New cool tools announced at Webflow Conf 2024

This is the second year I've attended the Webflow online conference, and I must say that this year's new features are even more exciting to me than those introduced last year. Webflow not only innovates but does so in a way that genuinely changes how we work with websites. In 2024, three key features particularly intrigued me: AI Assistant, Analyze, and Optimize.

AI Assistant - A tool for every creator?

Artificial Intelligence in Webflow is starting to be a real game-changer, and the AI Assistant is the flagship example. We’re dealing with a tool that not only suggests solutions but also implements them in our individual style. We can literally describe our vision, and the AI Assistant will present several options—it’s up to us which one we choose, and the assistant takes care of the rest. Moreover, the assistant can modify details in existing sections, aligning everything with our design guidelines and current brandbook styles.

For developers, it's like having an extra pair of hands that understands the specifics of the site.

Analyze: All data at your fingertips

Webflow Analyze in 2024 makes managing key user data easier. We can now track essential metrics directly in Webflow, from user locations and devices to consent management details. This feature is great for basic analytics needs and compliance with regulations like GDPR or CCPA. While it may replace external tools for simpler sites, advanced tracking and custom events will still require specialized tools like Google Analytics. However, with further development, Analyze could potentially reach the level of GA4 in the future.

For me, having basic data in one place saves time and streamlines daily tasks.

Optimize: Personalization and A/B testing with AI

Everyone knew that A/B testing is important, but Webflow Optimize takes it to a whole new level. Not only can we now personalize A/B tests for specific audiences, but AI itself learns from user behavior, optimizing sites in real-time.
The ability to choose which sections and content we want to test and the ongoing adjustment of results is a step towards more precise optimization. The AI can test up to 125 different variations, which is impressive. We no longer have to guess what works better—we have concrete data on how users respond to changes on the site.

For someone managing multiple projects, this tool speeds up decision-making and eliminates speculation. Personalization becomes more precise, and the AI not only streamlines tests but also helps optimize the site for better conversion and user experience.

Summary of the conference

The innovations Webflow is introducing in 2024 are powerful tools for designers, marketers, and developers. With AI Assistant, Analyze, and Optimize, Webflow is becoming a more complete platform that offers not only flexibility in design but also intelligent data management and site optimization. I personally can’t wait to see how these changes will impact the way we create and manage client sites in the coming months.
