WordPress has created three new plugins that make it easy to add OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Anthropic Claude integration for the PHP AI Client SDK. The plugins enable text, image, function calling and web search support.
Requirements For Using WordPress AI Plugin
PHP 7.4 or higher is required to use these plugins and of course an API key for the AI model. Users on WordPress 6.9 will need to install the WordPress PHP AI client SDK. WordPress 7.0 which rolls out in early April will have the SDK integrated by default.
The official WordPress.org documentation for the PHP AI client explains:
“The PHP AI Client SDK …provides shared infrastructure that lets WordPress plugins and other PHP projects integrate AI capabilities rapidly and flexibly. …it offers a unified interface that works across all AI providers – from simple text generation to complex multimodal operations, streaming responses, and long-running tasks.
Developers specify what AI capabilities they need, and users manage their provider credentials in one place. Those credentials then work automatically across all compatible plugins on their site.”
