AI Experiments

Description

The WordPress AI Experiments plugin brings experimental AI-powered features directly into your WordPress admin and editing experience.

What’s Inside:

This plugin is built on the AI Building Blocks for WordPress initiative, combining the WP AI Client SDK, Abilities API, and MCP Adapter into a unified experience. It serves as both a practical tool for content creators and a reference implementation for developers.

Current Features:

• Title Generation – Generate title suggestions for your posts with a single click. Perfect for brainstorming headlines or finding the right tone for your content.
• Experiment Framework – Opt-in system that lets you enable only the AI features you want to use.
• Multi-Provider Support – Works with popular AI providers like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic.

Coming Soon:

We’re actively developing new features to enhance your WordPress workflow:

• Excerpt Generation – Automatically create concise summaries for your posts
• Image Generation – Create images from text prompts directly in the block editor
• Alt Text Generation – Generate descriptive alt text for images to improve accessibility
• Content Summarization – Quickly summarize long-form content
• Contextual Tagging – AI-suggested tags and categories to organize your content
• AI Playground – Experiment with different AI models and prompts

This is an experimental plugin; functionality may change as we gather feedback from the community.

For Developers

The AI Experiments plugin is designed to be studied, extended, and built upon. Whether you’re a plugin developer, agency, or hosting provider, here’s what you can do:

Extend the Plugin:

• Build Custom Experiments – Use the Abstract_Experiment base class to create your own AI-powered features
• Register Custom Abilities – Hook into the Abilities API to add new AI capabilities
• Override Default Behavior – Use filters to customize prompts, responses, and UI elements
• Pre-configure Providers – Hosts and agencies can set up AI providers so users don’t need their own API keys

Developer Tools Coming Soon:

• Abilities Explorer – Test and explore registered AI abilities (available when experiments are enabled)
• MCP Demo – See how Model Context Protocol integration works with WordPress
• Comprehensive Hooks – Filters and actions throughout the codebase for customization
