Discover how WordPress is embracing AI through a centralized infrastructure designed to simplify and supercharge plugin development. The AI Services plugin introduces a universal API layer for connecting to major AI providers like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and more — all from within your WordPress environment. This session explores how this infrastructure empowers developers and site owners to integrate advanced AI capabilities like text generation, chat, and image creation without building everything from scratch.

What You’ll Learn

• How the AI Services plugin acts as a foundational layer for WordPress AI integrations

• The core features of the plugin: text generation, chat history, function calling, and image creation

• How to use its APIs (PHP, JS, REST, WP-CLI) for seamless AI integration

• Ways to extend or customize AI service providers

• Benefits of centralizing API key and model configuration for user experience and development speed

Why It Matters

AI is transforming how WordPress sites are built and managed. But integrating AI services often requires duplicating effort, managing different APIs, and dealing with scattered settings. This plugin offers a standardized, extensible solution that makes AI accessible to both developers and end-users — enabling rapid innovation, user choice, and streamlined site management.
