WordPress.com is taking a major step into the future by introducing AI agents that can help create and manage websites.
With this new update, users can now rely on AI to write, edit, and publish content, as well as handle tasks like managing comments, fixing metadata, and organizing posts with tags and categories.
The system works through a simple interface where users can give instructions in plain language. Instead of manually building a website, users can just describe what they want, and the AI will take care of the rest. This makes it much easier for beginners to set up and maintain a site without needing technical skills.
With these changes, websites could soon be created and run almost entirely by AI, with humans only guiding the process. While this makes website creation faster and more accessible, it also raises questions about how much content on the internet will be written by machines instead of people.
WordPress is already one of the biggest platforms on the internet, powering more than 43 percent of all websites. Even though WordPress.com is only a part of that, it still handles billions of page views and hundreds of millions of visitors every month, making this update significant.
This new feature builds on earlier support for Model Context Protocol, which allows AI tools to connect with websites and understand their content, settings, and data. Now, instead of just viewing information, AI agents can actively create posts, build pages, and even make structural changes to a website.
At launch, these AI agents will also be able to manage comments by approving or replying to them, clean up spam, and improve SEO by updating titles, captions, and alt text. All actions taken by AI are tracked in an activity log so users can see what changes have been made.
Users remain in control. Content created by AI is saved as a draft by default, and nothing gets published without approval. However, users can also allow the AI to generate full posts or pages simply by describing what they want.
The AI can even analyze the website’s design before creating content, ensuring that new pages match the same style, colors, and layout. This helps maintain a consistent look across the site.
