How Google Thinks About AI for WordPress Users
Matt says the energy at WordCamp Asia was high: people kept stopping by Google’s booth to show what they’d built and get the latest on Site Kit.
For people building websites, AI has huge potential in creation and content management. Matt’s examples include using AI Studio to prototype WordPress plugins or managing your publishing flow.
Google’s tools range from vibe coding all the way to Antigravity, which Matt describes as Google’s “full-blown IDE experience.” The idea is to apply AI to running your business and your website, and getting up and going faster.

Where Google Site Kit Is Heading
I’ve used Google’s Site Kit plugin for a long time, and I find it very user-friendly. Matt isn’t on the Site Kit team, but he says the team will keep investing in experiences that help people get the most out of it as AI unlocks new capabilities.
He also mentioned that the Site Kit team has some exciting releases coming.
What Can Marketers Do With Nano Banana Pro?
What’s the most exciting practical use of Nano Banana Pro for marketers and WordPress creators? Matt says Google’s media generation models unlock things that would otherwise be difficult.
One demo his team walks through in AI Studio: a tool that takes an ad or piece of marketing collateral and uses Nano Banana to translate it into hundreds of languages, keeping the same creative design while swapping the text.
That means you can run the same ad or content across different countries, or use it on your website if you serve multiple geographies.

What Should Marketers Watch for Next From Google?
“We’re working on stuff all the time,” Matt says, and Google is always trying to make Search better.
His advice: watch Google I/O in May for announcements about building with Gemini and Google’s other models.
