WordPress’s new AI assistant will let users edit their sites with prompts
Summary
WordPress has introduced a new AI assistant that lets users edit their websites by typing natural language requests (instructions written in plain English rather than code) instead of manually making changes. The AI can edit and translate text, generate and modify images, and adjust site elements like creating pages or changing fonts, accessible through the site editor sidebar and block notes feature (a commenting tool added in WordPress 6.9).
