What The AI Editor Can And Cannot Do
The AI editor builds and edits static websites from plain-language requests - it writes HTML, CSS and JavaScript, adds pages, generates images and adds working contact forms. It cannot add server-side code like PHP or databases, and nothing it does goes live until you press Publish.
Updated
The AI editor edits one website from plain-language requests - you describe what you want ("add a pricing section", "make it feel warmer", "build me a bakery site") and it makes the change. Open it from your website's menu under Code Editor; it opens full screen with the chat beside a Preview tab and a Code tab, where you can also edit the files by hand yourself.
Nothing the AI does is live until you press Publish. Its changes go into a working copy you can preview first. Save Draft stores a checkpoint, and Session History (the clock icon in the top bar) lets you view and restore any earlier state from the session.
What It Can Do
- Build a complete website from a description, or redesign an existing one.
- Edit your HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, create new files, and add pages linked from your navigation.
- Generate real photographic images - up to 8 per message, saved permanently to your website's media library. It can also use images you upload, like your own logo or photos.
- Add a working contact form using the built-in OxyPages form endpoint. One step stays yours: add a free captcha key on the website's Forms page, or submissions are rejected.
- Answer questions about your site without changing anything.
Each message costs 1 AI credit (2 on very large websites) - see How AI Credits Work.
What It Cannot Do
- No server-side code. OxyPages hosts static websites, so the AI cannot add PHP, databases, WordPress or anything that runs on a server. Anything that runs in the browser works.
- It cannot see the rendered page. It works from your files, not a screenshot. If a change looks wrong, tell it what you see and it will hunt down the real cause.
- It only edits web file types - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, SVG, text and similar. It also never deletes your homepage file, index.html.
- Very large requests can take more than one message. The AI makes at most 30 file changes per message; if work remains it says so - reply "continue" for the rest.
- The preview has limits. The Preview tab runs your site in a sandbox, so features that need cookies, localStorage or pop-ups only work on the published site. Form submissions also only work on the published site.
