Make the Switch. Keep Your Hair.

Pressable is proud to sponsor The WP Minute. We were going to use this space to talk about hosting... but instead, we just want to remind you to drink some water, take a deep breath, and maybe stretch your legs. (Okay fine—also, we’re really good at WordPress hosting.)

AI’s Role in the Future of WooCommerce

In this episode of The WP Minute+ podcast, Matt Medeiros welcomes Brian Coords back to discuss his experiences at Automattic and WooCommerce. They explore the current state of WordPress, the importance of cohesion within the platform, and the role of community feedback in shaping its future. Brian shares insights on the challenges and opportunities presented by AI in e-commerce, the introduction of the MCP (Model Context Protocol), and the marketing strategies being employed to position WooCommerce against competitors like Shopify.
