WordPress AI Assistant is now built into WordPress.com

WordPress has added an AI Assistant to WordPress.com, integrated into the editor and Media Library and available at no extra cost for Business and Commerce plan sites.

WordPress has added an AI Assistant that runs inside WordPress.com. The assistant appears in the site editor and the Media Library so it can act on content and layout without copying and pasting or separate tools. Sites on Business or Commerce plans can opt in at no extra cost, and sites purchased through the AI website builder have the assistant enabled automatically. The assistant works best with block themes and has limited availability for classic themes. Key details: - The assistant integrates into the editor and Media Library and can take actions where users are already building. - Business and Commerce plan sites can opt in at no extra cost; sites purchased via the AI website builder receive the assistant enabled by default. - It can adjust layouts, styles, and block patterns and assist with content editing and refinement within the editor. - Image generation and editing are available in the Media Library, using the Nano Banana models and offering controls such as aspect ratios and image styles. - The assistant is designed for block themes; classic themes do not show the assistant in the editor but can still use Media Library image features. Summary: The assistant brings AI-powered editing and image tools directly into WordPress.com's workflow, allowing layout changes, content edits, and image generation without leaving the site. It is available to Business and Commerce plan sites via opt-in and is enabled automatically for sites purchased through the AI website builder. Use with classic themes is limited and the assistant works best with block themes.
