AI is changing how WordPress sites are built, but most usage stops at simple prompts and one-off tasks.
In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to use AI as part of a structured development workflow to build better WordPress experiences, from planning and implementation to testing and iteration.
We’ll start with the fundamentals, including how to write effective prompts, provide meaningful context, and use documentation to guide AI outputs. From there, we’ll walk through a practical workflow you can apply immediately:
- Plan: Break down WordPress features, plugins, and customisation into clear, actionable steps
- Execute: Use AI to generate, refactor, and extend WordPress code (PHP, JavaScript, blocks, and plugins)
- Verify: Validate results through testing, code review, and iterative refinement
We’ll also explore how feedback loops improve AI output over time, and how to connect AI tools to real systems using MCP (Model Context Protocol). You’ll see practical examples like automating PR reviews, generating summaries, and integrating AI into your development workflow with tools like Cursor, Claude, GitHub, and CI pipelines.
This session is designed for anyone who wants a practical, real-world approach to using AI in WordPress development, without the hype.
