Have you ever wished you had a coding partner right inside WordPress—someone who could help you write, edit, or debug code without switching tools?
With Advanced File Manager Pro v3.3.0, that wish becomes reality. This release introduces the brand-new AI Coding Assistant, now built directly into the Code Editor.
Whether you’re working on PHP functions, styling with CSS, or editing JavaScript files, the AI Coding Assistant is here to make coding faster, smarter, and far more intuitive. Instead of juggling between your file manager’s code editor and external AI tools, you can now get real-time help exactly where you need it.
Let’s learn why we have added AI integration in the Advanced File Manager.
Why AI Coding Assistant Matters
Working with theme or plugin files can be tricky, even for experienced developers. Small mistakes can break your site, while repetitive edits slow down your workflow. That’s why the AI Coding Assistant is such a game-changer.
With this new feature, you can:
- Generate new code instantly — Need a snippet? Just ask.
- Edit and improve existing code — Get smarter suggestions right inside the editor.
- Customize with confidence — Make changes with the support of AI, reducing trial and error.
Whether you’re fine-tuning functions, adjusting styles, or experimenting with custom scripts, the AI Coding Assistant helps you work more efficiently without leaving WordPress.
How to Set Up the AI Coding Assistant
Getting started is simple and takes a few minutes:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Go to File Manager → AI — Code Pilot.
- Check the box labeled ‘Enable AI Integration’
- Add your GPT API Key.
- Click Test API Key to validate.
- Save your changes.
- Open a file (like .php, .js, or .css) in the Code Editor, and you’ll see the AI Coding Assistant Option in the bottom right.

Benefits of AI-Powered Editing
The addition of the AI Coding Assistant is more than just a feature—it’s a productivity upgrade.

- Unlimited use: There’s no cap—you can use the AI as much as you like while editing your files.
NOTE: Currently, the AI runs on OpenAI’s GPT model (GPT 4o), but we’re already working on expanding support to additional models like Gemini, DeepSeek, Claude, Meta CodeLlama, Qwen, xAI Grok, giving you even more choice in how you code.
What This Means for Developers and Site Owners
For developers, the AI Coding Assistant feels like having an extra set of eyes on your work. For site owners, it means quicker updates and less reliance on external tools. When combined, it creates a smoother experience for managing custom code directly inside WordPress.
