Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI’s Role in the Future of WooCommerce
Q: What's the exciting thing MCP is going to unlock for WooCommerce developers and agencies?
MCP adds a natural language layer on top of WP-CLI-like tooling, letting store operators execute commands and manage stores via plain language, which could simplify tasks like updating prices or pulling reports.
Taking a Simple Approach to Analytics
Q: What inspired you to create Koko Analytics after Mailchimp for WordPress?
The idea came from a need for a simple, fast analytics tool built on WordPress that doesn't require hosting data externally. After dealing with hosting stress for Fetum and seeing the success of Mailchimp for WordPress, I wanted a product that was easy to deploy, privacy-friendly, and immediately useful for site owners.
Creating a Better User Experience for Jetpack
Q: How has the transition to Automattic and Jetpack been going for you so far?
Devin says the move has been a positive learning experience with exposure to a large, distributed organization; the challenge is balancing control with autonomy to drive Jetpack forward, leveraging past experiences to inform future decisions.
Creating Better Publishing Workflows in WordPress
Q: What role does AI play in your development and support processes right now?
AI is mostly used off-platform for translation, some security testing, and customer support. We're exploring AI-assisted onboarding and note-based collaboration features, plus using AI to tailor features for the 10% of users who need them.
Creating Better Publishing Workflows in WordPress
Q: Where do you see WordPress publishing workflows going, and how do core capabilities vs. plugins factor into that?
Core will cover the basics; advanced workflows—permissions, review, and complex publishing—live in plugins like PublishPress. The ecosystem thrives because plugins can innovate faster, while core provides a stable foundation.
