What you need
- Elementor, up to date, with Containers enabled.
- An Elementor account connection. In-editor AI uses credits from an Elementor One plan.
- Elementor Pro if the generated layout uses Pro widgets.
- For Angie: the free Angie plugin and WordPress 6.9 or newer.
Generate a section with Elementor AI
- Open a page in the Elementor editor and add an empty container.
- Click the AI icon inside the empty container. The first time, tick the terms checkbox and click Accept.
- Describe the section: layout, style, colours, widgets and purpose. Type / for suggested prompts, or click the enhance-prompt icon to improve your wording (free, no credits).
- Click Generate. Elementor AI shows three wireframe variations.
- Pick one and click Use Layout. Click Regenerate for three new options, or the pencil icon to edit your prompt.
Variations aren't saved. Generating again replaces the previous set, so pick before you regenerate.
Generate from an existing page
Elementor AI can also create containers based on another web page's URL, which is useful for rebuilding an old site's sections. It only works with traditional websites, and regenerating costs extra credits.
Build a full page with Angie
- Go to Plugins > Add New, search for Angie and install and activate it, then log in with your Elementor account.
- Open the Angie panel in wp-admin and ask it to create a page, describing the purpose, sections and style.
- Open the result in the Elementor editor to fine-tune it.
