Transcript
it was kind of little bit disappointing because I believe like 40% of the web 40% of the internet is actually hosted with uh WordPress but when you look at the plugins like you don't see many of the products and you don't see many AI products and um and they're not well done some of them are not well done the review the ones that I reviewed um so but you know we still we still have some cool stuff for you hi my name is Demetri Bonichi and I'm a content creator agency owner and AI enthusiast you're listening to the AI Agents podcast brought to you by Jotform and featuring our very own CEO and founder Idkin Tank this is the show where artificial intelligence meets innovation productivity and the tools shaping the future of work enjoy the show hey everyone and welcome back to another episode
of the AI Agents Podcast we're back with two people that love AI and that haven't seen each other in the digital realm in like two weeks it feels like how you doing man you're looking tan you're looking good hey yeah uh yeah I took a little trip and uh you know had some fun with the kids and uh and we are back at uh looking into AI agents yes we are um well I think obviously time time spent with family uh is is always warranted it's always feels good but it's it's crazy to me um you know we we're we're finally in summer we started this in the winter you know we're uh both uh Mediterranean looking men who just are getting a little bit of a better tan um now this time of year so we appreciate it we appreciate the summertime for sure
and we appreciate all it's like six yeah you just reminded me that this is the kind of we are in the like six month episode or something like that like just it's been half a year can you believe that no I I really can't i really can't i was looking at the analytics and I was like "Oh crap." I was like "We start this December 15thish which means it's been we're recording this on the June 17th." It's been about 6 months so thanks to everybody for the support we really appreciate it um just amazing uh response overall so if you do like this and want to uh continue to get more episodes like this please make sure to hit that like button on YouTube and also don't forget to leave reviews on different podcast uh platforms like Apple podcast and whatnot it it really does
a lot to help the algorithm so yeah uh in in this episode we're going to be talking about Jot not Jot Form i almost said well we are going to mention Jot Form in the dang in the episode at some point we all know that but we're going to talk about WordPress AI agents builders and more yeah that's that's what we did like we looked at all the plugins on WordPress and different builders like AI builders um to see like you know what kind of tools are available um it was kind of little bit disappointing because I like word I believe like 40% of the web 40% of the internet is actually hosted with uh WordPress but when you look at the plugins like you don't see many of the products And you don't see many AI uh products and um and they're not well
done some of them are not well done the review the ones that I reviewed um so but you know we still we still have some cool stuff for you no absolutely i think it's um it's shocking to me that you know we were talking about this beforehand like what is an AI agent the reason we're going to have to parse this out a little bit into different types of things for uh these um these tools is there is like agentic capabilities in a lot of these little things but there maybe can't be called a full-fledged agent so that's why we're going to have to like we're going to go back and forth between agent stuff and then a little bit of builder here and there cuz I you wouldn't call the build you wouldn't call a builder an agent really right that I just for
the audience I want to clarify some things here because maybe they're like well this is agents what it like what would you say a builder is yeah I mean for me an AI agent is is a an AI that actually works behind um behind the you know behind the back that is actually doing stuff for you 24/7 but you know builders are not really AI agents but they are kind of similar because they actually build stuff for you anyways like they actually um you know you you give them and I will you know we will give some examples uh but you give them a task and then they start building a website for you uh and then you give feedback and they improve the website so it's it's like you know you attend to it so um it's you know it's in the gray area
but um I think they're still cool yeah yeah i mean like it it's so weird cuz agents it's like they do actions obviously more so than an LLM so there is an agentic component I feel like to these builders so they fit in and then a lot of the the plugins that I'll bring up will have some agentic components too it's it's very interesting definitions you know these words these words have meaning but we don't know what they uh and like five years we'll we'll have an accurate estimate of what what really was an agent and wasn't I feel yeah I mean think about it like if you let's say um if you hired an agency to do a website for you what would happen is um they would build the first version for you that would be a lot of interactions but after that
maybe they are still going to maintain that right so in this case the AI uh AI AI builder is like you know you're building with the AI builder but then after that you know the AI AI builder kind of behaves like an agent and it keeps you know keeps you up to date keeps you know improving your website maybe um keeps keeps track of things programmatic stuff I think that's the gray area yeah yeah exactly all right well let's dive right into it with your first example yeah um so I'm going to start so basically um I'm going to start with WordPress um this is kind of secret um I believe because uh there's no like announcement of this and it says early access so WordPress actually has this AI uh website builder WordPress.com um so as you know WordPress is this um free open-source
product and it's hosted in the WordPress.org or but the people who actually like founded WordPress also have a commercial uh company called WordPress.com where they actually provide hosting and um and on WordPress.com you cannot find it uh any linked from anywhere but the URL is wordpress.comi- website-builder so you can go to here and you can start using this um I don't think it's launched as a product maybe they are beta testing and I stumbled upon it somewhere like someone mentioned it and then I I checked it out and uh discovered it so uh um and uh it seems to be a good product um so it's the um so um basically you have this prompt uh build a website for my coffee shop is the examples and uh basically you enter that and then it's it actually because WordPress.com is also a hosting company it
can build a website and it can host it for you so that's that's one great thing about that uh and you know it's it has some uh start or free WordPress AI site builder trial today uh and yeah doesn't mention a lot of things but uh you can still uh do it so let's try to build a build a cleaning home cleaning service website so we're going to try this and let's see how it works yeah uh this is this is the web web page uh created by the WordPress um AI agent um it gave it a name like deep clean is the name of the um service and reliable home cleaning services for spotless home it understood like what I'm trying to do and created this website and um it can even do like created the schedule now button um um I mean it's
just the design at this point it it doesn't do anything but I could always uh use one of the um you know scheduling appointment uh plugins and just connect it to here and um as we can see it created all these texts uh it created all these pictures about home cleaning and um yeah it looks amazing um so our service includes standard home clean deep cleaning um and you can book now uh which just takes you back to the page yeah I mean this is a great way to create um a page and then once you create this page you can always launch it or you can further edit it and um to customize it even further and so this was the WordPress um the second one I'm going to talk about is the Hostinger uh Hostinger is also another hosting provider they are also
host they host like similar to WordPress.com they host uh WordPress websites and they have an AI tool um and in their website they actually mention it here um start sell on online um work smarter and create faster with AI ai rider quickly and easily craft unique copy for headlines ai image generator ai SEO assistant ai blog generator um there's also an AI uh builder this is also not mentioned but I actually found it here um yeah so yeah let's create a website with Hostinger as well um coffee maybe I will do a coffee shop uh coffee shop and um we are a coffee shop and we would like to uh we yeah we want um what do you what do you want to do we we would like people to uh find us when they Google Google maybe we are in San Francisco Google uh
when they Google about uh San Francisco coffee shops okay so let's see uh create a website this action will permit all your current okay so I already created a test one so it's mentioned that yeah that's fine let's change the templates and let's just say create a website yeah uh so this is the coffee shop website it created for me um and it's much more beautiful i can say that if you compare it to the one created by the WordPress um it's it's much more beautiful uh basically it's showing all these pictures perfect blends var blends why black inc black inc it even created this brand for us and uh sections very beautiful site so if you're looking for something beautiful hostinger actually provides a better uh beautiful option but um you know WordPress just came out so you over time it might actually improve
um this site as well um and this is probably this is their um oh actually this is probably one of the I'm not sure if this is their own AI agents or I'm your personal assistant you can ask me any questions um what can you do for me i can help you create edit manage your websites okay so this is actually ask is like their AI agent that can help you build your website um and let's try something um let's change uh can you change the brand to you know um um what should be the the brand um to something else maybe I just well I mean say that you can change the website brand name logo or other branding a website builder let's know what you would like to advi let's name it uh poured over change the brand to port over let's see
change brand website offer update the site's name and logo builder setting would you like me to generate a new logo uh yes okay it will generate a logo for me as well that's cool h so yeah um I need to update these manually but it looks like it created a logo for me oh that's pretty dope oh okay i'm going to use this to um port put port or Yeah like coffee poor okay i have to buy credit oh they got to pay for credit well we could just use Yeah just use a Yeah you don't need that okay yeah I mean um but it looks good um uh a lot of fun beautiful design and um looking great uh so yeah this was hostinger uh before I go to the next one do you do you want to actually take over yeah absolutely yeah
so what I'm going to show you now is uh it's actually using WordPress uh sort of um are you familiar with Divvy no not really okay so Divvy is a is a builder uh that's been very it's like the most popular builder I think in the WordPress ecosystem you have Divvy you have like Elementor and you have uh Elegant Themes I think have been the list or sorry both divies by Elegant Themes um I'll show you a little bit of a breakdown of this but essentially what the tool is doing is before it was the step forward in building WordPress websites because it was your drag and drop builder and now they've managed to enhance that to take their drag and drop components and turn them into AI builders and also not only that but improving things like text um improving uh and fine-tuning the
code base a lot of really cool stuff so I'm going to show the demo here it's really awesome today we are excited to release Divvy AI a powerful text and image generator built inside of Divvy allowing you to create spectacular images write fantastic content and improve your existing website on the fly using artificial intelligence divvy AI is unique not only because it is conveniently accessible in the visual builder first let's talk about the Divvy AI image generator which can create unique and stunning images of all types out of thin air you simply tell Divvy about your image choose a style and then let the AI get to work within a few seconds Divvy AI will create four unique images if you like one you can generate additional variations to hone in on the perfect result you can create images in the style of photos digital
art 3D animation paintings drawings and more instead of hunting for the perfect image you can create it quickly and without leaving the builder so as you can see it's a lot of the built-in things that you saw over there um inside of here so it's got this image generator which obviously really does help with um placing like products and stuff like this but not only that usually websites start off with just a bunch of Lauram Ipsum text working with pre-made you can take that and obviously turn it into nice text with uh your can also write content with the skill of a professional content creator tell Divvy what you want to write about and you'll get back some fantastic results immediately since Divvy AI is part of Divvy it knows the module and content field you're working with we also give it information about your
website and context from the current page which helps it generate more intuitive results [Music] so as you can see it's pretty common in the sense that you know a lot of uh AI tools are able to do this but it really works nicely because people who are used to like that builder which like I said it is like the most popular one um are kind of able to to have that and then there's quick actions which I think are pretty cool too for like cuz obviously you showed an entire build but this is sort of like quick building with AI in the component part of it divvy AI's content tools come with many quick actions that you can use to refine results and improve existing content yeah automatically translate to different languages fix spelling and grammatical errors shorten a paragraph expand on an idea change
the tone or tell a Divi AI to improve your content automatically and then the other components are pretty similar in the sense of like uh parts of the page like telling it to generate and it pretty much just uses the the list of tools out there that I that I mentioned um or that I just mentioned previously so with this um let me just show you i think from a pricing standpoint I don't think it's that expensive actually i know the nice thing about Divvy for a long time is that they offered lifetime pricing for their tool but I don't think it's the case with Divvy AI i was trying to find the pricing on this but this is essentially like if you want to take WordPress and soup it up with a builder that's like completely AI oriented this is just your like layered
on uh capability set so um yeah this is amazing because like you don't have to hire a designer you don't have to hire a programmer uh uh you don't have to write a copywriter like just in a very very quickly you can generate the images you need and um you can always go to one of the you know ls like you know chipt and then generate the image as well but in this case uh like you can just do that within your website builder which is which makes things much easier because you know uh all you have to say is like just replace this image with a better image and then it will just regenerate one if you don't like it it will regenerate one as well uh so it just makes the iteration so much faster um sure especially like when you're writing like
a website copy maybe you just write something quickly and then tell AI to like write a better one and just improve things and it just gives you so much speed uh when you're creating websites yeah and there's other tools like this i'm gonna dive into another one later unless you want to get into yours uh now we can uh do that there's uh a lot of tools like this um out there and I'm I don't know which one do you want to do you want to go first or me um yeah you you can go you know go with another one as well yeah yeah cuz it I think this kind of fits in to backtoback an interesting type of theme here all of the tools that were making it easier for you to make websites with a without AI right which is drag and
drop essentially rebranded into actually not only is it drag and drop but it's also AI enhanced and this one as well ele um from idea to wireframe in minutes is like their new tagline co-pilot naturally stuff like this uh let's show you how very similarly to what you showed it has the same capability uh as that first example you gave [Music] So same type of writing capabilities as what you saw before tone I think matching tone of voice is always very important so I like that um take a look deeper into this AI co-pilot predict your next wireframe layout oh so as you can see it's trying to p predict what the rest of your page should look like and it's giving you options that's actually pretty smart so you see it said like one two and three um for potential options yeah I used
when I had um WordPress I used this tool so Oh and then you can grab a section always much easier to improve something as opposed to like uh coming up with something from scratch um so like if it can create something for you and you can say "Hey I don't like this just delete this." You can just delete it quickly or you can just improve it or just keep it right it just gives you so many options um yeah definitely very useful yeah and as you can see it gives you a lot of different options for visuals and stuff like that too um I think that's a pretty aesthetic looking section of a web page pretty quick and then naturally it has the ability to edit things on a writing standpoint shows you the HTML that it looks like as well in there ai for
code interesting oh okay you know what this is something I would have loved when I was originally doing this and was very big into custom CSS man I would have killed to have an AI tool debug my CSS and stuff like that yeah this is pretty convenient oh and then you could just tell it to do it and then it'll do it that's cra That's nuts man back in my day we're both like back in our day when we were building on WordPress manually i was writing my own dang WordPress website yeah that's crazy so any of the different components can be added um it's pretty pretty cool stuff so Elementor another great tool um that a lot of people use so if I go to buy now so as you can see honestly these are pretty affordable rates and what I think is pretty
important for a lot of people to understand the value of these tools i'd just say I don't So it says build annually probably has to be built annually and the reason they're probably making it so that it has to be built annually is because somebody could just blitz through updating their website with the monthly version and then get the value out of it because of how quickly and effectively it is so honestly for 48 bucks though I mean you remember and I remember the cost for like a developer back in the day to make a nice website was crazy what those people were charging it was like tens of thousands of dollars if you wanted to get a good website exactly uh it's just and you you don't just build a website you have to keep uh improving you have to keep iterating on it
um so definitely it's worth it it's nothing yeah it's pretty much like I said at 48 bucks even if you're paying for the high-end on this I just don't see I don't see a world in where when we were starting our websites on WordPress I could never imagine this i was like when I first got into looking into the improvements of website building even with no uh drag and drop builders I was like "Oh my god." Um so it's definitely made some improvements so uh the next one I'm going to mention is very it's going to surprise you obviously okay obviously uh Jotform's um AI agents Jotform AI agents plug-in um so basically we have AI chatbot for WordPress uh plugin um and already has like um we just recently launched it and already has uh over 1,000 installations and good ratings and because it's
free um it has all these features um so this is just from AI agents uh what what's great about just from AI agents is um we have all these 10 different channels uh that like you know you can once you train your agent like you can you can buy a phone number use it as a phone agent uh you can put as a chatbot on your website and if you're on WordPress you can use this free plug-in uh and it's all free right it's all free until you get like 100 conversation per month uh so there's no trial there's no uh like limits uh there's no like credit buying like we see on all the other products it's just if you receive less than 100 conversations per month on your AI chatbot it's all free uh and included with all the features um so and
you know it has all these different channels uh you know the WhatsApp voice uh messenger agent uh the app that people can install on their mobile phones to to to contact you uh contact your AI agent um you know we just released the Shopify agent uh which basically just like the WordPress uh you can install and uh you know even kiosk so so many features just from AI agents and um so you can basically install this plug-in and I installed the plug-in so as you see here just from a once you install the plugin it's just start showing on your WordPress admin panel like this J from AI chatbot and Then you can like you can add like a greeting um how are you doing and you can you know you can show this greeting like you know live preview like this um basically it
can show here you can add like a pulsing effect to increase the conversations uh you can position on the different part different side of the page and uh you can generate a an avatar or you can just pick one of these uh here that you know fits well with your website and um so you can give your agent a name and you know customize it according to your needs and you can all do all this from the uh WordPress plugin but um if you want to do more like you can actually go to Jotform as well and then uh log into the same account as you have this and uh once you log into your account basically um right you can actually customize your agent here uh and you'll have more features here like you have forms tools actions um you know all kinds of
features available uh if you go to the Jotforms um agent builder as well but some basic stuff is available here like the colors and stuff like that um yeah so um and you can improve your knowledge base here um and that's it my chatbot is now ready and it's actually I I actually made it live we can actually see it here um so yeah uh this is AI's podcast blog i created one using the wordpress.com and um yeah uh I can ask about like you know about this podcast learn about this podcast um and it can provide me information so people can communicate with you on your website um so this is your AI agent on your website this is your chatbot um so this was the uh first chat bots I looked at I looked at others as well like Um they I wasn't
impressed with many of them but one of the good ones is TDIO uh TDIO is a pretty uh popular product um it's it has the AI chatbot uh Lyra AI agent is their their chatbot um resolve customer request instantly with AI customer service um you know it's uh this is their website this I want to update my payments so you can do many of the things just like Jet from AI agents uh one platform so many ways to improve your support um so let's take a look at the um the they also have a plug-in and they have like 100,000 installations uh they started out much earlier than just from AI agents and um pretty popular and let's take a look at the um so when you actually open it on the agent builder you can't do anything here so basically you just open the
panel on their website and just you click on this and then you go to their website and on the website um you can activate it uh let me activate this and then disable the Jotform AI agent uh on the on the WordPress um let's see where do I do that here um basically I can go to plugins okay I will just do it by just deleting it here delete the chatbot this should make it go away from the website so we can actually um we already made it um live here so we can take a look at the website and see um let's open our website yeah here here is the video one chat with us click on it hi there if you need any assistance I'm always here let's see uh what is the podcast about uh oh okay it's actually asking for email
address and to sign up for the newsletter um so if you want to collect like leads and stuff like u get the email address of people who visit your website this is pretty useful uh but I will just close this and see if it works it looks like this is required i wonder if I can just disable this here um email integration uh let's take a look at emails uh this is the configur activate lyro personality and let's see if I can disable the email it doesn't look like I can just disable it easily maybe there's a way but yeah I will just enter it in this case my demo email address all right uh and yeah the agent podcast discusses topic related to artificial intelligence and it applications read more here it's actually linking to the page so yeah uh this looks good and
so this was the uh sec the the AI agent that uh yeah this is all from me um sounds good all right well we're hitting the we're hitting about the 40 minute mark so we're actually in a good spot for me to show the last one I think um last one I got here is another one and this is just to call out like obviously you have your main stay examples of AI builders and stuff like or I mean um Elementor and Divvy are like theme drag and drop builders that have AI components now but inside of just the plug-in directory you're going to find some gems too this is a very highly rated as you can see um example of one that's decently similar so AI engine essentially seamlessly connects uh with the world of AI it can do a bunch of different things
it's got chat bots in there it's got forms co-pilot images and translations fine-tuning embeds all this stuff and the reason that I'm calling this out is that I would it would do you well to just literally look through the uh WordPress plug-in center in general cuz this is what I found and I'm pretty sure the pricing on this is actually not too bad like if I look at this um for one website yearly it's probably like one of the cheaper options out there um and there is a free version to try out because if you want to learn more about what these are like you'll find that they actually do pretty okay and a lot of them will have uh obviously we we think our chatbots's better but you know if you want to try out and play around with different uh templates and um
make your own systems utilizing some chat bots and stuff like that you can uh with different tools like uh this uh Meow App AI Engine Pro there there's a couple different ones out there um to try out but I literally as you can see you can click on this and download it and install it onto your website pretty quickly there's just there's a lot of pre pretty interesting free uh tools out there and it's even getting to the point where now a tool like this has access to what I think is crazy is uh the MCP protocols that are coming out so are you familiar with MCP yeah so as you can see even this guy has like MCP protocol in there which is kind of shocking allow powerful AI agents like Claw to fully control and manage your WordPress site i am I'm interested
to see where that goes in the future right we were talking about it earlier we're talking about and showing manual click clack improvement capabilities that you can do yourself but imagine a world in where you've trained an agent on how to continuously update copy and stuff like that on your website and then give it access to an MCP protocol and then it does it that's that's an interesting uh future thought experiment for programmatic AI controlled or sorry moving from programmatic pages to AI augmented pages on a recurring basis yeah that's going to be interesting uh basically uh those agents will have um you know continuous um um connection to your website they they will be able to access your website whenever they need um you know one example would be if you you know if you show data on your website right the AI can
continuously um update that data and just provide the latest data uh like think about this like you know you uh an AI agent that that that's actually watching a basketball game and like just takes the score and all the stats right it doesn't even have to watch it can just watch an API and then take all the information and make analysis or make you know create some uh information and just post it on your website right that's just that's just like you have up-to-date information on your website you can provide it to people and uh and it's all generated automatically uh it's great for SEO it's also great for people who like just follow your website so uh this kind of feels like you know instead of hiring people now you hire you you know start using these AI agents and then they actually do
stuff for you and with all these protocols like MCP they will have like continuous uh access continuously be able to uh do all these things for you and it's pretty exciting imagine a world in where someone would be able to uh write uh a news piece on uh Tyrese Hallebert and uh choking in the NBA finals within about within about 24 hours of uh the game or well not sorry not within 24 hours but instead within like 5 seconds of it of it ending real time commentary because that's what people do they um usually like these news people they'll be watching the game and they have like a they have like a story ready kind of like when it's finished based off of what happened but an AI would be able to like quickly pivot and all that kind of stuff if there's a game
winning shot you know that sort of thing they would prepare like two copies of the newspaper when something happens at night exactly and they would be ready to publish any of them in you know whatever the election or whatever is happening they have to copies and uh and so you don't even have to do that because the AI can just write stuff instantly exactly well we appreciate you guys for listening to this episode of the AI agents podcast great show as well please leave a like comment the word the works do everything down there and we'll see you in the next one peace
