WordPress users now have access to a new AI assistant integrated into the platform’s site editor and media library, as reported by The Verge. This AI-powered tool, located in the WordPress site editor’s sidebar, enables users to perform tasks such as editing and translating text, manipulating images using Google’s Nano Banana, and implementing site adjustments like creating new pages or modifying fonts.
Furthermore, users can engage with the AI assistant through the block notes feature introduced in WordPress’s 6.9 update last December. By utilizing ‘@ai’ tags in block notes, users can prompt the AI to edit specific text blocks or suggest headlines.
To activate the AI assistant, users must enable ‘AI tools’ manually in their site settings. For sites constructed with the AI website builder released by WordPress the previous year, AI tools will be automatically enabled.
