WordPress.com Introduces Free AI Website Builder
WordPress.com has launched a new AI-powered website builder that allows users to create a functioning website using a chat-style interface, announced on their website. This tool is available for free and is aimed at entrepreneurs, freelancers, bloggers, and others who need a professional online presence.
The AI builder is designed to simplify the website creation process by allowing users to interact with an AI chatbot to design their site with custom text and images. Users can start by typing a prompt that describes their website idea, such as "build a website for my coffee shop." The AI then builds the site, which users can further customize either through the chat interface or manually.
Currently, the AI builder is not equipped to create advanced websites like e-commerce stores. However, it provides a quick and easy way to set up basic websites. Users can try the AI builder with 30 free prompts before needing to select a hosting plan, which includes unlimited prompts.
To launch the website publicly, a hosting plan is required, with options ranging from $96 per year for the Premium plan to $300 per year for the Business plan. These plans offer additional features such as storage, a free domain for a year, and access to premium themes.
