WordPress.com AI Website Builder Creates Sites in Minutes

Summary

WordPress.com is promoting an AI website builder that creates a complete WordPress site from a plain-language conversation. Users describe the site’s purpose, style, and preferences; the AI asks follow-up questions and generates layouts, images, and copy, with most sites described as ready in under five minutes. Users can then change colors, fonts, layouts, and content either by continuing to prompt the AI or by editing in the WordPress block editor. The builder is intended for blogs, portfolios, photography sites, business homepages, landing pages, nonprofit sites, coaching pages, and similar projects. Online stores require WooCommerce, which is available on paid plans, while plugins can be added on paid plans starting with Personal. The page says custom domains also require a paid plan and emphasizes that sites remain on the open-source WordPress platform, with access to more than 50,000 plugins and thousands of themes. After launch, the WordPress Agent remains available in the editor to help update content, add sections, or restyle pages, alongside WordPress.com hosting, security, and support.
