The populate template with AI feature generates text, image, and icon content based on your business information, then the content is automatically populated into existing template elements. Next, our AI generates meta tags for each page based on the generated page content.
Note that this feature does not modify page structure or layout, and no additional pages are created. Content is generated to fit the existing template elements.
Current limitations
-
Blog, store, and dynamic pages are not generated or populated with AI. After the site is created, you can use Copilot or manually update collection, store, and blog content.
-
Multilanguage templates are not yet supported.
Most common widgets are supported. If a widget is not supported the content inside of the widget will not be generated by AI. The widget can still be in the template and will not break upon content generation.
Restaurant Menu and Mega Menu are examples of widgets that are not currently supported. We are continuously adding support for more widgets, and as soon as more widgets are supported their content will be generated in your pre-existing templates.
Currently, custom widgets are not populated with AI; however, some aspects of a custom widget might be generated, such as a large heading. If you have surrounding text for the custom widget, we recommend building it directly into the site and not in the custom widget itself.
