AI & automation

Build with a chat inside the app, or let an assistant on your device manage projects, files, remote sites and the preview through HTML Designer.

AI Chat

AI Chat lives in the panel under the editor (Window ▸ AI Chat, Ctrl+1), and Window ▸ Chat (Ctrl+8) opens it as a palette. With a project folder open, the assistant can create and update files — HTML, CSS, JavaScript and SVG — right in the folder, or asks a question when something is unclear. Type "add a pricing section with three plans" or "make the nav sticky and responsive" and review the result in the live preview.

Choose the model

File ▸ Settings… ▸ AI — choose an available assistant and model:

Built-in validation checks the document and reports issues before you publish, so you can ask the assistant to fix exactly what the validator found.

Turn local automation on

  1. Install HTML Designer from Google Play and open it.
  2. Open File ▸ Settings… ▸ Automation and turn on Allow Local Automation. It is off by default: turn it on only while you are using such an assistant.
  3. Keep HTML Designer open: the assistant acts on its windows, projects and documents. When the app is closed or automation is off, the assistant cannot change anything.

Android App Functions

On Android there is no server to install and no network port: the app's 57 commands are offered to the system as App Functions. Nothing listens on the network, and only apps the system allows to call App Functions, such as the device assistant, can reach them. App Functions need Android 16 or later; on older versions the commands are not offered. The assistant you use may use cloud services, and remote-file actions use your hosting connection.

What the assistant can do

Once allowed, the assistant can open and manage your projects, read and write project files, find and replace text across a project, reindent and validate documents, start and stop the preview, and work with your saved hosting connections and remote files. Review its changes in the editor and preview before saving or publishing.
