    Hi, I’m using WP 6.1.9 (yes am about to update don’t worry) and I want to develop an AI web-app which will simply ask for two textual inputs and — using an AI service — will then create a short .txt file to be downloaded by the user. I’ve got this working well on ChatGPT and Co-Pilot chat using prompts however, I’d like to incorporate it into my WP site.

    Would anyone care to broadly outline how this might work? And recommend a good combination of AI backend and WP plugin to do this? Happy to pay for something good.

    If you want to create this as a plugin, I would recommend reading the manual first: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/ – this will tell you what structure and code quality it should have.

    Apart from the above rules, how you achieve your desired goal is entirely up to you. Please note that you should inform the user before loading any external interface.

    Before you get started, check the WordPress repository to see if what you want to do already exists: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/ai/

    With version 7.0 of WordPress, there should also be additions to WordPress that simplify the connection of AI. Details can be found here: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2026/02/03/proposal-for-merging-wp-ai-client-into-wordpress-7-0/ – It may make sense to start with this right away. However, I don’t know what stage it’s currently at. It’s best to follow https://make.wordpress.org/ai/ and https://make.wordpress.org/core/ to stay up to date with the latest news.

    hi threadI, I’m not sure I follow you. I’ve read the repository –of course. I’m not wanting to develop a plugin. I asked for a recommendation for a plugin that will let me create a simple form inside a WP post, send the prompt (which is basically deep web searching) to OpenAI and display the results . . . . I have tried with “AI Engine” but this plugin doesn’t seem to be able to do what I want even though I’m asking for something very simple.

    I’m looking to get a directed approach to the repository — from someone who may have already done this.

    thanks for all the recommendations. I’m not sure why they aren’t showing here but I’ve been getting them via email (mr moderator, surely a forum is the right place for recs? Are all the replies being deleted?)

    anyway. I coded the plugin myself with a json squirt to openAI…which was easy enough but time consuming. Getting lazy in my old age.
