AI‑Powered Plugin Builder for WordPress

Democratize WordPress development

WordPress users face a dilemma: hire a developer for custom functionality, or install bloated all-in-one plugins that add hundreds of unwanted features and slow down their sites. With over 60,000 plugins in the WordPress repository, finding a lightweight solution for a specific need is nearly impossible.

This AI-powered vibe coding tool democratizes WordPress development by embedding an AI assistant directly into the WordPress dashboard. Non-developers and even lazy developers can describe custom functionality in plain language and watch it take shape instantly, without switching between WordPress and external AI tools or going through tedious export/download/upload cycles.

Built on WordPress’s new AI Building Blocks framework and combined with an LLM fine-tuned on WordPress coding standards and security best practices, the system generates lean, secure PHP plugins tailored precisely to each site’s needs. The entire workflow happens inside WordPress admin – describe your feature, review the generated code, and activate it with one click.

Target Audience

We’re looking for approximately 10 contributors with diverse skills:

Developers/QA (5-6 people)

• PHP developers familiar with WordPress plugin architecture and hooks
• Frontend developers for building the admin UI
• AI engineers experienced with prompt engineering and LLM fine-tuning
• QA engineers to ensure quality standards are met

WordPress Experts (2-3 people)

• WordPress builders and agency owners who understand real-world pain points

Security Specialists (1-2 people)

Ideal contributors understand the WordPress ecosystem, care about open-source sustainability, and want to empower non-technical users to build exactly what they need without bloat.
