Assistant (AI)
This plugin adds an AI Assistant to your WordPress site. It can execute the abilities provided by WP itself or other plugins and themes.
The “abilities” are something new added to WP 6.9, and almost surely, they’ll be embraced by many plugins, creating a full set of functionalities that can be controlled using an AI assistant.
This plugin shows all the abilities available, grouped by categories, and lets you interact with them.
First installation
You need to download the ZIP package and install it from Plugins/Add New/Upload.
After the first installation, the plugin should update automatically.
You can always update it by hand, downloading and reinstalling the ZIP.
Configuration
Being an AI-based assistant, you need to get and set an API key to use an AI provider, for example, Gemini, Claude, Mistral, or OpenAI.
Search, for example, on Google, how to get an OpenAI API key and get one (they provide a decent volume of use free of charge). This is a video I found, and it’s clear enough.
I’ve tested the four cited providers.
Experimental
This is an experimental plugin, and it can lead to weird behaviours. Not always is the underlying AI able to understand you or to execute exactly the task you asked for.
And the “abilities” could be missing some important features or defined in a way the AI won’t be able to use them at all or in the correct way.
It’s something growing.
