WordPress has been around for over twenty years. It powers 43% of the web. It’s not going anywhere. And if we build foundational systems that adapt to whatever the AI landscape becomes, WordPress will be the center of the open web for the next twenty years too.
The primitives we now have fit together like legos – and now WordPress really is a great place to build AI.
The open web is going to change. The way people consume content, the way they interact with services, the way they build and create – much of it will be mediated by LLMs and AI. The question is whether that future is open or closed. Controlled by a handful of platforms or distributed across millions of independent sites.
I know which future I’m building for.
