Agentic Engineering with WordPress - AI Agents in WordPress!

Build and use AI Agents from scratch or using established libraries.

!An OpenAI API Key is needed. They have a minimum up front billing of $5 but the course will will need far less than this!

All code samples available. All modules have detailed README files to provide complete explanations to supplement the videos.

Part 1: AI Agents in HTML that can be used in any language.

Part 2: Advanced WordPress Plugin Developers guide to implementing the HTML section into plugins and shortcodes.

In detail...

Part 1: AI Agents in HTML that can be used in any language.

Having given 9 talks/workshops in 2025 on creating AI Agents from scratch, we can create HTML pages that have AI Agents using tool/function calling.

By simplifying and demystifying AI Agents we can use what we learn in any language or framework that can use HTML/JS/CSS.

In this course we will learn with full code already made:

• Basic Agents

• Agents with Static/Dynamic Rag

• Agents with memory

• Agents with Structured Output

REQUIREMENTS: Intermediate HTML/CSS/JS and familiar with APIs, JSON.

Part 2: AN ADVANCED/EXPERT LEVEL WORDPRESS PLUGIN DEVELOPER COURSE

REQUIREMENTS: Advanced WordPress Plugin Development Understanding

You will have all the final plugins and backup of the WP site but the learning process will be using AI coding tools as I develop these plugins.

Once we have had a few lessons on how I use AI Coding Tools, we will then look at the remaining plugins I have built this way and inspect how they work and the wiring involved. The focus is on AI Agents rather than WP coding.

Advanced understanding of WP Plugin Development is a requirement as I will be explaining ONLY the modern AI Coding workflow, plugin architecture and how the AI Agents work.

Topics covered in this course:

Please not there are intentional gaps in number so that I can insert future plugins in the appropriate sections.

• Creating Custom Pages with the HTML used in COURSE01

• PLUGIN01 - A pure PHP AI Agent

• PLUGIN02 - Our standard PHP/JS AI Agent with refactoring

• PLUGIN03 - Tool/Function calling in our Agents

• PLUGIN04 - BLANK

• PLUGIN05 - Create Agent with STRUCUTRED OUTPUT

• PLGUIN10- How to integrate JS bundles with @wordpress/scripts

• PLUGIN11 - A template to wire in Langchain.js for further app development

• PLUGIN20 - CAPSTONE PROJECT where we build a custom WP table with denomalised posts, categories, tags, meta data and Vector Embeddings along with Full Text Search to get enhanced SEARCH leading to a ChatGPT style UI with memory giving answers, RAG Context used (for learning purposes), as well as post title citations permalinks of post used. This is HYBRID SEARCH.

BONUS PLUGINS

PLUGIN30 - LangGraph

• This advanced demonstration combines two AI capabilities:

  Tool-Based Processing

  The plugin intelligently detects when you need WordPress data and automatically executes tools:

  • Get Categories & Tags Statistics: Lists all categories and tags with post counts

  • Get Random Post (French Translation): Retrieves a random post and translates it to French

  Deep Research Tool

  For category analysis, it performs comprehensive research on all posts within a category:

  • Category Analysis: Extracts and analyses all posts in the specified category

  • AI-Powered Summary: Generates insights about themes, patterns, and trends

  • Publication Timeline: Provides chronological analysis of content

  The plugin automatically chooses the most appropriate tool based on your query!

1. LangGraph Tools/Deep Research

2. Langchain Deep Research Agent

3. Find best suited Category of Posts to answer a User query

4. and more...

PLUGIN50 - A dedicated DEEP RESEARCH agent that summarises all posts in a category with a download feature to save as a Markdown file.

PLUGIN51 - Query analyser that determines most appropriate category to answer the user's query.

In 2025 I gave 9 talks/workshops on creating AI Agents from scratch (Python) and I now show you how you can translate that to WordPress.

I have also given over 20 talks/workshops at WordPress/NDC events on WP REST APIs, Web Components and Progressive Web Apps.

These are detailed in the preview videos.

All plugins and backup WordPress site that can be installed with All In One WP Migration plugin (included) are available.

Ready to go! (But not production ready as you will need to check and verify its implementation)
