1. Overview: WooCommerce AI connector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

WooCommerce AI connector utilizes the WordPress Core AI Connector, which allows sites to connect to providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google through a single configuration page under Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This article explains how we can build a WooCommerce AI Connector using Core AI Plugins. Also explains registering AI abilities to communicate with the AI provider and generate images for products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Abilities, Not Direct API Calls for WooCommerce AI Connector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The AI Connector plugin is designed to prevent plugins from calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or other AI provider SDKs directly. Instead, you register an Ability class that defines the requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

public function register_abilities() {\nrequire_once WCAI_PLUGIN_DIR . '\/includes\/Abilities\/class-wkwc-ai-product-title-\ngeneration.php';\nwp_register_ability(\n'woocommerce-ai-connector\/product-title-generation',\narray(\n'label'=> esc_html__( 'Generate Product Title', 'wc-ai-connector'\n'description'=> esc_html__( 'Generates a WooCommerce product title from\n),\nproduct data.', 'wc-ai-connector' ),\n'ability_class' => WKWC_AI_Product_Title_Generation::class,\n)\n);\n}<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Once registered, WordPress automatically exposes the ability through a standard REST API endpoint. This single registration creates the endpoint:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
POST \/wp-json\/wp-abilities\/v1\/abilities\/woocommerce-ai-connector\/product-title-generation\/run<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each feature follows the same pattern. Four abilities power four “Generate with AI”<\/strong> buttons while sharing a common REST API structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Understanding an Ability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Every ability extends the Abstract_Ability<\/code> class provided by the AI Connector plugin and implements three core methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
