New Wix AI Tool Scales Content With Authenticity via @sejournal, @martinibuster

Wix announced a suite of AI tools that can automatically create topics and article outlines for blog posts that maintain quality and authenticity, helping businesses overcome an important hurdle of engaging and converting potential customers.

An Average Of 86% More Organic Traffic

An interesting insight shared by Wix is that they’ve noticed that websites with blogs on average cultivate 86% more organic traffic than sites without blogs. This new tool helps Wix users capitalize on that insight by making it easier to plan content, create the outlines for content, create a draft a new article and even create the entire article.

Publishing content at a constant pace is a key way to build an audience and increase organic traffic. A Content Plan or Content Calendar is a key way to ensure that an organization can get on track to publishing that content with the regularity necessary for successfully increasing more traffic to a site. Wix’s new tool automates the process of creating content in a flexible way that adjusts to the user’s needs.

Preserves Authenticity

Perhaps one of the most interesting feature of this tool is that users can decide how much the AI is involved in order to preserve the authenticity, creativity and insights that a human can provide by coming up with topic ideas, outlines and article drafts that can serve as a starting point. The suite of tools can even simplify the process of generating images for the articles.

Another feature of the Wix’s new tool is that the process of creating content can be automated based on existing content, products and coming events.

Wix shared the following features and benefits:

• Versatile Content Creation: From ideation to creating full posts or outlines, users have a broad selection of content creation tools depending on their needs.
• Extensive Customization: Select the outline tool for a suggestion on the structure paired with writing instructions, combining AI assistance with creative control. Users can fine-tune their content to resonate with their target audience, ensuring it meets their preferences and interests.
• Titles, Image, and SEO Optimization Tools: Users can enhance blog titles, images, and existing text with AI-driven suggestions. Additionally, users can add the keywords they want to include for SEO, and it will be incorporated throughout the content.
• Visual Content Integration: Images are included to make the blog content more visually appealing, intending to increase views and engagement. Users can describe what they want to create and choose their style and a unique image will be generated.
• Access to Wix Business Solutions: The AI blog tools are completely integrated into the Wix platform, giving users access to connect their blogs to Wix business solutions. This allows for convenient features like sending promotional emails to subscribers with a single click, linking blog content to pricing plans, and much more.

Wix announced a new Figma Plugin that enables designers to import Figma designs directly into Wix Studio and dramatically speed up site creation from the design stage to a functioning website.

Figma Design Tool

Figma enables designers, developers and other stakeholders to create, share, and test digital designs for websites (and other digital experiences). Its collaborative features streamline the back and forth of design, feedback and decision-making.

The Wix Figma Plugin allows a designer or design agency to export those designs into Wix Studio where it can then be realized into an actual functional website.

New Wix AI Image Tools Makes Image Editing Apps Virtually Obsolete via @sejournal, @martinibuster

Wix recently announced the addition of three new image editing tools to their suite of AI-based website building tools. The combination of the new AI image generation and editing tools and the AI Website Builder as part of the overall Wix website building platform provides users with virtually everything they need to easily create professional websites.

Wix users no longer have to jump between different apps or pay for third party apps to create and optimize images, everything can be done in one place with one platform.

Three New AI Image Tools

Wix introduced three new tools for image editing that enables users to essentially ditch third-party image editors because virtually everything they need for creating, optimizing and editing images is now available on the Wix platform.

The new Wix AI image tools are:

• AI Image Creator
• Object Eraser
• AI Image Editor

AI Image Creator

The AI image creator enables Wix users to create images for their websites completely from scratch. There’s no need to subscribe and pay extra to a stock images library, everything a small business needs for generating images now exists within the Wix platform. The tool works in the familiar text-to-image prompt generation mode where a user describes the image and the AI generates it. Users can create images in a variety of styles such as photo, painting, illustration, cartoons and other styles.

AI Object Eraser

This is a neat feature that can erase objects within a photograph. All a user needs to do is to highlight an object and select to remove it. That means that any publisher can easily improve an image that would otherwise not be usable, no extra technical or photo editing skills are necessary.

AI Image Editor

This is a prompt-based tool that that can edit an image to do add things to an image or change just a section of it. All a user has to do is highlight what they want the AI to change and then tell it what they want changed. For example, the AI can change the texture of a wall so that it’s wood or change a t-shirt a person’s wearing so that it’s now a casual button up shirt.

Ido Kosover, Head of Media at Wix, said:

“These AI-powered features underscore our commitment to providing users with powerful tools that simplify the website creation process while ensuring professional-quality results.”

Wix’s new AI image tools provides exceptional value to publishers because it saves them from having to purchase or subscribe to third party tools and services like photo editors and stock photo libraries. Professional images are now available to all Wix users, regardless of their technical experience.
