Have you used AI to build a WordPress plugin yet? What's your favorite AI tool?

AI Won't Build Great WordPress Plugins—Developers Will.

AI has completely changed the way I build WordPress plugins.

Not by replacing my skills—but by making my workflow faster and more efficient.

Here's where AI saves me the most time:

Generate boilerplate plugin code
Debug PHP & JavaScript errors
Explain complex WordPress hooks & filters
Create custom REST API endpoints
Generate documentation & code comments
Suggest cleaner and optimized solutions

The final architecture, security, performance, and user experience still depend on the developer.

AI is a powerful coding assistant—but your knowledge is what turns generated code into a production-ready WordPress plugin.

The developers who learn to work with AI, not against it, will build better products in less time
