How AI Can Help Run Your WordPress Website
by Fellyph Cintra
Your website should not create more work for you. It should help you get work done.
WordPress powers over 40% of all websites, but most site owners still spend too much time updating content, organizing posts, adding tags, and managing repetitive publishing tasks. In some cases, one AI workflow can handle in seconds what used to take hours manually.
Fellyph will show how AI-assisted workflows are changing the way WordPress websites are managed, including an early look at WordPress Code Studio, a new tool for creating custom AI-supported workflows on your site.
Best for: business owners, marketers, content creators, agencies, and anyone running a WordPress website.18:45 - 19:15
Private AI for Your Business: Run AI on Your Own Computer
by James Twose
Not every business wants to send its data to cloud AI tools.
James will show how businesses can run powerful AI models directly on their own computers: no monthly subscriptions, no per-query costs, no sending sensitive information to external platforms. He will walk through what hardware is actually needed, which tools make setup practical, and how to match the right model to tasks like writing support, document analysis, and Q&A with your own files.
By the end, you will know whether local AI is a realistic option for your business and what first steps to take.
Best for: business owners, consultants, privacy-conscious professionals, and anyone working with sensitive documents.19:15 - 19:30 Q&A
19:30 - 20:00 Open Networking. Continue drinks outside in the bars nearby.
