, I’ll take you on a practical tour of the six WordPress AI projects that are quietly laying the foundation for how we’ll build and interact with WordPress sites in the years to come. Whether you’re a site owner curious about where WordPress is heading, a content creator wondering how AI might help your workflow, or a developer eager to build the next generation of WordPress plugins, this talk has something for you. No AI experience required.
