Microsoft wants to take the pain out of designing web pages. AI is its solution.<\/p>\n

$\"Read$ <\/a>Today marks the launch of Copilot in Power Pages in preview for U.S. customers, an AI-powered assistant for Microsoft\u2019s low-code business website creation tool, Power Pages. Given prompts, Copilot can generate text, forms, chatbots and web page layouts as well as create and edit image and site design themes.<\/p>\n

To create a form, for example, users can simply describe the kind of form that they need and Copilot will build it and auto-generate the necessary back-end database tables. Those tables can then be edited, added to or removed using natural language within Copilot.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the maker, you describe what you need in natural language and use Copilot suggestions to design web pages, create content and build complex business data forms for your website,\u201d Sangya Singh, VP of Power Pages at Microsoft, told TechCrunch in an email interview. \u201cYou no longer need to start from a blank slate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Generating a website with AI isn\u2019t exactly a novel idea \u2014 not in this day and age, at least. Tools like Jasper<\/a> can handle copy, images, layouts and more, while generators like Mixo can create basic splash pages when given a short description.<\/p>\n

But Singh paints Copilot in Power Pages as more versatile than the competing solutions out there, while stressing that it\u2019s not a tool that could \u2014 or should \u2014 be used to generate whole spam sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cPower Pages now allows you to go from no code (describing the site via natural language) to low code (editing the website design and layouts using the design studio) to pro code (building advanced customization with familiar web frameworks) seamlessly,\u201d she said. \u201cFor Power<\/span>\u00a0Pages, crafting Copilot experiences within\u00a0Power<\/span> Pages is revolutionary because enabling an AI assistant to build business data-centric sites using natural language has not been done before.\u201d<\/u><\/p>\n

Of course, depending on the domain and use case, adding generative AI to the mix can be a risky proposition. Even if it\u2019s not the original intent, AI can be prompted to generate toxic content. And it can go off the rails if not closely monitored.<\/p>\n

Singh claims that Copilot in Power Pages, though, which is powered by OpenAI\u2019s GPT-3.5 model<\/a>, has \u201cguardrails\u201d to protect against issues that might crop up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take the website maker\u2019s user prompts to the Copilot, get suggestions from the large language model, and do a lot of processing, like offensive content filtering, before displaying suggestions back to the maker,\u201d Singh said. \u201cIf Copilot\u2019s suggestions are irrelevant or inappropriate, makers can easily report the AI generated output via a thumbs-down gesture in our experience and provide additional feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n

What about the aforementioned chatbot, also powered by GPT-3.5, that Power Pages users can now insert into their websites? According to Singh, it\u2019s similarly built with safeguards, including a whitelist of URLs that it\u2019ll look through to get answers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key thing to note is that Power<\/span> Pages Copilot is not an \u2018automatic\u2019 AI-pilot generating websites, but an \u2018AI assistant\u2019 to a human website maker \u2014 hence the name Copilot \u2014 where the maker can ask for suggestions on how to build different components of a business data-centric site,\u201d she added. \u201cGiving the makers \u2018total control\u2019 is a principle we have where the maker is always in control if they want to apply the Copilot suggestion or tweak it further or discard it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
