As a WordPress developer for more than a decade, I’ve built numerous WordPress blocks, ranging from simple callouts and icon blocks to multi-block forms and slideshows. Telex is an experimental tool from the Automattic AI team that turns natural-language prompts into working WordPress blocks. Under the hood, Telex packages your block as a single block plugin and previews the result in your browser, all powered by WordPress Playground. In about two minutes, I had a working WordPress block with all the functionality I requested. Together, we can make WordPress block development faster, friendlier, and more accessible to everyone.
