"With the new tool, you can adjust the site's layout, its style, or other patterns by issuing commands to the AI assistant, and then see the changes reflected on the site as you work. These instructions don't have to be precisely tailored prompts, either, the company notes. Instead, you can use more general language, like "make this section feel more modern or spacious," "change my site's colors to be brighter and bolder," or "give me more font options that feel clean and professional.""
"The AI can also function like an editor, offering headline suggestions, fact checks, and other grammar and editing suggestions. This aspect is available through the block notes editor that arrived in WordPress 6.9, where you're able to collaborate with teammates in the editor. Now, you can pull the AI into that workflow by typing @ai followed by your requests. The AI will provide its answers here, including relevant links and other information where it cites external sources."
"You can also direct the AI to add or adjust your layout, instructing it to do things like "add a contact page," or "add a testimonials section below this section." However, the company notes that its adjustments work with block themes, not classic ones. If you're using the latter, the assistant won't appear in the editor. The WordPress AI assistant can update the site's content, as well, like asking it to rewrite your bio to sound more confident, or translating a section into another language."
WordPress.com now includes an integrated AI assistant that understands site content and layout and accepts natural language commands to modify sites. The assistant can adjust layout, style, colors, and fonts using general instructions, add or modify pages and sections, and update or rewrite content and translations. It can act as an editor offering headline suggestions, fact checks, and grammar edits via the block notes editor and @ai workflow in WordPress 6.9. Visual creation and editing use Google Gemini's Nano Banana models. The assistant's layout adjustments apply only to block themes, not classic themes.
