I explain how I created a dynamic glossary for my WordPress website using Bricks Builder and AI assistance. I walk through the process of using Claude AI to generate a custom PHP function that calculates age based on a birthdate, avoiding the issue of premature rounding up. I demonstrate how to implement this as a custom dynamic tag in Bricks, allowing for flexible use across the site. I emphasize the importance of providing accurate documentation to the AI for better results, and show how to create a simple plugin to add this functionality. Throughout the video, I stress the value of understanding the concept rather than just copying code, encouraging viewers to adapt this method for their own dynamic data needs in WordPress.
