Is there an update to the AI assistant coming? It seems a bit dated. It only goes up to GPT 5.
Also, it would be nice if you could allow users an option to enter their own endpoint for OpenAI-compatible models rather than locking it to OpenAI directly. That way we could use something cheaper than the direct OpenAI API, like Kie.ai. [offers GPT 5.4 ~60% cheaper then direct]
Edit:
You also might want to update your help documentation that you link to from the assistant question mark icon it still says things like this:
”GTP-4 is still in private beta and its access is invite only.”
Which is pretty out-of-date.
Though testing the older ones that do work, they don’t actually seem to be able to do what they should. For most things they just say done without doing anything. I set one to work into code editor and it was able to add code, but I’ve never got edit or generate to work at all.
@Norm Actually, I have gotten edit and generation to work now. They just don’t work the way that I thought they worked, or perhaps I should say the way that they would be the most helpful
They only appear to be able to literally edit text on a element or generate text on an element. But nonetheless they are entirely text-based. They don’t actually appear to have any access to tools to edit blocs or brics.
I don’t know about most other developers. But I don’t actually like AI generating text for me.
To me The ideal way to use AI in blocks would be to give it tools or access to being able to edit the properties on the blocs/brics. That way whenever you need to refactor a whole bunch of UI elements that would otherwise be incredibly click-heavy, you could just tell an AI to. Because a couple of times I’ve wanted to do it. Or times where I needed to refactor a bunch of elements on a page, and I’m like… that’s going to be an hour of repetitively editing virtually the same thing a dozen times—or a one sentence prompt.
So ideally When you had an element selected and then had an AI edit or generate on that selected, it would be able to edit the bloc/brics recursively from your selection.
And then same with generate is you would select a main element and then describe to the AI what you want and then it would lay out the boiler plate inner brics structure/properties that you could then refine.
In a lot of ways you would want generate to have access to both the blocs/brics and code editor at the same time. So option to give it full access to everything or limited it as needed to prevent drift from a task you want to be 100% one way.
Yeah the assistant is fairly limited with Blocs elements, we have lots of new features in the pipeline which we hope to share later this year that will allow AI models to have much deeper access to elements.
In the meantime I’ll get that new GPT model max token issue looked at.
