The AI assistant

On Pro and Business the assistant builds a first version of your website and changes your pages from a description in plain words. It uses the same blocks you use by hand and only changes your draft, so nothing goes live until you publish.

Where to find it

• New website > With the assistant: describe the website, and the assistant builds a first version.
• In the builder: choose Assist in the left panel, type what to build or change, and press Send.
• In the header and footer too (they show on every page): ask for changes there, with or without a screenshot. Building a whole new design or copying a website works on pages only.

Good things to ask

• "Add our opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 9 to 18."
• "Make the colours warmer and the headings bigger."
• "Add a contact form with name, email, phone and message."
• "Write an about text for a family bakery since 1985."
• "Add photos to the slider" (uses free stock photos).
• "Add bookings for 60-minute massages" (creates a booking offer you can fine-tune).
• "Add a new Cookies page that says we use cookies for analytics, with the cookie list." (see below)

Select a block first to talk about that block ("make this shorter").

New pages

Ask for a new page with what should be on it, and the assistant creates the page and fills it. A new page starts as a draft and is not in your menu yet: open it with the button under the answer, check it, and add it to your menu when it is ready (see Pages and the menu). It goes live with your next Publish.

Screenshots

Show the assistant what you mean: click the picture button next to the message box, paste a screenshot (Ctrl+V or Cmd+V) or drag one onto the chat. Ask "make this page look like this", or point at something you want changed.

• The screenshot is made smaller in your browser, sent with that one message only and not stored. Later in the chat the assistant no longer sees it.
• It rebuilds the layout and style with Fwdia blocks, as close as Fwdia allows. It doesn't copy texts, logos or photos from someone else's website.
• A message with a screenshot counts as 5 messages.

Undo

Every change the assistant makes shows in a card with an Undo button. Ctrl+Z works too.

Starting from an existing website

On New website > With the assistant, choose Start from an existing website and paste its address. Pick whether to copy its texts and images (only for your own website) or to use it as inspiration with new texts and photos.

The assistant reads the one page at that address. To take over more pages, open a page in the builder and paste the address of the matching page in Assist, with words like copy or based on. Moving your whole website? See Move your existing website to Fwdia.

What it won't do

The assistant only works on your Fwdia site. It doesn't make up facts such as prices, opening hours, addresses or phone numbers: it uses placeholders like [price] or asks you. Links and contact details must come from you.

Messages per month

Building a whole page or website, a new page with content, a message with a screenshot, or starting from an existing website counts as 5 messages. The counter is shown above the chat.
