AI in WordPress talks usually stop at “look what Copilot/Cursor can do for your code.” This one goes further. Over the last two years, I’ve watched AI change how a WordPress engineering team actually runs — first as a developer using AI-assisted coding, then overseeing a QA team using AI for test generation and bug triage, and now as an Engineering Director using it for planning, process improvement, and code review.
In 15 minutes, I’ll share what genuinely changed (and what didn’t) at each of those levels — where the productivity gains are real, where they’re overstated, and what it means for how you staff and structure a WordPress team going forward. You’ll leave with three concrete things to evaluate before you scale AI adoption in your own team or agency, not another tool demo.
