AI

Описание

The AI plugin brings AI-powered features directly into your WordPress admin and editing experience.

Requires the WordPress Block Editor. The Classic Editor plugin and other non-Block Editor editing experiences are not supported.

What’s Inside:

This plugin is built on the AI Building Blocks for WordPress initiative, combining the AI Client library and Abilities API into a unified experience. It serves as both a practical tool for content creators and a reference implementation for developers.

Current Features:

  • Abilities Explorer – Browse and interact with registered AI abilities from a dedicated admin screen.
  • AI Request Logging – Logs AI requests for observability and debugging.
  • Alt Text Generation — Generate descriptive alt text for images to improve accessibility.
  • Comment Moderation — Automatically moderate comments based on toxicity detection and sentiment analysis.
  • Connector Approvals — Require explicit administrator approval before plugins or themes can use AI connectors configured on this site.
  • Content Classification – Suggests relevant tags and categories to organize content.
  • Content Resizing — Shorten, expand, or rephrase selected block content.
  • Content Summarization — Summarizes long-form content into digestible overviews.
  • Content Translation — Translates paragraph and heading blocks, and optionally the post title, into a selected language from the post editor.
  • Custom Abilities — Gates the plugin’s general-purpose WordPress Abilities behind a single opt-in toggle.
  • Dashboard Widgets — AI Status and AI Capabilities widgets, plus framework for registering new ones.
  • Editorial Notes — Reviews post content block-by-block and adds Notes with suggestions for Accessibility, Readability, Grammar, and SEO.
  • Editorial Updates — Automatically apply editorial notes to content.
  • Excerpt Generation — Automatically create concise summaries for your posts.
  • Experiment Framework — Opt-in system that lets you enable only the AI features you want to use.
  • Guidelines — Allows abilities to respect site-wide editorial standards.
  • Image Generation and Editing — Create and edit images from post content in the editor, also via the Media Library.
  • Key Encryption — Encrypts AI provider API keys at rest using bundled libsodium encryption. Keys are transparently decrypted on read and re-encrypted on write. Disabling the experiment or deactivating the plugin restores plaintext keys.
  • Meta Description Generation — Generates meta description suggestions and integrates those with various SEO plugins.
  • Multi-Provider Support — Works with AI Connector plugins for providers such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.
  • Slug Generation — Suggest SEO-friendly permalink slugs for your posts from the permalink popover or the pre-publish panel, then edit and apply the one you want.
  • Suggest Reply — Adds a «Suggest Reply» action to the Comments screen and Activity widget, enabling moderators to quickly generate comment reply suggestions.
  • Title Generation — Generate title suggestions for your posts with a single click. Perfect for brainstorming headlines or finding the right tone for your content.
  • Type Ahead – Contextual type-ahead assistance for suggestions while typing.

Provider Setup:

The AI plugin does not include provider credentials or provider implementations by itself. To use AI-powered features, install and activate at least one AI Connector plugin, then configure its credentials in Settings -> Connectors. Features may appear unavailable until a connector is installed, authenticated, and capable of the required operation.

Provider connector plugins include Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and others.

Coming Soon:

We’re actively developing new features to enhance your WordPress workflow:

  • AI Playground – Experiment with different AI models and providers.
  • Content Assistant – AI-powered writing and editing in Gutenberg.
  • Site Agent – Natural language WordPress administration.
  • Workflow Automation – AI-driven task automation.

This is an experimental plugin; functionality may change as we gather feedback from the community.

Roadmap:

You can view the active plugin roadmap in a filtered view in the WordPress AI GitHub Project Board.

For Developers

The AI plugin is designed to be studied, extended, and built upon. Whether you’re a plugin developer, agency, or hosting provider, here’s what you can do:

Extend the Plugin:

  • Build Custom Experiments — Use the Abstract_Feature base class to create your own AI-powered features.
  • Pre-configure Providers — Hosts and agencies can set up AI Connector plugins so users don’t need their own API keys.
  • Abilities Explorer — Test and explore registered AI abilities (available when experiments are enabled).
  • Register Custom Abilities — Hook into the Abilities API to add new AI capabilities.
  • Override Default Behavior — Use filters to customize prompts, responses, and UI elements.
  • Comprehensive Hooks — Filters and actions throughout the codebase for customization.

Developer Tools Coming Soon:

  • AI Playground — Experiment with different AI models and prompts.
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) – Integrate and test Model Context Protocol capabilities in WordPress workflows.
  • Extended Providers – Support for experimenting with additional or alternate AI providers.

Get Started:

  1. Read the Contributing Guide for development setup
  2. Join the conversation in #core-ai on WordPress Slack
  3. Browse the GitHub repository to see how experiments are built
  4. Participate in discussions on how best the plugin should iterate.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

What is this plugin for?

This plugin brings AI-powered writing and editing tools directly into WordPress. It’s also a reference implementation for developers who want to build their own AI features.

Is this safe to use on a production site?

This is an experimental plugin, so we recommend testing in a staging environment first. Features may change as we gather community feedback. All AI features are opt-in and require manual triggering — nothing happens automatically without your approval.

Which AI providers are supported?

The plugin can work with provider connector plugins from Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), OpenAI, and others. Install and activate the relevant connector plugin, then configure it in Settings -> Connectors.

Do I need an API key to use the features?

Yes, currently you need to provide your own API key for the configured AI Connector plugin, such as OpenAI, Google AI, or Anthropic.

How much does it cost?

The plugin itself is free, but you’ll need to pay for API usage from your chosen AI provider. Costs vary by provider and usage. Most providers offer free trial credits to get started. There are some local, open source, and free providers (like Ollama) that can be used as well.

Can I use this without coding knowledge?

Absolutely! The plugin is designed for content creators and site administrators. Once your AI Connectors are configured, you can use the AI functionality directly from the post editor.

Does this plugin support the Classic Editor?

No.

The AI plugin currently supports only the Block Editor (aka Gutenberg). The plugin is designed around modern editor APIs, block-based content workflows, and the evolving editing capabilities being developed within WordPress core (including Gutenberg).

The Block Editor has been the default WordPress editing experience since WordPress 5.0 in 2018 and remains the primary focus of active editor development. Concentrating development efforts on the Block Editor enables the project to ship new features, experiments, and integrations more quickly while avoiding the complexity of maintaining parallel implementations across multiple editing experiences.

Although the Classic Editor plugin continues to have a large installed base, the Core AI team has chosen to prioritize innovation and experimentation within the Block Editor ecosystem. At this time there are no plans to add official Classic Editor support.

Where can I get help or report issues?

You can ask questions in the #core-ai channel on WordPress Slack or report issues on the GitHub repository.

It is quite useful and performs well, but why did you change the language from “Basic summary” to TL;DR as the title for content summarization? Not everyone who visits our site is a teenager on social media, 25 hours per day.

I love the idea in theory, and connecting my OpenAI account was easy enough. I was hoping to be able to use the plugin to help with content writing, rather than copying and pasting from ChatGPT. As I use Elementor Page Builder I have the Classic Editor plugin installed — unfortunately this plugin doesn't work with the Classic Editor, so I can't see any of the AI features when writing Posts. Hopefully there will be improvements in the future 🙂
