Crocoblock has stepped into the AI game with a fresh set of features designed to simplify workflows for JetPlugins users.
If you’ve ever felt bogged down creating queries, tweaking filters, or handling custom content, these AI tools promise to speed things up.
But are they genuinely useful, or just another overhyped addition?
Let’s dive into a hands-on review of JetPlugins’ AI features.
What Is JetPlugins AI?
JetPlugins AI is a suite of tools developed by Crocoblock to automate and enhance aspects of website development within the JetPlugins ecosystem.
It includes 21 plugins, over 200 widgets, and more than 200 templates designed to work with page builders such as Elementor, the WordPress block editor, and Bricks.
These features streamline tasks such as creating website structures, generating SQL queries, and building forms.
All designed to reduce routine work and allow developers to focus more on the creative and strategic aspects of their projects.
Key Features
- AI SQL Query Builder: Automatically creates custom queries for dynamic content.
- AI Form Generator: Helps generate forms in JetFormBuilder with structured fields.
- AI Website Structure Builder: Suggests an editable website data model based on the user-generated description of the site’s general logic or functionality.
These AI features are integrated into JetEngine and JetFormBuilder, making them compatible with popular WordPress builders.
They aim to reduce routine tasks, providing developers with more time to focus on actual development and customization.
AI Website Structure
Designing a comprehensive website structure can be daunting, especially when it involves setting up custom post types, taxonomies, custom fields, custom queries, relationships, and filters.
JetEngine’s AI Website Structure Builder simplifies this process by interpreting requirements and generating a tailored data model.
How it works
The AI analyzes your needs and proposes an editable structure by inputting a concise description of your site’s functionality.
For instance, if you’re developing a real estate platform, you can describe:
“A platform to list properties with categories for rentals and sales, including agent profiles and user inquiries.”
Based on this prompt, the AI suggests:
- Custom post types: Property, agent, inquiry
- Taxonomy: Property category
- Relations: Linking agents to properties
- Filters: Price, location, availability calendar, agent
This automated setup not only accelerates the development process but also ensures a cohesive and logical data structure.
Pros:
✔️Helps automate dynamic content setups
✔️Automatically creates CPTs and meta fields, saving time on routine setup
✔️Generates essential queries via Query Builder
✔️Simplifies filter setup with seamless JetSmartFilters integration
✔️Suggests logical field relationships
✔️Provides a unified interactive dashboard to assess the site structure and navigate for editing
✔️Allows flexible customization e.g. add or rename elements directly within the interface
Cons:
❌ Niche function more useful for larger agencies
AI SQL Query Builder
The AI SQL Query Builder is a unique JetEngine tool that no other WordPress plugin offers.
It allows you to create even the most complex data queries without manually writing commands.
Traditionally, creating an SQL query requires knowledge of its syntax, the WordPress database structure, and table relationships.
The AI SQL Query Builder eliminates this challenge, just describe the data you need, and it will generate a working query automatically. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.
Why not just use ChatGPT to write the query?
The answer is simple—AI Query Builder is specifically designed for JetEngine and WordPress.
It understands their data structures, ensuring precise and accurate results without the need for additional adjustments.
Testing it out
I tested it on a site with user data stored in JetEngine. Instead of manually filtering users by birth date in the Query Builder, I typed:
“Get employees who have a birthday this month. The birth date is stored in the meta field ‘birth_date’. Return only future birthdays and all data from the employees table.”
The AI instantly generated a query that pulled the correct data, saving at least 10 minutes of setup.
It’s not just about speed—the AI also suggests query refinements, which is helpful when fine-tuning results.
Pros:
✔️Saves time on complex queries;
✔️Provides query suggestions for optimization.
Cons:
❌Still requires manual tweaking and fact checking
AI Form Generator
JetFormBuilder is already a solid form solution, but setting up complex forms with repetitive configurations can be tedious.
The AI Form Generator speeds up the process.
Real-world use
I tested it by asking it to create a job application form.
The AI generated a form with fields for:
- Name and surname
- Email and phone number
- Desired position and availability
- Portfolio upload and cover letter
It also automatically added a submit button and generated the after-submit action.
I was pleasantly surprised that the file uploader worked flawlessly.
While the field labels weren’t always perfect, the overall structure was well-organized and required only minor adjustments.
Pros:
✔️Generates logical forms
✔️Reduces setup time significantly
Cons:
❌Doesn’t always get field labels 100% correct
❌Might not fully understand prompts for specific forms

We actually don’t dislike anything about JetPlugins AI Features. It is a niche product with a relatively narrow audience, but if you’re part of that audience, it delivers some smart tools.
