AI-Enhanced WordPress Development

Why AI-Enhanced?

  • Lower costs for you: AI-accelerated development means less billable time for research, troubleshooting, and repetitive tasks—savings passed directly to clients. AI-enhanced services can cut billable time & costs by up to 50%.
  • Faster delivery: What used to take days for R&D and prototyping now takes hours. We get to working solutions faster without sacrificing quality.
  • Better quality: AI tools help us catch edge cases, test thoroughly, and explore alternative approaches—resulting in more robust, well-tested code.
  • Senior oversight: AI accelerates development, but every line of code is reviewed and guided by 30 years of experience. You get the speed of AI with the judgment of a senior engineer.

How We Use AI Tools.

  • Human Review: Every line of code created by AI is thoroughly reviewed and vetted by a senior-level developer with 30 years of industry experience, to ensure quality and security. AI agents do not work autonomously at 84EM.
  • Accelerated R&D & Prototyping: Rapidly explore solutions, test approaches, and validate ideas before committing to full implementation. Faster proof-of-concepts mean better decisions upfront.
  • Enhanced Troubleshooting: AI-assisted debugging helps identify issues faster, explore edge cases, and test solutions more thoroughly. Less time troubleshooting means lower costs for you.
  • Code Quality & Testing: Generate comprehensive test cases, identify potential bugs, and explore alternative implementations. More thorough testing without additional billable hours.
  • Documentation Generation: Accelerated documentation writing for both developers and end users — complete, clear documentation without the usual time investment.
  • API Integration Research: Quickly research and prototype third-party API integrations, evaluate documentation, and test implementation approaches before full development.
  • Performance Optimization: Rapidly test performance scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and prototype optimization strategies with AI-assisted analysis.

The AI Tools We Use.

  • Claude Code (developed by Anthropic↗): 84EM’s primary AI development tool, enabling faster delivery of custom WordPress solutions without sacrificing quality. This powerful assistant handles everything from assisting with complex custom plugin builds to debugging complex issues, allowing 84EM to complete projects more efficiently and cost-effectively than traditional development methods alone.
  • Codex CLI (developed by OpenAI↗): A complementary tool we use to get a second opinion on Claude’s work.
  • Copilot (developed by GitHub↗): Used as a final quality check on pull requests and code changes before deployment, providing an additional layer of review to ensure code quality and catch any issues that might have been missed.

What You Get.

  • Cost savings: AI handles time-consuming research, boilerplate code, and repetitive tasks — you pay for strategic thinking and implementation, not busywork.
  • Faster turnaround: Projects that used to take weeks now take days. R&D that used to take days now takes hours.
  • Senior-level quality: AI accelerates development, but every decision and code review comes from 30 years of experience.
  • Thorough testing: AI-generated test cases and edge-case exploration lead to more robust, reliable code.
  • Better documentation: Complete technical and user documentation without the usual time premium.
  • Transparent process: We’re upfront about how AI tools enhance our workflow and how that benefits your project.
  • Opt out: You may opt out of 84EM’s AI-Enabled workflows at any time. See the client controls section on our AI policy page →.
