Hub AI in practice

Artificial Intelligence is present in everyday life – from “googling” to facial recognition to vacuum cleaner robots. AI tools are becoming more and more elaborate and support people and companies more effectively in their tasks, such as generating graphics, texting or coding, or interpreting large amounts of data.

What AI tools are there, how do they work, how do they help in our everyday world – and how do they change our lives? These are the questions we address in our Content Hub Artificial Intelligence in Practice.

WordPress showed off its experimental AI tool Telex at WordCamp US 2025 in Portland. Telex is designed to generate custom Gutenberg blocks for WordPress sites using simple text prompts. CEO Matt Mullenweg demonstrated how a user could create a basic marketing animation with just a few instructions. The tool is available at telex.automattic.ai and provides results as a .zip file for easy installation. Initial tests suggest Telex still has bugs to work out. Mullenweg described Telex as a prototype and part of WordPress's broader AI roadmap. He also introduced a lightweight browser assistant for answering WordPress questions, and referenced Perplexity's AI browser Comet, which could one day allow users to control WordPress directly.

Dolby Vision 2 will use AI to fine-tune TV picture quality in real time, taking both the content and the viewing environment into account. 

The "Content Intelligence" system blends scene analysis, environmental sensing, and machine learning to adjust the image on the fly. Features like "Precision Black" enhance dark scenes, while "Light Sense" adapts the picture to the room's lighting.

Hisense will be the first to feature this AI-driven technology in its RGB Mini LED TVs. The MediaTek Pentonic 800 is the first processor with Dolby Vision 2 AI built in.
