Happy New Year! At Divi Engine, we’re kicking off 2025 with fresh ideas and tools to supercharge your web design game. Today, let’s dive into a tool that’s been a game-changer for streamlining workflows: Google Chrome’s AI Assistance Panel. This tool leverages Google’s Gemini AI model to help you with styling, troubleshooting, and performance optimization—directly within your browser.

Before diving in, you’ll need to activate the AI assistance features:

Step 2: Adjust Styling Dynamically

Here’s how you can use AI assistance to tweak styles on the fly:

  1. Inspect the Element: Right-click on the element and select Inspect.
  2. Open the AI Assistance Panel:
    • Go to More Tools > AI Assistance.

  5. Review and apply the changes instantly.

Pro Tip: The tool works best with clear, specific commands. If it doesn’t behave perfectly, adjust your phrasing.

Step 3: Center Elements Vertically

Vertical alignment is a common design challenge. Here’s how to solve it with Chrome’s AI:

  1. Inspect the column or container where alignment is needed.
  2. Use the AI panel to ask, “How do I center elements in this column vertically?”
  3. Copy the CSS provided and paste it into Divi’s Theme Options or the Custom CSS tab for the module.

Note: Adding a custom class to the column can help you increase specificity if needed.

Step 4: Align a Button to the Bottom of a Column

To align the last module in a column (e.g., a button) to the bottom:

  1. Inspect the column containing the button.
  2. Use the command: “Move the button to the bottom. Provide full CSS.”
  3. Apply the generated CSS in the same way as above.

  2. Right-click an error message and select Explain with AI.
  3. Review the explanation and follow suggested solutions, such as disabling ad blockers or debugging AJAX filters.
