Ever find yourself building a site and wishing you could quickly add something more custom, like an interactive element or unique functionality, without slowing down your workflow? With Copilot built directly into the editor, you can turn ideas into fully functional widgets in real time, right where you’re working.

Generate and add context-aware widgets in seconds

To generate a custom site widget, open the +Add panel and describe what you’d like to create in the chat box. Once it’s ready, simply drag & drop it from the Add panel onto the canvas.

Each widget is shaped by your site's context, including your site theme, collections, and store setup. Everything happens within the editor, so you can keep building without breaking your flow.

Easily adjust and refine your creations

Once your widget is generated, you can tweak and perfect it to match your needs, and it’ll be saved within the site it was generated in. Keep refining it with Copilot through simple prompts, adjust its settings directly in the editor, or manage it in the widget builder workspace area.

Browse and manage your custom widgets

In the +Add panel, we added a new Custom category under Elements to give you a centralized place to manage all your custom widgets (site widget and reusable account widgets). From here, you and your team can easily view the widgets available for your site and quickly reuse them across pages.

Get started faster with prompt examples

Not sure where to begin? Use the built-in prompt ideas to kickstart your widget creation. These examples help you quickly understand how to structure your prompts, making it easier to generate exactly what you need without starting from scratch. It’s a faster, more intuitive way to turn ideas into working components.

Permissions and availability

This feature is available in all account plans for account owners, and for staff members with Copilot permissions enabled, making it easy for your team to collaborate and build more powerful, customized sites together.
