  • How to effectively prompt AI assistants for WordPress plugin development
  • Techniques for structuring your requests to get working code

  • Best practices for reviewing and refining AI-generated code
  • Real examples of plugins created with AI assistance

Whether you're building custom functionality for client sites, creating plugins for your own projects, or simply curious about AI-assisted development, you'll gain practical insights you can apply immediately.

Community Discussion & Support

After Brad's presentation, the group opens up for discussion and troubleshooting. The WordPress Naperville community includes experienced developers ready to help with questions about SEO, e-commerce, Advanced Custom Fields, content strategy, hosting, site migration, and general WordPress challenges.
