Another heavyweight news in the field of website construction has arrived - WordPress has officially launched an experimental artificial intelligence development tool called Telex. Although this tool is still in the testing stage, it has already made a name for itself in actual website construction. Doesn't this make people look forward to future website construction? Compared to the cumbersome development model of the past, the emergence of Telex is undoubtedly a timely rain, bringing developers a brand new and efficient experience.
Telex: WordPress's new favorite for 'atmosphere coding
Telex is an upgraded "atmosphere encoding" tool for WordPress in the era of artificial intelligence. Its main goal is to assist developers in generating Gutenberg modules more efficiently, as these modules are the fundamental elements that make up WordPress websites. At the just concluded "WordPress Annual Report" conference, Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, personally presented multiple practical application cases of Telex, which opened the eyes of the audience.
Practical application case: Crossing from complex to simple
Mullenweg highlighted several examples built by community creator Nick Hamze using Telex at the meeting. Among them, price comparison tools are particularly eye-catching. In the past, developers had to spend a lot of time and money customizing highly interactive web elements, sometimes even investing weeks of time and tens of thousands of dollars in costs. But now, with Telex, it can be easily generated in just a few seconds, which greatly improves efficiency.
In addition to price comparison tools, Telex is also cleverly used in the website title area. Developers have used it to add features such as real-time business hours, phone numbers, and map links. Imagine that when users visit a website, they can see the real-time business hours of the store at the first time and directly click on the map link to navigate to it, which greatly enhances the user experience.
Let's take a look at other showcase cases. Developers have used Telex to create a carousel of partner logos, customized pricing tools, Google Calendar integration, and a grid layout that displays article cards of the same height on the WordPress homepage. Mullenweg couldn't help but sigh, "In the past, the development of these features could cost thousands to tens of thousands of dollars, but now we can complete them with very little cost in the browser. It's really shocking
Developers have unlimited creativity, Telex has huge potential
Developer Tammie Llister has taken Telex's potential to the extreme. She uses Telex to create a new Gutenberg module every day, such as playable ASCII versions of Tetris and Halloween themed blocks. These creative modules add a lot of fun and uniqueness to the website.
It is worth mentioning that Telex's presentation was not conducted in isolation, it was carried out simultaneously with other AI related projects in WordPress. Mullenweg also mentioned some new architecture developments, such as capability APIs and MCP adapters, which will help WordPress better integrate into AI workflows and further expand the application boundaries of WordPress in the AI field.
Future Development: Evaluation Standards Assist AI Model Testing
Mullenweg also revealed an important news that WordPress will launch some evaluation criteria in 2026. These standards are not just decorations, they will help AI models test various tasks on the WordPress platform, such as changing plugins and editing text. This will undoubtedly provide stronger support for the deep integration of WordPress and AI, making developers more proficient in using AI tools.
In today's digital age, the importance of website construction is self-evident. The Telex tool launched by WordPress undoubtedly injects new vitality into the field of website construction. It not only improves development efficiency and reduces development costs, but also stimulates unlimited creativity among developers.
I believe that in the future, with the continuous improvement and development of Telex, it will play a more important role in website construction. Let's wait and see!
