Duda offers several AI tools, including the AI Assistant, MCP Server, and Copilot. Following is an overview of the AI tools offered.
AI tool availability is based on your account plan and permissions.
The AI Assistant leverages Open AI to help you generate content quickly and work more efficiently. Following are the various areas of the editor where you can leverage the AI Assistant.
Note
-
To use the AI Assistant you need to have AI permissions enabled.

Setting the AI Business Profile helps the AI assistant generate unique and valuable content. If you haven't set the profile before accessing the AI assistant, you'll be prompted to do so. Once set, the AI assistant will use the profile regardless of where it's accessed from.
