Building a WordPress website with Divi is starting to feel very different.
Instead of opening every module, changing individual settings, fixing spacing one section at a time, and repeating the same design work across a page, you can now describe what you want and let Divi AI Agent help perform the work.
But that raises an important question:
What can you actually do with Divi 5 AI Agents?
The short answer is that Divi AI Agent can help you create, edit, review, organize, and improve Divi 5 websites using normal language. It works inside the Divi 5 Visual Builder and can interact with real Divi elements rather than simply generating a block of code for you.
That makes it particularly interesting for freelancers, agencies, business owners, and anyone who spends a lot of time building Divi websites.
What Is Divi 5 AI Agent?
Divi 5 AI Agent is an AI assistant that works directly with the Divi 5 Visual Builder.
Think of it less like a traditional AI chatbot and more like an assistant that understands the website you are currently working on.
You can give it an instruction such as:
“Create a modern services section with three service cards, a heading, short introduction, and CTA button.”
The agent can then create the required Divi structure for you.
The important difference is that the result is still built using Divi elements. You can open the modules afterward, change their settings, adjust the design, or continue working manually.
Elegant Themes also provides two main ways of interacting with the agent: Ask mode and Build mode. Ask mode can be used when you want the agent to inspect something or help you understand a problem without immediately changing the page. Build mode allows it to perform supported changes.
Can Divi AI Agent Build a Page From a Prompt?
Yes.
This will probably be one of the first things many Divi users try.
You can explain the type of page you need and describe its important sections.
For example:
“Create a landing page for a digital marketing agency. Add a hero section, services, client logos, testimonials, an about section, a strong CTA, and a contact section.”
Instead of manually creating every section and module, the AI Agent can create a starting structure.
The better your instructions are, the easier it becomes for the agent to understand the result you are trying to achieve.
This doesn't mean designers are no longer needed. A generated starting point still needs your judgment about branding, messaging, visual hierarchy, conversion goals, and the overall experience.
The real benefit is speed.
You can spend less time assembling the basic structure and more time improving the final website.
Can You Build a Divi Layout From a Screenshot?
This is one of the more interesting possibilities.
Divi AI Agent can use visual references such as screenshots and mockups when you are describing the layout you want to create.
For example, imagine that your client sends you a website screenshot and says:
“I like this style, but I want something similar for my company.”
Previously, you might have studied the screenshot and manually recreated the general structure.
Now you can provide the visual reference and explain which parts of it matter.
You could say:
“Use this screenshot as inspiration for the page structure. Create a similar hero composition and section flow, but use my website's existing colors, typography, and styling.”
That last part is important.
AI should be used to speed up the creative process rather than simply copying another website.
Can Divi AI Agent Use a Website URL as a Reference?
It can also work from a live URL as a reference.
This opens up some useful workflows.
You might provide a reference page and ask the agent to study its general structure, content organization, or visual direction before creating something appropriate for your own project.
Again, there is an important difference between using a website for inspiration and cloning someone else's design.
A better prompt would be:
“Study the structure and content flow of this page. Create an original Divi layout inspired by its approach, but use our existing brand style and create a different visual design.”
That gives AI useful context without making copying the goal.
Divi AI Agent Isn’t Only for Building New Websites
This could actually be more useful than page generation.
Most web designers don't spend all their time creating brand-new websites. A large amount of work involves fixing and improving existing websites.
You may need to:
Improve a hero section.
Fix inconsistent spacing.
Reorganize modules.
Update old content.
Standardize buttons.
Improve mobile layouts.
Fix typography inconsistencies.
Clean up old design choices.
Divi AI Agent can inspect an existing page and help with these kinds of tasks.
Instead of searching through dozens of modules trying to find why one part of the page looks different, you can ask the agent to investigate the problem first.
For example:
“Review this page and identify inconsistent spacing between sections. Don't change anything yet. Tell me what you recommend.”
Once you're happy with the suggestions, you can ask it to make the changes.
That Ask first, Build second workflow can be particularly useful on important client websites.
Divi 4 to Divi 5 Workflows Could Become Easier
There is another interesting use case for people moving older websites to Divi 5.
Older Divi layouts may contain design decisions that don't make the best use of newer Divi 5 features.
For example, you may want to move parts of a layout toward Flexbox while maintaining the original spacing and appearance.
Instead of manually reviewing every row, you can ask the AI Agent to inspect the structure and help update it.
You should still test the result carefully, especially across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
AI can perform a lot of repetitive work, but responsive design still deserves human review.
Use AI Agent to Find Problems Before Publishing
One of my favorite potential uses isn't generating anything.
It's auditing.
Imagine finishing a landing page and asking:
“Review this page and tell me what looks inconsistent.”
That simple question could help identify issues you stopped noticing after working on the page for several hours.
You can also make the request more specific.
For example, ask Divi AI Agent to check:
Image alt text
Button consistency
Typography
Colors
Section spacing
Responsive behavior
Calls to action
Oversized images
Grammar and spelling
Unnecessary custom CSS
Design consistency
You could turn this into a final quality-control step before publishing every Divi website.
Divi Design Variables Become Even More Useful With AI
Divi 5 Design Variables are already useful for keeping websites consistent.
Instead of entering the same color or spacing value repeatedly, you can create reusable variables.
AI Agent can work with that system.
For example, you could tell it:
“Use our existing Design Variables for all colors and spacing. Don't introduce new colors unless necessary.”
This is important when working on a large website.
Without a design system, AI could potentially create lots of small styling differences across different pages. With clear variables, presets, and instructions, you have a much better chance of maintaining consistency.
The AI Agent can also help identify repeated values that could potentially become Design Variables.
This turns AI into more than a design generator. It can help clean up the underlying design system too.
What Are Rules in Divi AI Agent?
Rules allow you to give the agent instructions that can be reused.
Imagine repeatedly telling AI:
“Always use our existing brand colors.”
“Keep buttons consistent with our primary button style.”
“Use our existing typography variables.”
“Keep section spacing consistent.”
Repeating these instructions in every prompt isn't very efficient.
Rules give you a way to store recurring guidance about how your website should be handled.
For agencies, this could become especially useful.
You could establish a set of rules for each client website so the agent understands important design and content requirements when completing future tasks.
What Are Commands?
Commands solve a slightly different problem.
A Rule tells the agent how you want it to work.
A Command represents a task you want to repeat.
For example, imagine that before publishing a page you always want to check:
Accessibility
Responsive behavior
Heading structure
Images
Design consistency
Content quality
Instead of writing the same detailed prompt every time, you could create a reusable command for your pre-publish review.
This could become a big time saver for agencies producing many pages every month.
You might eventually have workflows for things like:
Accessibility review
Mobile optimization
SEO checks
Design consistency
Content proofreading
CTA review
Image optimization checks
This is where AI Agents start becoming particularly useful. You aren't simply asking AI random questions anymore. You're creating repeatable workflows around the way you build websites.
Can Divi AI Agent Help You Learn Divi?
Yes, and this feature shouldn't be overlooked.
Sometimes you know what you want to accomplish but don't know which Divi feature is the right choice.
For example:
“Should I use Flexbox or CSS Grid for this section?”
“Should these styles become a Preset or Design Variables?”
“Why isn't my Theme Builder template showing on this page?”
Instead of leaving the Visual Builder, searching Google, reading several tutorials, and then returning to your website, you can ask questions while working.
You can understand the solution first and then decide whether you want the agent to apply it.
For beginners, that could make learning Divi 5 much easier.
Can You Choose Different AI Models?
Another interesting part of Divi AI Agent is that you aren't necessarily locked into one AI model.
Different tasks require different levels of intelligence.
You don't necessarily need an expensive, powerful model to fix a spelling mistake.
But recreating a complicated visual layout from a screenshot may benefit from a stronger multimodal model.
Being able to choose models means users can balance three things:
Quality
Speed
Cost
For simple jobs, a faster and cheaper model may be enough.
For complex design work or multi-step tasks, using a more capable model may produce better results.
This also means Divi users should pay attention to the model they select instead of automatically choosing the most powerful option for every task.
AI Doesn’t Mean You Should Stop Using Divi Layouts
AI can generate layouts quickly, but professionally designed layouts still have an important advantage.
AI often gives you a starting point. A good pre-designed layout gives you a design direction that has already been carefully created.
For client work, you could combine both approaches.
Start with a professionally designed Divi layout and then use AI Agent to customize it for the business.
For example, you could import a ready-made Divi layout, then ask:
“Customize this page for a local accounting company. Keep the overall design, but update the content, imagery, calls to action, and relevant sections.”
This can be much faster than starting from an empty page.
For Divi Hat users, our Divi layouts can provide that professional starting point while Divi AI Agent can help speed up customization.
A Better Workflow for Agencies
Imagine an agency receives a new small-business website project.
Instead of starting completely from scratch, the workflow could look something like this:
Choose a professionally designed Divi layout.
Import it into Divi 5.
Set up the client's colors, typography, and Design Variables.
Give AI Agent the client's business information.
Ask it to adapt the existing sections to the client's services.
Review the copy and design.
Run a responsive check.
Run an accessibility and consistency review.
Make the final human adjustments.
Publish.
The AI isn't replacing the designer in this workflow.
It's removing repetitive work from the designer's day.
That distinction matters.
Should You Let Divi AI Agent Change Everything at Once?
Probably not when you're working on an important website.
Smaller tasks are generally easier to review.
Instead of saying:
“Redesign this entire website.”
Try working section by section.
For example:
“Review the hero section and suggest improvements.”
Then:
“Apply those changes without changing our existing brand variables.”
Then review the result before moving on.
This gives you more control and makes unwanted changes easier to catch.
Divi also provides ways to return to earlier states, but reviewing work in smaller stages is still a good habit.
Is Divi AI Agent Worth Using?
For people already building websites with Divi 5, AI Agent has the potential to save significant time.
Its strongest use may not be generating entire websites with one sentence.
The more interesting opportunity is using it throughout the normal web design process.
It can help you get started faster.
It can perform repetitive edits.
It can inspect existing pages.
It can help maintain your design system.
It can review pages before publishing.
It can answer Divi questions.
And it can turn frequently repeated jobs into reusable workflows.
That makes the feature useful for both beginners and experienced Divi professionals.
Will Divi AI Agent Replace Divi Designers?
I don't think that is the most useful way to look at it.
Clients still need someone to decide what the website should communicate, how visitors should move through it, what makes the business different, which information matters most, and whether the final result actually feels professional.
AI can perform tasks.
A designer still provides direction and judgment.
The people who may benefit most are designers who learn how to combine their own experience with AI-assisted workflows.
Instead of spending 30 minutes fixing the same spacing problem across a page, you may be able to describe the problem and spend that time improving something more important.
Final Thoughts
Divi 5 AI Agent represents an important change in how Divi websites can be built and maintained.
The biggest advantage isn't simply that you can type a prompt and generate something.
It's that AI now sits much closer to the actual website-building workflow.
You can ask questions, inspect a page, provide visual references, make changes, work with Design Variables and Presets, create reusable Rules, run repeated Commands, and continue editing everything through the normal Divi Visual Builder.
For Divi users, the best approach is to treat AI Agent as a capable assistant rather than an automatic replacement for the entire design process.
Give it clear instructions. Let it handle repetitive work. Review what it produces. Then add the human decisions that turn a functional page into a great website.
That combination of Divi 5, AI assistance, and professionally designed layouts could make website production considerably faster without giving up creative control.
