1. What’s new
   • The Webflow MCP server now supports both Data APIs and Designer APIs, enabling AI models to access live site structure and content in real time.
   • The AI Assistant has been reimagined as a conversational partner—able to understand your design system, site structure, and assist with planning, previews, and applying approved changes.
   • Code generation capabilities are added: you’ll be able to generate production-grade web apps or components aligned with your brand via prompt.
2. AI-powered workflow enhancements
   • Suggestions in Optimize: Webflow now gives AI-driven ideas for headlines, CTAs, or copy tweaks grounded in conversion rate optimization best practices.
   • Smarter SEO tools: The Audit panel flags missing meta titles, alt text, and schema markup, plus gives actionable SEO guidance.
3. Status / Access
   • Some features like the updated AI Assistant will be available to all customers later in the year.
   • AI code generation is slated for early next year; there is a beta you can apply to for early access.
   • SEO-powered tools will roll out to all customers next month; many enhancements are already live.
4. Why it matters (Technical & UX implications)
   • By integrating AI more deeply (site structure + CMS + design system), Webflow allows higher fidelity suggestions and outputs that are more consistent with your brand, reducing the need for corrective work.
   • These updates shift several repetitive tasks (SEO audits, copy variants, optimization experiments) into AI-assisted flows, freeing up teams to focus more on creative direction.
   • The added tools will help teams iterate faster, decrease time from ideation to production, especially when generating embedded apps or complex components.
5. Best practices / Usage tips
   • Apply for beta early if you want to test code gen, to understand its limitations and edge cases in your own site.
   • Use the AI Assistant incrementally—start with smaller tasks (copy/SEO) to get comfortable with its suggestions before applying large changes.
   • Use versioning or backups when AI-powered changes are applied, so you can review and revert if required.
   • Keep your design system clean, consistent, and well defined—styles, naming conventions, and component boundaries matter more when AI interacts with them.
