Agentic Website Building & the Future of WordPress

In WP Legends Episode 164, Narek Torosyan shares his journey from customer care agent to CEO of 10Web, a company that pivoted from managed WordPress hosting to one of the first AI website builders on the market, and has since rebuilt its entire product as a fully agentic, WordPress-native builder.

They dig into what "agentic" actually means versus a chatbot bolted onto a builder, how agencies should respond when a competitor undercuts them using AI, why hosting companies now have to bundle domains, SSL, and builder tools by default or risk losing their customer base, and where Narek sees WordPress and the open web heading by 2030.
