The AI assistant works best with block themes. If you’re using a classic theme, the AI assistant won’t appear in the editor. However, you can still generate AI images in the media library, when adding a featured image, and when using the Image block.
To enable AI tools on your site:
- Visit your hosting dashboard.
- Click the ⋮ (three dots) button in the action menu next to an eligible site.
- Select Settings in the drop-down menu.
- Click the “AI tools” section.
- Toggle “Enable AI assistant” on.
Once you enable AI tools, you can use the assistant to:
Edit your content
When editing a page or post, open the AI assistant by clicking the AI icon (a four-pointed star) to create or edit content:
For example, ask the AI assistant to:
- “Rewrite this to sound more confident.”
- “Rewrite the event details in a more exciting way.”
- “Give me three title options for this page.”
Redesign your site
Open the AI assistant in Appearance → Editor to change your site’s design. For example, ask the AI assistant to:
- “Make this section feel more modern and spacious.”
- “Change my site colors to be more bright and bold.”
- “Give me more font options that feel clean and professional.”
Create and edit images
Generate images using text descriptions in Media → Library. For example, ask the AI assistant to:
- “Generate an image of a croissant for this blog post.”
- “Change the background color of this image to blue.”
- “Design a flat illustration of a laptop and coffee cup for my about page.”
Collaborate using block notes
When collaborating with teammates on pages or posts using block notes, mention @ai to get AI-powered help. For example:
- “@ai Please fact-check this block.”
- “@ai Give me headline ideas for this article.”
- “@ai Suggest examples to strengthen this paragraph.”
Get general help
Open the Help Center AI assistant for questions about using WordPress.com. For example:
- “How do I add a contact form?”
- “What’s the difference between pages and posts?”
