WordPress AI Builder is a smart, beginner-friendly website creation tool integrated into WordPress and powered by our partner Extendify. It helps you create a fully functional website in just a few steps using AI-generated layouts, blocks, and content — all based on native WordPress components.
Note: WordPress AI Builder is only available for new WordPress installations made via Softaculous on the Godzilla, Godzilla+, or WPaaS hosting packages.
Accessing the WordPress AI Builder
You can access the AI Builder (Launch Wizard) using one of the following methods:
- Auto-login Email: After setup, an email is sent with a direct login link to your WordPress dashboard. On first login, the AI Builder wizard will launch automatically.
- Softaculous in cPanel:
- Log into cPanel
- Open Softaculous → “All Installations”
- Click “Admin” next to the WordPress instance to auto-login
- From WordPress Admin:
- Log into the WordPress Dashboard
- Click on “AI Assistance” or “Extendify” from the left-hand menu to relaunch the builder or access templates and AI tools
Step-by-Step: Building Your Website with AI Builder
Step 1: Site Setup Wizard
Once launched, the AI Builder will ask you to:
- Choose your site type: Blog, Business, Portfolio, Online Store, etc.
- Enter a title and description: Describe your business or goal — the more precise, the better the AI-generated result.
- Select your structure: Single-page or multi-page.
- Choose a visual style: (e.g., Modern, Minimalist, Clean, Bold)
- Pick sections (if multi-page): Home, About, Services, Contact, etc.
Once submitted, the builder will automatically:
- Create the page structure
- Generate relevant content
- Apply a visual layout using native Gutenberg blocks
Step 2: Edit Content and Layout
You can now begin customizing the site:
- Use the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) to edit text, sections, and layout
- Click on any block to edit text, change formatting, or adjust spacing and colors
- Replace images by selecting the block → “Replace → Upload” or choose from the Media Library
Using AI Assistance (“Ask AI”)
After setup, you can enhance your pages using built-in AI features:
- Click the star icon (“Ask AI”) available within most blocks
- Ask the AI to:
- Reword or expand content
- Generate new sections like testimonials, pricing, or FAQs
- Suggest headings, descriptions, or call-to-action content
You may have a limited number of free prompts. Higher prompt limits may apply based on your hosting plan.
Accessing and Using the Design Library
- Go to Pages → Add New or edit an existing page
- Click “Design Library” in the top toolbar
- Choose from:
- Full-page layouts (e.g., Homepage, About, Contact)
- Pre-styled content sections (e.g., Hero, Testimonials, Pricing)
The templates are responsive and fully compatible with any theme that supports block editing.
Managing and Adding Pages
- Navigate to Pages → All Pages to view/edit generated pages
- To add a new page:
- Click “Add New”
- Use “Design Library” or “Ask AI” to generate content
- Rearrange, duplicate, or delete pages from the toolbar or page list
Publishing Your Website
Initially, your site is in Coming Soon mode. Once you’re satisfied:
- Click “Save” then “Launch” in the WordPress editor
- Assign your domain name if needed
- Enable SSL (HTTPS) for security
- Your site is now live and public
Adding E-commerce Features (Optional)
WordPress AI Builder focuses on informational and service-based sites. If you need e-commerce:
- Install WooCommerce via Plugins → Add New
- Follow the WooCommerce setup wizard
- Customize your shop pages using the block editor
Best Practices
- Be specific with your initial site description — better results from AI
- Use AI suggestions to speed up layout and content generation
- Customize manually to match your brand’s voice and visuals
- Use reusable blocks for repeating content (e.g., contact forms, CTAs)
- Regularly save and preview changes before publishing
