The Block Editor Gets A Brain

Most AI tools bolted onto websites today either just chat with you or clumsily click around a page, hoping nothing has changed. There's a better way: let the website itself tell an AI assistant exactly what it can do, so the assistant can act with precision instead of guessing.

In this session, I'll show a plugin I built that brings an AI assistant directly into the WordPress editing experience — not as a chat window bolted to the side, but as something that can draft content, make real edits, and take real action, live, because the editor has told it exactly what's possible.

You'll see it work in real time: asking it to write, revise, and reorganize content, and watching it do the work correctly the first time. Along the way, I'll share what it actually took to make AI feel like a natural part of the writing experience instead of an awkward add-on, and where this kind of thinking could take WordPress next.

Whether you build with WordPress, manage a site, or you're just curious what "AI-ready" actually looks like in practice, you'll leave with a clear, concrete example — and a sense of what becomes possible when your software can describe itself.
