WordPress’ new AI assistant will let users edit their sites with prompts
The new opt-in tool uses Google's Nano Banana model to edit text, translate content, and generate images directly in the editor.
Deep Dive
WordPress has launched a new opt-in AI assistant integrated into its site editor and media library. Users can enable it in settings and interact via a sidebar or by tagging '@ai' in block notes. The assistant can edit/translate text, generate/edit images using Google's Nano Banana model, and reorganize site layouts. This allows users to modify their entire WordPress site through natural language prompts without switching tools.
Why It Matters
This brings advanced, multimodal AI editing directly into the world's most popular CMS, potentially changing how 43% of all websites are managed.
