Separately, the Webstudio team has launched [Inception](/university/inception.md) — a **standalone product** designed specifically for creative design exploration, powered by a much more advanced AI foundation. Inception is **not** a new version of Webstudio AI and **not** a replacement for it. Webstudio AI was an experimental open-source project; Inception is a completely independent tool with a different purpose and workflow. *** ### ❗ Important clarification: Inception is *not* the replacement for the builder’s AI Some users assumed that Inception replaced the AI inside the Webstudio builder — but that’s not the case. We removed the old builder AI because it was outdated, low-usage, and no longer delivering value. It wasn’t removed to make room for Inception, and the two products are unrelated. A **new AI system for the builder** will be introduced in the future, but it is being rebuilt from the ground up and will be integrated directly into the builder itself. *** ### ❓ Is Inception included in existing plans? **Short answer: No — Inception is not included in any existing plan.** This applies to lifetime deals, monthly subscriptions, and all previous purchases. Inception is its own product, with its own pricing, because it uses the most advanced models available today — models that are significantly more expensive to run than the older generation. *** ### 🧠 What happened to the old AI assistant in the builder? The previous AI assistant (originally released in 2023 using GPT-4) no longer made sense to maintain: * it was barely used * it didn’t reflect the capabilities of today’s AI * modern agentic, reasoning-capable models require an entirely new architecture Rather than keeping outdated AI code alive, we’re **rewriting the entire AI layer** for the builder. The upcoming version will: * support **multiple AI models** * include at least one **free or very low-cost option** * offer access to advanced models like **Claude** when needed * introduce a **chat interface** directly in the builder, enabling visual actions and more ## Related * [Inception](/university/inception.md) – Explore Webstudio's standalone AI design exploration app * [Expression editor](/university/foundations/expression-editor.md) – Write expressions and logic in Webstudio * [Data variables](/university/foundations/variables.md) – Work with dynamic data and resources * [CMS](/university/foundations/cms.md) – Manage content with Webstudio's built-in CMS * [Roadmap & Links](/basics/roadmap-and-links.md) – See what features are coming next --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.webstudio.is/university/webstudio-ai.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
