How can I get started?
The AI Team offers lots of ways to participate, and we’d love to have you join us! To start, we recommend that you:
- Create a WordPress.org user account or log in if you have one already.
- Sign up for an account on Slack using your WordPress.org user account and join the #core-ai channel. This is where we hold all of our regular meetings and chats. Feel free to say hello!
The Core AI team and contributors recommend reading and familiarizing yourself with some of the most relevant discussions, work and concepts for this.
- AI Building Blocks – A high-level overview on the strategy that Core AI has for the WordPress project.
- Project repos: PHP AI Client, Abilities API, MCP Adapter, AI plugin
- Abilities API Overview (third party) – A great article by a Core AI contributor describing the Abilities API in great detail.
- MCP Documentation – Documentation for Model Context Protocol.
- MCP Adapter Github Discussions – The most relevant one is a discussion on how this will be packaged and distributed.
- PHP Client API Github Discussions – Several great discussions for the PHP client API building block.
You should also skim the #core-ai Slack channel. The WordPress Project Slack recently had AI features enabled, and using that for a overview is very helpful!
Exploring
A suggestion to get started once you have explored the materials and repos is to start with the AI Experiments. Here you can explore the repo and also join in discussions.
