Studio Editor: Using the AI Assistant to Add Custom Code
Currently, this feature is in alpha mode.
Add custom code behaviors to elements, without any coding experience, using our AI assistant. Whether you're enhancing interactivity or creating tailored experiences, AI makes it simple. Focus on your creative vision while the assistant handles the technical coding, offering suggestions or implementing your own ideas.
How can I access the AI assistant?
There are 2 ways you can access the AI assistant for help with custom code – directly through the Code panel, or by selecting an element on the canvas. .
On the canvas: Right-click the element you want to customize and select Add Custom Behavior with AI.
Through the Code panel: Access the Code
panel on the left side of the editor and select AI Assistant.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more.
Are there customizations that are not supported?
While the AI assistant can perform many actions on various elements, Wix apps and other third-party apps have certain limitations.
If the assistant is unable to help with a certain action, it will let you know and suggest some alternative actions as well.
The AI assistant gave me a list of element IDs (e.g. 'box 3', 'section1') - how do I find these?
When chatting to the AI assistant, it may give you suggestions for elements on the page it can customize. Each element has a unique ID identifying it in the code.
When dev mode is enabled, you can see element IDs when selecting the relevant element on the canvas, or in the Layers panel.
On the canvas: When selecting an element, the element ID appears on the blue label, right next to the element name. In the example below, the text element's ID is 'text7'.
In the Layers panel: Open this panel to get an overview of all of the elements on the page and their IDs. Make sure the Display IDs toggle is enabled.
