How to Use AI With Your Squarespace Website

9/13/2026 • Nikita Jerschow

You have a Squarespace site, you've seen what AI can do, and you're wondering: can I just have AI update my website for me?

Honest answer: inside Squarespace, only partially. Squarespace is a closed platform - there's no way for an outside AI to open your site, restyle a section, or rearrange a page. What you can do inside Squarespace, and what needs a different foundation, breaks down like this.

What AI Can Do for Your Squarespace Site Today

• Write and rewrite your copy. Paste any page into ChatGPT or Claude and ask for tighter, clearer, more on-brand text - then paste it back. This is the highest-value AI move available to you, and it works with any website platform.
• Draft new pages and posts. Outlines, service descriptions, FAQs, blog posts. AI drafts, you edit, Squarespace hosts.
• Squarespace's own AI features. Squarespace has built-in AI for generating text sections and starting layouts. It's fine for a first draft - but it only rearranges Squarespace's own blocks, inside Squarespace's own templates.

What AI Can't Do Inside Squarespace

• Redesign your site to match something you saw and loved.
• Make sitewide visual changes ("make the whole site feel more premium").
• Update your design on your behalf, on a schedule or from a prompt.

None of that is a missing feature you can enable. The design simply isn't accessible to outside tools - it belongs to the template system.

The Setup Where AI Actually Gets Control

For AI to genuinely work on your website, the website has to live in a format AI (and you) can fully see and edit. That's the idea behind Figment:

1. Your site becomes a design file in Figma - every page, visible on one canvas, editable by dragging things around. No code.
2. Figment publishes that design as your live website. Edit the design, hit publish, the site updates.
3. AI works on the design layer. Because the whole site is an open canvas rather than a locked template, AI tools can draft sections, restyle pages, and propose full layouts you can accept or tweak - and Figment is building this in as a first-class AI website builder experience.

The migration is more straightforward than it sounds: save your copy and images, rebuild the layout in Figma (screenshots of your current site make this fast), publish with the Figment plugin, and point your domain at the result. We wrote a full walkthrough here: How to Migrate from Squarespace to Figment.

The Bottom Line

• Want AI-written content on Squarespace? You can have that today - copy and paste.
• Want AI to actually build and update your website? That needs a platform where the design is open. Move the site to Figment, and AI gets a canvas it can genuinely work on - with you approving every change.
