October 19, 2026 — Discover how to make your WordPress plugins more organized, interoperable, and ready for artificial intelligence with the new WordPress Abilities API.

In this technical session, we will take an in-depth look at how the WP_Ability class works and how to register capabilities securely, validate schemas, apply permission policies, and expose functionality through PHP, JavaScript, or external tools.

The goal is to move away from scattered architectures based on isolated functions, AJAX calls, or standalone REST endpoints, and instead build cleaner, reusable solutions that are ready for the new generation of AI-powered applications and assistants.

By the end of the talk, you will have a practical understanding of how this new API can simplify the development of your projects and prepare them for the future of the WordPress ecosystem.

October 19, 2026 — Connecting WordPress to cloud-based AI APIs involves recurring costs, latency, and data privacy concerns. But what if a fully autonomous AI agent could manage your website while operating entirely from your users’ browsers?

Using our open-source plugin, wp-agentic-admin, as a case study, this highly technical talk explores how to build client-side, AI-powered website administration. We will take a detailed look at how to combine the capabilities of modern browsers with intelligent execution patterns:

The infrastructure: How to leverage WebGPU and WebLLM to run open-source models such as Qwen entirely locally, using Service Workers to maintain the agent’s state across WordPress admin screen updates.

In-browser RAG: How we implemented a fully client-side Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) workflow, using in-browser vector storage to inject local WordPress records and documentation directly into the model’s context window.

The brain: How to implement a client-side ReAct (Reasoning + Action) loop, enabling the model to autonomously choose tools, read error logs, check site status, and apply fixes through the WordPress Abilities API.

By the end, you will have a clear action plan for how client-side processing can eliminate API bills and privacy risks while bringing truly professional-grade workflows directly into the WordPress ecosystem.

October 19, 2026 — I have spent four years running WordPress at scale on Altis Cloud. I expected the lessons to be about infrastructure. Looking back, they were just good engineering habits.

Assumptions are dangerous, better to seek the data to prove them, even the obvious ones. Unglamorous work pays off when things break. Willingness to understand beyond what you strictly need to know puts you in a better position to make informed decisions.

The talk walks through actual experience and incidents and how each one taught me one of these. Useful for anyone who works on WordPress sites of any size.
