How to edit your website with AI

Your Artefact site is always editable. Just describe what you want changed and the AI makes it happen — no dragging, clicking, or coding required.

Available on all plans. Edit limits vary by plan.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Open your site in the dashboard

    Log in at artefact.bz/login and select your site from the dashboard. Click 'Edit site' to open the builder.

  2. 2

    Type your edit in the chat box

    Use the chat input at the bottom of the screen to describe the change you want. Be specific: 'Change the hero headline to say Free same-day appointments available' works much better than 'make it better'.

  3. 3

    Review the change in the preview

    Your site updates in real time on the right-hand side. Review how the change looks on desktop and mobile using the toggle at the top of the preview.

  4. 4

    Accept or revert

    If you're happy, click 'Accept' to keep the change. If not, click 'Revert' to go back to the previous version. You can also just type a follow-up edit — 'make that headline shorter' or 'use a different colour'.

  5. 5

    Publish your changes

    Once you're happy, click 'Publish' in the top right. Your live site updates immediately — no waiting, no build process.

Tips & best practices

  • Be specific about what you want: 'Change the services section to show three services: Cuts, Colour, and Blowout — each with a short description' is much more effective than 'update services'.
  • You can ask for structural changes: 'Remove the testimonials section', 'Add a FAQ section', 'Move the contact section above the footer'.
  • Colour changes work well with brand names or hex codes: 'Change the primary colour to #1a365d' or 'use Tiffany blue as the accent'.
  • If a change isn't quite right, keep editing. Each iteration gets closer. You don't lose previous versions — every change is reversible.

Common questions

Is there a limit on how many edits I can make?

+

The free plan includes a limited number of AI edits per month. Core and Pro plans include significantly more. Check your plan limits in dashboard settings.

Can I undo a change?

+

Yes. Every edit is reversible. If you haven't published yet, click 'Revert' to undo. If you've already published and want to go back, contact support and we can restore a previous version.

Can I manually edit text without AI?

+

Currently, all editing goes through the AI chat. This ensures your site stays structurally consistent. Type the exact text you want — 'Change the opening sentence of the About section to read: ...' — and the AI will apply it exactly.

Why did the AI change something I didn't ask it to?

+

Sometimes the AI makes minor adjustments to maintain visual coherence — for example, if you change a headline, it might slightly adjust the subheadline for consistency. These are always minor. If you want a change reverted, just ask.
