This will help users to effortlessly craft professional and fully customizable applications. By leveraging AI technology, it transforms the way business apps for iOS and Android could be designed and altered.

In May 2024, WIX introduced three new AI-based image enhancement and creation tools to assist users in improving, customizing and personalizing visual content for their websites. These tools include the AI Image Creator, Object Eraser and AI Image Editor.

Its portfolio of AI offerings also includes AI Portfolio Creator, a groundbreaking tool that leverages the power of AI to aid users in crafting and showcasing an online professional portfolio.

In August 2023 the company unveiled Wix Studio, which allows users to leverage the latest AI technology and develop advanced websites at scale. In the last reported quarter, management noted that over one million Studio accounts have been created by agencies and designers since the roll out of WIX Studio. Also, the rapid conversion of these new accounts has led to more than expected Studio premium subscriptions.

Owing to the accelerating adoption of AI product offerings as well as WIX Studio, management raised outlook for bookings, revenues and free cash flow for 2024.
