Introduced as “the first-ever artificial intelligence that designs a stunning site for you”, Wix ADI is precisely that: it’s an Artificial Intelligence-powered tool that understands your needs and helps you create fully functional and great-looking websites within minutes. Websites created with Wix ADI are customizable, mobile-friendly can be optimized for the search engines and can be used for a large number purposes, including online stores, restaurants, online bookings, music, etc.

Mobile Optimization

As internet browsing is done increasingly from mobile devices, Wix ADI comes with a default mobile version of your site. You can preview the way your site looks when accessed from a mobile device from the ADI Editor. The preview button is located on the right side of the top bar. If you want to make changes to the mobile version, you will have to head to the Editor.

However, if for any reason, you prefer not to have a mobile version and you want to disable this feature, you will have to switch to Wix Editor. Be warned though: from this point on, you can no longer come back to edit your site with Wix ADI.

SEO Tools & Marketing

Managing the on-site optimization with Wix ADI is fairly easy. You can edit the pages’ titles as well as the other meta elements in the ADI Editor. The URL of the page is created automatically using the page’s title. You also have the option of editing the headings and adding alt text to your images. If you decide you don’t want your website to be visible in search, you can also hide it from search engines with easy configuration. However, connecting the site to Google Analytics is available only for Premium Wix ADI users.

Social Media Tools

With social media being such a big part of a website and business’s success nowadays, it is important to choose a website editor that allows you to connect your site with your social media accounts. Wix ADI includes a wide range of such options, making it easy for you add links and buttons to a number of platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Google Plus, YouTube, Blogger, Flickr, Houzz, Myspace, SoundCloud, Tumblr, Vimeo, VK, Odnoklassniki, Google Places, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and more.

ECommerce

The online world has become for many businesses not only an important promotion channel, but also a way to expand their sales, to reach markets they could not reach before, and target more customers. Therefore, the option to add an e-commerce feature to a website is utterly important. Wix ADI helps you create an online store with fully customized product pages and optimized thank-you pages within minutes. Editing your product pages, adding new products, and improving product galleries is easy to do within the ADI Editor.

Apps and Plug-ins

Although the Wix App Market contains a wide range of apps made to serve different purposes, currently it is possible to add only a small number of apps inside ADI. However, Wix is bound to improve in this sense in the near future.

Probably the most notable thing to mention about designing a website with Wix ADI is the fact that you can have a completely unique website within minutes. Upon understanding your needs, the AI algorithm makes an educated decision from thousands of templates available in the Wix database. The quality of the designs is impressive.

The most notable drawback here is that the text copy you get is a standard one, but you have the option to customize it per your needs and preferences. You can switch between site templates easily, keeping your site’s content and history. However, some of the customization options are only available by switching to Wix Editor. Once you’ve made this switch, you cannot go back to Wix ADI without losing the recently made changes.

Wix has a Knowledge Center that includes many useful articles about Wix ADI, domains, technical difficulties, marketing, and more. Trending Topics act similarly to FAQs by showing you what most people are curious about. There is no phone number or live chat option to get in touch with Wix directly but you do get priority response if you open a ticket when you have a VIP plan.
