Welcome to WORDPRESS for ENTERPRISE$, where we go behind the scenes of BILLION-DOLLAR websites.

In this issue, you'll learn:

• How big media and enterprise brands like TechCrunch, Spotify, National Geographic, Airbnb, BBC, CNN, and BuzzFeed use AI in their publishing workflows.

• 30+ AI strategies organized in categories: SEO, security, content creation, editorial workflow, accessibility, e-commerce, and support.

• Get the right tools or WP plugins to implement these AI ideas into your WordPress website.

A few months back, I went to WordCamp US in Portland, Oregon. They dedicated a whole day to showing how big brands use WordPress—imagine TED Talks on billion-dollar WordPress websites!

I joined a few live sessions and later binged all the talks showcasing how enterprise brands like Disney, Vox Media, and the New York Post are using WordPress in their business. I ended up with pages of notes and spent a solid 20 hours learning every insight.

I specifically paid close attention to how these big brands are using AI in WordPress, which I knew would be interesting to y’all. Plus, since we’re helping our clients implement AI in their WordPress, I wanted to gather ideas that could be useful for us, too.

In this issue, I’ll share how big media and enterprise brands like TechCrunch, Spotify, National Geographic, MIT, BBC, CNN, and BuzzFeed use AI in their publishing workflows.

To keep it simple, I’ve organized these AI Ideas into categories: SEO, Security, Content Creation, Accessibility, E-Commerce, Editorial Workflow, and Support. Each idea includes a suggested plugin or tool ⚙️ available in WordPress, so you can test these ideas out quickly. And if a plugin doesn’t quite do what you need, you know where to find us—Multidots is here to help!

Last but not least (and I know you’re excited to get your hands on the list already!), if you need any help implementing these AI strategies in your WordPress site, just hit reply or reach out. Happy to help make AI work for you in WordPress!

FYI…I also write about personal growth and agency growth.

P.S. On a personal note, I became a Papa (Dad) a few weeks ago! It’s been a deeply spiritual experience—witnessing the birth of a child and holding a tiny human in my arms who’s a part of me. I can’t quite put the feeling into words.

Anyhow… If you’d like to read more few pieces of parenting wisdom I’ve gathered along the way, subscribe to my Learn + Grow and read next Saturday’s issue.
