In this article, we’ll learn how to use AI with WordPress using plugins. Let’s get started.
How to Use AI With WordPress
There are many ways you can use AI with WordPress. You can use WordPress AI plugins like ShortPixel to carry out specific tasks like creating/optimizing images. Alternatively, you can use Uncanny Automator to use AI in WordPress creatively.
Uncanny Automator lets you integrate OpenAI such as Ada, Babbage, Davinci, etc., enabling you to create an AI-powered workflow for different tasks such as:
- Create AI blog post content
- Generate images using the DALL-E text prompt
- Automate replies to questions in forums or chats
Furthermore, it works with the most popular WordPress plugins, including WPForms, MemberPress, AffiliateWP, etc.
To install Uncanny Automator, follow this guide, and to connect to OpenAI, use this guide.
Now, let’s discuss the different use cases and the AI tools/plugins you need to carry them out.
Generate AI Content and Improve Existing Content
Using generative AI, you can write or improve content.
Plenty of tools let you create content, such as Jasper and ChatGPT. However, the challenge is to make them work directly from WordPress.
To overcome this, I recommend using AI Engine, which lets you use OpenAI directly within WordPress. Once installed and connected (through the Open AI API key), you can create blog content, optimize SEO, and improve the content’s grammar without leaving WordPress.
Alternatively, you can also opt for:
- Divi AI. It directly integrates with WordPress, offering powerful contextual text generation.
- Uncanny Automator. Set up custom steps to generate content directly in WordPress using forms.
Generate and Optimize Images for Your WordPress Site
You can use GenAI tools like DALL-E 2 to generate and optimize images, such as content generation.
If you’re new to this, I suggest directly visiting the DALL-E 2 site and generating images there.
However, if you want to integrate DALL-E 2 in WordPress, use Uncanny Automator, as it lets you create workflows directly in WordPress.

- With Divi AI, you can generate unique, stunning images directly from Divi Builder. It also offers AI Image refinement to existing images — all from text input, without the need to know coding or image editing skills.
- ShortPixel is an AI-powered plugin that optimizes images using advanced compression algorithms. The AI manages image resizing and scaling, ensuring it matches the user's device resolutions without affecting the site's functionality and load time (as it runs in the background).
