Topic Title
Plugins to Agents: The New WordPress Architecture
Topic Description
For years, adding an AI feature to a plugin meant building the whole thing yourself: the interface, the API key handling, the prompt layer, the settings screen. Everyone solved the same problem separately, and none of it connected. WordPress 7.1 changes the shape of that problem. With the Abilities API and the AI Client, you declare what your plugin can do and let anything else call it, including clients you didn’t write and don’t know about yet. In ten minutes I’ll show one ability from a plugin I’ve shipped, walk through the actual registration line by line, and then show that same ability being invoked by something outside my own admin screen. I’ll also cover one thing that doesn’t work well yet, and what I’m doing about it. You’ll leave with a specific first step you can try the same night.
