Our comprehensive WordPress 7 AI Guide explains how artificial intelligence is brought directly into the core WordPress software for the very first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how WordPress 7 introduces built-in AI features with our complete guide. Next, explore how to use Core AI Connectors for WooCommerce products<\/a> to unlock AI-powered ecommerce<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Core WordPress 7 AI Guide System?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In older versions of WordPress, using AI required installing many different third-party plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress 7 changes this by building one shared AI system right into your website dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new system connects four simple building blocks: the AI Client, Connectors, Abilities, and MCP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting Up Providers in this WordPress 7 AI Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can manage all your AI service connections easily under Settings > Connectors in your dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WordPress 7 supports popular AI services right out of the box, including Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You only need to enter your API keys once in this single central place for your whole website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"wordpress-ai-connectors-screens\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This screen routes all your website prompts safely to your favorite AI models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet or GPT-4o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to turn off all built-in AI features completely, add one simple line to your wp-config.php<\/code> file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

define( 'WP_AI_SUPPORT', false );<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This code completely disables native WordPress AI tools and hides the Connectors screen.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using the WordPress AI Client SDK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The WP AI Client gives developers one clean way to send prompts to any AI model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of writing separate code for every AI provider, you write one simple prompt command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
use WordPress\\AI\\AI_Client;\n\n$response = AI_Client::prompt( 'Summarize this blog post in two easy sentences.', [\n    'model' => 'anthropic\/claude-3-5-sonnet',\n] );<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This code sends a short request to Anthropic Claude using the built-in WordPress AI client.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also set backup AI choices so your site automatically tries another provider if one is busy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$builder = new WP_AI_Client_Prompt_Builder();\n$builder->using_model_preference( [ 'anthropic\/claude-3-5-sonnet', 'openai\/gpt-4o' ] )\n        ->set_prompt( 'Write a short headline for this page.' );<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This code sets Claude as your first AI choice and GPT-4o as a backup.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharing Actions with the Abilities API in WordPress 7 AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Abilities API lists all the tasks your WordPress website is allowed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It helps AI tools understand how to create post drafts, edit pages, or view user lists safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Front-end JavaScript components can easily check available site abilities using @wordpress\/core-abilities<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
import { useSelect } from '@wordpress\/data';\n\nconst abilities = useSelect( ( select ) => {\n    return select( 'core\/abilities' ).getAbilities();\n}, [] );<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This React hook gets a list of all active site abilities inside the block editor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connecting Desktop Apps with the MCP Adapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Adapter connects your website to outside desktop AI apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popular tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor can link directly to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows your favorite desktop assistant to draft posts or fix issues directly on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using AI Skills and Smart Helpers in WordPress 7 AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
WordPress AI Skills combine site abilities and instructions to finish tasks step-by-step automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smart helpers can write alt text for images, check spelling, or suggest design layouts while you write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of running manually, these helpers work alongside you right inside the editor comments and revisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
