AI in WordPress: What's New in the Ecosystem and How to Build With It

AI is moving quickly in WordPress. The latest version of WordPress (7.0) brought a lot of AI capability straight into the platform itself, and this meetup looks at what that means and how to use it. The session comes in two parts.

First, we'll look at how AI is showing up across WordPress, in plain terms: what the latest version added, the official WordPress AI plugin, and a few other plugins that help people build sites faster. No prior AI experience needed. The goal is simply a clear picture of where things stand today.

The second part is more hands-on and a little broader. It's about getting real value out of an AI assistant in your actual work, both on projects and on the everyday tasks that fill a day. We'll cover practical approaches and habits that make a real difference, what genuinely helps, what gets in the way, and where you still need to check the work yourself.

This is a watch-and-learn session, so there's nothing to install or prepare.

Come along, watch, ask questions, and tell us what you'd like to see at a future meetup. Whether you've been building WordPress sites for years or are just getting started, you'll find something to take away.
