AI Experiments Plugin

Part of the AI Building Blocks for WordPress initiative

Overview

• Purpose: Demonstrate and deliver AI features by combining all AI Building Blocks (PHP AI Client SDK, Abilities API, and MCP Adapter) into a unified WordPress experience.
• Scope: Reference implementations, user-facing AI features, and experimental capabilities for testing and feedback.
• Audience: WordPress users, content creators, site administrators, and developers learning the AI APIs.

This Canonical Plugin is built following the Features as Plugins model. The community will help evaluate which features could evolve toward inclusion in WordPress core based on testing, feedback, and adoption.

Design Goals

1. Showcase integration – Demonstrate how all Building Blocks work together (e.g., connects to providers via PHP AI Client integration).
2. User-focused – Deliver practical AI features users can use today, integrated seamlessly into Gutenberg (block & site editors) and WordPress admin flows. Minimal setup required prioritizes user control, with manual review defaults before automation.
3. Experimentation lab – Test new AI capabilities and gather feedback.
4. Path to core – Explore which features should become part of WordPress.

Planned Features

• AI Playground – Experiment with different AI models and providers
• Content Assistant – AI-powered writing and editing in Gutenberg
• Site Agent – Natural language WordPress administration
• Workflow Automation – AI-driven task automation
  • Title Generation / Rewriting – Suggests alternative post titles for better clarity, tone, or engagement.
  • Excerpt Generation – Creates concise summaries for post excerpts.
  • Content Summarization – Summarizes long-form content into digestible overviews.
  • Contextual Tagging – Suggests relevant tags and categories to organize content.
• Media Enhancement – Auto-captioning and intelligent organization
  • Alt Text Generation – Auto-generates descriptive alt text for images.
  • Image Generation – Produces inline or featured images from text prompts.
