When Should I Use AI Chat vs. Edit to Customize My Site?

Updated over 10 months ago

When customizing your site, it's important to know when to use AI chat for broader changes and when to use the Edit feature for more specific, precise modifications. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:

1. Use AI Chat for Larger, Conceptual Changes

AI chat is best suited for high-level, conceptual adjustments that require the AI to generate or modify multiple elements across the website based on your description. It’s ideal for broad requests where you’re asking for a change in layout, design style, or adding functionality.

When to Use AI Chat:

  • Redesigning the overall layout: If you want to change the structure of your site (e.g., making it minimalist, modern, or mobile-friendly), AI chat is great for helping with that big-picture vision.

  • Requesting a specific design style or theme: For instance, "I want a bold, vibrant design for my homepage" or "Make my site look clean and minimalist with lots of white space."

  • Adding major features: For example, asking the AI to add a blog section, a product page, or a social media feed to your site.

  • Content generation: AI chat can assist with writing content, generating placeholder text, or brainstorming ideas for your site's copy.

2. Use Edit for Precise, Targeted Modifications

The Edit feature should be used when you need to make small, targeted changes to specific elements or sections on your website. It allows you to modify individual components like text, images, buttons, or any other area you want to adjust without affecting the entire design.

When to Use Edit:

  • Adjusting text or images in specific areas: If you want to change the text on a button, update an image in the banner, or replace text in a paragraph.

  • Changing visual elements: You can edit colors, images, and elements that are already placed in specific areas (e.g., a hero section, a footer, or a call-to-action button).

  • Modifying smaller sections without impacting others: If you want to make a minor tweak, like adjusting the font size or moving a widget on the page, Edit allows you to make these adjustments without changing the overall design.
