Introducing Elementor AI – Benefits, Use Cases, and How to Use It

The widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a fantasy. You cannot deny its importance anymore. Elementor, the leading WordPress page builder, has also integrated AI into its core feature. In fact, they are the first page-building tool online to do this.

What Elementor AI does is simplify complicated tasks without the need for extra human effort. So from now on, you can enjoy more productivity in web designing. In this article, we’ll introduce you to Elementor AI, explaining its key benefits, use cases, and how to use it.

What is Elementor AI and the Benefits

Elementor AI converges multiple AI capabilities in its native platform by which you can design, create content, and generate CSS. Previously, you had to manually explore various options to add effects like hover, moving, color, gradient, etc., to a particular element.

But with the help of Elementor AI, you can add these effects to your website in a flash. If you want to add texts, paragraphs, and titles to your posts and pages, those are also possible with Elementor AI. All you have to do is command the right prompt.

Below is the list of things you can currently create with Elementor AI:

• Generate Text
• Create and Add Custom CSS Code
• Create Code in HTML Widget
• Generate Images
• Simplify Language
• Make Text Longer and Shorter
• Fix Spelling and Grammar
• Change Language Tone
• Translate Text

In the coming days, Elementor may surprise us with more inventions.

How to Generate Text with Elementor AI

Hope you already have an idea about generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Jesper, and Scalenut. You can create long to short pieces of content for your websites using these tools. You can do the same with Elementor AI now.

• Open a post or page with Elementor. Select a widget. Go to the Content tab. You’ll find a three-star icon hovering over which ‘Write with AI‘ will appear. Click this icon.

• This will bring up a pop-up with a search box. Write your prompt in the box. You will get some prompt suggestions below, which you can use if needed. Once your prompts are ready press the Generate text button.

• We used the prompt ‘write a catchy page title for SEO services’ and got the text in the image below.

How to Create and Add Custom CSS with Elementor AI

With the previous versions of Elementor, you can add various interactive effects to web elements, like hover, rotation, floating, masking, etc. But to add advanced effects, you need to code in the custom CSS section. This is a big problem for no-code users as they have no idea how to code.

But you can overcome this shortcoming like magic with the Elementor AI. It can create custom CSS code for your widgets and elements based on your prompts.

• Select a widget/element. Go to the Advanced tab > Custom CSS on the Elementor panel. Hit the three-star icon as you did above.

• When the new pop-up appears, write your prompt in the search box. Press the Generate code button.

• You’ll see the necessary CSS code has been created. Click the Insert button.

• You’ll see your desired effect applied. If you don’t love the effect or want to modify it, open the AI pop-up and write your prompt with detailing.

• You can generate custom CSS codes and add them to your widget the same way.

How to Generate Images with Elementor

Hopefully, you already know about Midjourney, Bing, and other AI tools by which you can create prompt-based images. You can do the same with Elementor AI as well. This feature is still limited in the developer mode but will be released soon.

You can create images in Elementor from two places. The first one is using the image widget. And the second one is on the background of any widget. Take a tour of how to generate images with Elementor.

Method 01: Create and Add Images Using the Image Widget

• Drag and drop the Image widget. Click the three-star icon next to the image widget.

• A pop-up will open as before. Write your prompt in the first box. If you are weak in story writing, click the enhance icon on the bottom-right corner of the box. This will improve your seed prompt.

You can see an improvised prompt on the box. Next, change the image style and aspect ratio to the ones you like. Click the Generate images button at the end.

• You can see the images generated with the Elementor AI. Hovering your cursor on the image you like will show you the Use Image option. Clicking it, you can insert this image on your web page. Elementor AI allows you to edit slightly before inserting the image.

Method 02: Create and Add Images on the Widget Background

• This process is also very simple. Drag and drop any widget on your canvas. For example, we have added the Spacer widget to the canvas.

• Select the entire widget area by clicking the six-dotted icon. Go to the Style tab. Press the Classic icon. An image section will open after that. Click the Create with AI icon.

• The rest steps are the same as the first method. Hope you can do them yourself.

Limitations of Elementor AI

Though Elementor AI can simplify your content creation process, it also has some limitations. And this applies to any AI tool. You can get the best results from Elementor AI only when you know how to handle these limitations. Let’s take a quick look at them.

a. AI-Generated Codes May Often Have Errors

Elementor will give you pretty good results if you want to generate simple code. But in complicated cases, Elementor often generates some errors. So we strongly recommend you check the codes before implementing them and keep a backup of your pages and website for always.

b. Supports a Limited Number of Language Translation

So far, Elementor AI lets you translate your text into 25 popular languages. Although this number will increase over time, there is no guarantee that Elementor will include less popular languages.

c. Subscription Charge

Even if you are an Elementor Pro user, you must buy an AI package to access the Elementor AI. Otherwise, you’ll get only a limited free trial credit.

d. Image Weight

Using lightweight images is a must to keep any Elementor site fast and smooth. So before uploading any image, we recommend people optimize them using tinypng.com or other tools. But if you directly import AI-generated images, you don’t get the option to optimize them.

We found the Elementor AI-generated images are slightly heavy, though not much. By using any image optimization plugin, you can automatically compress the images from the backend. Read this post on how to optimize images for websites.

Price of Elementor AI

As of now, Elementor has two premium packages. They are AI Starter and AI Power. Below are their pricings and amounts of credits mentioned.

AI Starter – $2.99/month offers you 18,000 credits/year.
