What an AI builder leaves you to fix on a WordPress site
A law firm got a WordPress site out of an AI builder in ten minutes, then came back two weeks later with a broken contact form and no search traffic. How I treat AI output as scaffolding instead of a finished build.
Building AI features in WordPress without hardcoding a provider
I wired a client’s store straight into one AI provider and regretted it two weeks later. The Abilities API and the WP AI Client give you a way to register tools and send prompts in WordPress without hardcoding a model.
AI is turning into a WordPress fundamental layer
A client’s WooCommerce store was slow because five plugins were each calling their own LLM API on every save. That is the problem the Ai_Client in WordPress 7.0 and the new Abilities layer are meant to solve.

Integrating AI into WordPress without vendor lock-in
An off-the-shelf AI plugin left a client with a slow backend and alt text that had nothing to do with the images. The core AI discussions point somewhere better: content summaries, post titles and image descriptions behind one PHP AI Client.
