AI is changing how websites are designed, developed, managed, and maintained. For WordPress developers, this shift presents an opportunity to rethink how we work, build better workflows, and create new possibilities for our clients and businesses.

In this session, we will explore how developers can use AI as a practical collaborator across the WordPress development workflow, from planning and coding to content, SEO, debugging, documentation, and client support.

We will also look beyond today’s AI tools at how WordPress itself is evolving to support AI. This includes emerging initiatives such as the PHP AI Client SDK, Abilities API, MCP Adapter, and AI Experiments Plugin, and what these building blocks could mean for developers building AI-powered WordPress solutions.

The session will focus on practical applications rather than AI hype. Attendees will learn how to identify repetitive tasks that AI can assist with, build more efficient workflows, maintain quality and human oversight, and turn the time saved into greater capacity for serving clients and growing their businesses.
