Recently, I had the chance to work with WordPress for the first time in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, for this post, I decided to set up WordPress 7.0 in a local environment and try out AI Client for myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is the \u201cAI Client\u201d in WordPress 7.0?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AI Client is a system designed to make it easier to use AI services from within WordPress and plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until now, when using AI from a plugin, it was necessary to implement API connection processes and other tasks for each AI service used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using the AI Client, you can access a common framework for working with AI from within WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we’ll try using this system in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting Up WordPress 7.0 Locally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This time, we’ll test it in a local environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be using \u201cLocal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since it makes it easy to set up a WordPress testing environment, it\u2019s useful for experiments like this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, launch Local and create a new WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this post, I\u2019ve named the site \u201cwp-ai-test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
For this test, we are using WordPress 7.0.3.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Trying Out the AI Client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creating a Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When you press the button, it asks the AI a specific question and displays the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m going to create a small plugin called\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open the wp-ai-test<\/code> folder you created in Local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the \u201capp\/public\/wp-content\/plugins\u201d directory in WordPress,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a folder named \u201cwp-ai-client-test.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside that directory, create a file named \u201cwp-ai-client-test.php.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Initial plugin code<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, let\u2019s get WordPress to recognize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I will enter the information as described above and save it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the WordPress admin panel, go to \u201cPlugins\u201d \u2192 \u201cInstalled Plugins.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWordPress AI Client Test\u201d will appear in the list of plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add \u201cAI Client Test\u201d to the Admin Panel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Next, we’ll create a dedicated page in the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the code to the file from earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n


Once you save and refresh the admin screen, \u201cAI Client Test\u201d will appear in the left-hand menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Make sure to \u201cactivate\u201d the plugin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add a \u201cAsk AI\u201d feature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In this session, we’ll set it up so that when the \u201cAsk AI\u201d button is clicked, a fixed question is sent to OpenAI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Add the processing to the ai_client_test_page()<\/code> function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll also make a few changes to the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Save and Run<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When I clicked the \u201cAsk AI\u201d button, the answer to my question was displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Given the name \u201cAI Client,\u201d I had imagined the implementation would be a bit more complex, but I was able to call the AI with some simple code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI Client is not a feature that provides AI itself, but rather a platform for using AI within WordPress. To actually create useful features, you\u2019ll need to integrate it using plugins or similar methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since WordPress allows you to add features through plugins, I felt that combining it with AI Client could lead to the implementation of various AI features in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going forward, I\u2019d like to try out features that are useful for actual WordPress management, such as article summaries and title generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
