In this first "let's build" video, James from CodeWP walks through creating a WordPress form plugin from scratch using CodeWP's AI assistant. He demonstrates the new CodeWP 2.0 interface and builds a working plugin with front-end and back-end handling in around 30 minutes.
James shows how CodeWP allows rapid creation of complex WordPress functionality through conversational prompts, without needing coding expertise. He describes the features he wants like AJAX submission, custom database, and duplicate submission prevention. The AI generates the boilerplate code, then James iteratively improves it by chatting with CodeWP. He exports the finished plugin and tests it in WordPress. James explains how CodeWP's evolution will add automated testing, troubleshooting, computer vision and more to allow building WordPress sites faster than traditional coding.
