Hold onto your keyboards, WordPress enthusiasts! The web publishing titan has just unveiled Telex, its shiny new AI development tool, at the WordCamp US 2025 conference in Portland.
Described by WordPress co-founder and Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg as a "V0 or Lovable, but specifically for WordPress," Telex is set to revolutionise how we build websites.
Telex, currently in its experimental phase, allows users to create Gutenberg blocks—the modular building blocks of WordPress sites—using simple prompts. Imagine typing your desired content block and receiving a neat .zip file ready to plug into your WordPress site or Playground. It's like magic, but with a sprinkle of AI!
While early testers have noted a few hiccups, Mullenweg remains optimistic about Telex's potential to democratise publishing. He envisions a world where complex coding tasks become accessible to everyone, in every language, at a low cost. "We actually own it and have rights to it," he proudly states.

The conference also showcased a nifty AI help assistant developed during Contributor Day, proving that AI can lend a hand in more ways than one. Mullenweg even shared his admiration for Perplexity’s Comet, an AI browser that could enhance WordPress interaction.
Despite the excitement, Mullenweg acknowledged the legal tussles with WP Engine over trademark use. However, his focus remains on making WordPress a more accessible platform through AI innovations.
So, whether you're a seasoned developer or a curious newbie, keep an eye on Telex—WordPress's latest step towards a more inclusive digital future!
