If you're looking for "Wix ADI" in 2026, it doesn't exist as a separate product anymore — Wix retired it on November 10, 2024, and folded its AI site-generation capability into the main Wix Editor. What replaced it is more capable, not less: Wix Harmony, launched January 21, 2026, built around Aria, a conversational AI agent that builds and edits sites from plain-language descriptions rather than the old fixed-questionnaire flow ADI used.
What actually happened to ADI
Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence) was Wix's original AI site generator — a short, rigid, chat-style questionnaire that produced a functional starter site. Wix retired it for new sites on November 10, 2024, moving all legacy ADI projects into the standard Wix Editor so they could use newer agentic AI features instead. Sites that had been unpublished and inactive for at least six months during the transition were deleted outright, per Wix's own support documentation — a detail worth knowing if you built something on ADI years ago and haven't checked on it since.
What replaced it
Wix Harmony, announced January 21, 2026, is the current flagship: a hybrid AI website builder combining natural-language site creation with full manual drag-and-drop editing. Its core AI agent, Aria, understands the entire context of a site and can roll out changes across it from a single instruction — closer to "vibe coding" a site through conversation than ADI's rigid Q&A ever was, while still allowing pixel-level manual control when you want it.
Functionally, this means the beginner-friendly promise ADI made — describe what you want, get a working site — is still true today under Wix AI, just with a materially more capable, conversational agent behind it, plus the option to take manual control that ADI never offered.
Should you still consider Wix, or look elsewhere?
If your priority is the most complete built-in ecosystem — ecommerce, bookings, a large app store — alongside AI site generation, Wix AI via Harmony remains a strong, beginner-friendly pick, now genuinely improved over the old ADI experience. If visual design quality matters more than platform completeness, Framer AI still produces the more polished default output. If speed is the only priority — a local business site live today, nothing more — Durable is faster to a finished result than either.
FAQ
Is my old Wix ADI site still online? If it was actively published, it should have carried over into the standard Wix Editor during the November 2024 transition. If it was unpublished and inactive for six months or more during that window, Wix's own documentation confirms it may have been deleted — check directly with Wix support if you're unsure.
Is Wix Harmony the same thing as "Wix AI," or a different product? Wix Harmony is the editor experience; Aria is the AI agent inside it. Together they're what's now generally referred to as Wix's AI website builder — the direct, more capable successor to ADI.
Do I need a paid plan to use Aria and Wix Harmony? No — Harmony is built into existing Wix plans, including the free tier, at no additional cost, though features like ecommerce and custom domains still require the relevant paid plan as before.
Is switching from the old ADI-style experience to Harmony automatic? Yes for existing accounts — the Editor and Harmony/Aria features are simply available going forward. There's no separate migration step required beyond opening your site in the current editor.
