Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about AI Block Editor – Add and Edit Gutenberg Blocks with an AI Assistant

Gutenberg is the modern block-based editor in WordPress, allowing users to create content using a variety of blocks.

Once installed, go to the Gutenberg editor, enable the AI Editor sidebar, and start adding blocks by describing to the AI what you need.

Yes, an OpenAI API key is required to use the AI Editor. You can enter your API key in the plugin settings.

On WordPress 6.9+, plugins and themes can register custom abilities with the WordPress Abilities API. Developers can opt those abilities into AI Editor so it can use approved site-specific data or actions while helping in the editor. AI Editor only uses abilities that explicitly opt in.

Register a custom ability in your plugin or theme, then add meta.ai_editor.action_name and meta.ai_editor.description to the ability registration. AI Editor can expose that ability to the AI assistant so it can call it when the user request needs that data or action. See the "Connect Custom Abilities" section above for the required meta fields.

AI Editor can insert core Gutenberg blocks. Custom and third-party blocks should be added manually first, then selected for editing. Custom block edits depend on the selected markup AI Editor can see. Some custom blocks store data outside saved markup or render dynamically, so AI Editor may make mistakes and you should review the result. New image blocks are blank placeholders. AI Editor does not add external image URLs, Unsplash images, generated image sources, or media library items. AI Editor uses your theme settings when they are exposed through theme.json. If your theme does not provide theme.json settings, AI Editor cannot see all of your theme styles, so the final look and feel will depend more on your theme's default styling.
