- WordPress.com now uses AI to make site layout changes with natural language prompts
- Nano Banana image generation and editing is integrated into the media library
- It’s available now, but you need to enable it in Settings.
Against the backdrop of other AI-powered website builders, WordPress.com has launched its own AI Assistant, which covers much more than just generating copy.
The company says its new assistant will be able to understand the content and layout of a site, so users will be able to make more complex changes using simple natural language prompts.
“No copying and pasting, no rapid engineering, and no coding to figure out what to do,” AI lead Ronnie Burt wrote in a blog post.
WordPress.com has highlighted three key areas where its AI assistant can help: creating and editing content with context, generating and editing images, and colleague-style collaboration. Some of the edits handled include adjusting page layouts, styles, colors, fonts, and structure, as well as other copy-related tasks such as text generation and translation.
On the page editor side, WordPress.com shows examples of changes the AI Assistant makes from fairly vague and non-specific commands, such as “Make this section more modern and spacious.”
In addition to generating text, AI Assistant can also generate and edit images using Google’s Nano Banana templates directly in the media library without having to use third-party platforms.
Burt also highlighted the new block notes editor launched with WordPress 6.9, which gives colleagues a space to collaborate and share comments. Unsurprisingly, the AI Assistant also plays a role here, being able to perform tasks like fact-checking or making edit suggestions.
WordPress AI Assistant is now generally available, but users must sign up via Sites > Settings > AI Tools. Sites already created using the AI website builder option will have AI Assistant enabled by default.
