Kadence AI
KA
AI site builder for the Kadence WordPress theme that generates Gutenberg layouts from a text prompt.
Updated
The read
Kadence AI is built natively into the Kadence theme and block builder for WordPress, generating full homepage layouts, inner pages, and content using the Gutenberg editor from a brief business description. Because it outputs native Gutenberg blocks rather than proprietary components, the results are portable and developer-friendly. Plans start at $99 per year for the Essentials tier and scale to $499 for Elite, which adds WooCommerce tools and advanced security. The AI starter templates and full site builder are locked behind paid tiers, though the base Kadence theme is free.
Where it shines
- Generates native Gutenberg blocks, so output is portable and standards-based
- Integrated WooCommerce support on higher plans for online stores
- Competitive annual pricing with a free base theme
Worth knowing first
- Full AI site builder requires a paid plan starting at $99 per year
- Requires a self-hosted WordPress installation to use
