Elementor now powers over 13% of the entire web and continues rapid growth. The company has developed a multi-pronged AI strategy including built-in content generation tools, Angie (an agentic AI plugin for WordPress site management), and Site Planner (conversational AI for guided website creation). Elementor built 200+ custom tools to expose WordPress capabilities to AI before the Abilities API existed, and plans to integrate with it. Version 4.0 represents a major overhaul requiring careful backwards compatibility management. The discussion explores how AI is reshaping web development workflows, support systems, and the evolving role of developers as strategic directors rather than implementers.
