"However, building a custom block hasn't always been easy. Even seasoned WordPress developers can struggle to learn the process. Blocks are based on React, rather than PHP. As such, there's a serious learning curve. That has left many to look at alternative methods or use third-party block suites. There's a new tool looking to change the narrative. Telex is Automattic's AI-powered block builder. Tell the app what you want, and Telex goes to work."
"First things first, you'll need a free WordPress.com account to use Telex and save your projects. Click the Login button on the upper right of the screen to get started. Once that's taken care of, it's time to tell Telex about your project. The interface should be familiar to anyone who has used ChatGPT, Gemini, or other popular AI models. Enter your idea into the text field, and the tool takes care of the rest."
WordPress offers strong flexibility through custom blocks, enabling many use cases. Building custom blocks has been difficult because blocks use React instead of PHP, creating a steep learning curve even for experienced developers. That complexity pushed many to use alternative methods or third-party block suites. Telex is an AI-powered block builder from Automattic that generates block code from user prompts and packages the result as a plugin for installation. Telex requires a free WordPress.com account to save projects and provides an interface similar to popular AI chat models. The tool supports testing in a live WordPress Playground and facilitates rapid experimentation with custom block ideas.
