  • Automattic’s mission is to democratize publishing, ecommerce, and messaging, because a fully informed citizenry is the foundation of a functioning democracy. To that end, our 25th biannual Transparency Report is now live. The report details our Trust & Safety Team’s work from July to December 2025 and summarizes the government information requests, intellectual property claims, and takedown demands we have received. In all, it spotlights the important work our Trust & Safety team undertakes to protect user rights across platforms. In an industry where user data is often a closely guarded asset, we believe that sharing this information openly is critical to fostering trust, championing free expression, and furthering our company's mission.

    The future of web creation isn't built in a silo; it's co-created with the WordPress community. When we launched Telex, our experimental AI-powered block creation tool, we invited our users to show us what was possible. The response was incredible. Thousands of creators used it in ways we never anticipated, providing invaluable feedback along the way. That direct partnership is the engine of our innovation. Today, we're sharing our latest update to Telex, powered directly by your creativity and insights. Here’s a glimpse at what’s new: ➡️ Upload reference images when describing your block, from Figma mockups to napkin sketches ➡️ Edit blocks outside of Telex with VS Code, Cursor, and more ➡️ Restore previous versions as new versions ➡️ Available in seven languages This is how the next generation of powerful web tools is built: in the open, together.

    Say hello to the WordPress AI Assistant, which collaborates with you to design, write, and build right inside WordPress.com. This isn't a separate chatbot that gives you fragile, one-off code to manage. It's a true co-pilot, built into your workflow to give you full creative leverage. With the assistant, you can: • Design and Layout: Edit block styles, create new sections, and generate color palettes with conversational commands. • Write and Edit: Rewrite, refine, and translate text for clarity, tone, and impact without leaving the page. • Generate Visuals: Create new images from a description or edit existing ones directly in your Media Library. This is our vision of "Managed Freedom": powerful, intuitive assistance that’s backed by the security of WordPress and real human support when you need it. The AI assistant is now available for sites on our Business and Commerce plans, or with new sites built with our AI website builder. 💙 Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eWa8d94y
