Elementor is diving headfirst into the world of artificial intelligence, and the future of WordPress website building is poised for a dramatic shift. Miriam Schwab, Elementor’s Head of WordPress, recently shared insights into the company’s decade-long growth and its current focus on integrating AI into its core offerings. For those building websites, this means powerful new tools like Angie and Site Planner are on the horizon, designed to streamline the design and development process.
According to Schwab, Elementor is taking a careful and considered approach to major updates and AI integration. The goal is to enhance, not replace, the role of website creators. Expect to see AI assisting with tasks like content generation, design suggestions, and even automated website structure creation. This aligns with the broader trend of AI supercharging development, as seen with projects like WordPress Playground, which allows developers to experiment with AI tools directly in their browser.
The discussion also touched on AI’s potential impact on various aspects of the WordPress ecosystem, from plugin development to customer support and accessibility. By automating repetitive tasks and providing intelligent assistance, AI can free up developers to focus on more creative and strategic work. This opens exciting possibilities for WordPress developers. Plus, with WordPress launching a dedicated education hub, upskilling for this AI-driven future becomes more accessible than ever.
