I desire a proactive, conversational AI ‘front desk’ assistant—not just trained on information, but dedicated to guiding people through the many things we’ve built on our websites. It should quickly assess each person’s needs, follow or expand on scripts we provide, and then share tailored links to the services that fit best. I have many courses, webinars, products, and services designed for different emotional needs and life situations. My goal is to load the assistant with all of our offerings—descriptions, tags, and links—so that after a short, heartfelt conversation with a visitor, it can recommend the right next steps like a real, caring human.

Hi @Max

I would give the photo widget an AI feature.
Well, what should it do? That depends on which AI model is used.
I would choose one with AI face swapping technology.
I would fill the photo gallery with the before images. The user can upload their own, and the AI ​​does the rest. A download function for the after image wouldn’t be absolutely necessary for me, but sending the generated image to the admin would be.
Details can be discussed.

I’d like to see Ai added to the Slider, Banner & Social Feed widgets.

A user could type a quick description of their desired content along with simple inputs you’d have included for goal, audience and style. The Ai would then generate complete creative.

Slider Example:

User enters desired # of slides or could be say 6 slides max - Ai would produce finished slides with headlines, subtext, images and call-to-action button and the user could select whichever slides to add to final slider along with CTA.

Banner Example:

The Ai would ask user to enter the # of variations or the widget could have a max # per output and the user would select the banner designs they prefer and it would populate inside the widget then user would select final banner and connect it to a CTA.

Post Feed Example:

Could also be a powerful social media assistant allowing for immediate or scheduled posts straight inside of the chosen social channel or a toggle to create posts for each of the social channels connected to the widget for quick upload to each channel.

AI-Powered Interactive Language & Content Assistant for Widgets

Concept
Integrate a smart AI assistant into Elfsight widgets (especially audio players, sliders, banners, and social feeds) that help users create, consume, and interact with content effortlessly. Key features include:

  • For Audio & Text Widgets:

    • AI text-to-speech conversion with multiple voice styles and accents (e.g. native Samoan speaker voice option).

    • Accessibility-focused: helps visually impaired or non-readers by reading content aloud automatically or on demand.

    • Podcast-style playback with smart pause, rewind, and highlight features.

  • For Visual Content Widgets (Photo, Slider, Banner):

    • AI-driven creative generation based on simple user inputs (theme, audience, goals).

    • Face swapping or image enhancement options for personalised visual storytelling.

    • Auto-generation of multiple slide/banner variations with selectable CTAs for rapid campaign creation.

  • For Social Feed Widgets:

    • AI-powered social media assistant that crafts posts based on user prompts, schedules posts across channels, and optimises timing for maximum engagement.

    • Enables users to maintain active, relevant social feeds with minimal effort.

Use Case
This AI assistant transforms static widgets into dynamic, interactive content hubs that empower users to create, consume, and share high-quality content with ease, perfect for entrepreneurs, educators, and community builders.

I would like to see an AI feature that creates a spinning 3D boat, car, person or any other type of object that can be created into a 3D model by simply uploading 4-10 photos of desired object.

I suggest this feature in AI :slight_smile:
When user wants to add a widget for payment , I like the AI to get all payment methods related to user email registered at his account . When user chooses certain payment method , I suggest AI to get all fees and charges to user for each payment to let him/her decide which widget will be used

A smart widget assistant that adjusts to what visitors are doing on the site. For example, it could shorten long reviews into highlights, show the right banner offer at the right time, skip form questions that don’t apply, or suggest helpful prompts in chat. Instead of static tools, your widgets would feel like they’re paying attention and making the experience smoother.

AI Voicebot for the Chatbot Widget
Turn the Elfsight AI Chatbot into a full voice-enabled assistant. Visitors can talk instead of typing, and businesses can even connect it to a phone line as a 24/7 service or booking hotline. This way, one widget powers both website chat and voice/phone support, making AI support more natural, accessible, and practical.

RANDOM BANNER GENERATOR
how it should work:
you describe what you want for background and AI will create the images
using 6 cells for the desired width and 3 cells for the desired height
you choose 3 random texts that will appear in the desired cells (they can be created by you or AI)

With this widget you will be abble to:

  1. create multiple images for the background using AI
  2. create multiple texts for each image using AI
  3. you will have stunning banners that you can control to show randomly and stay, or become like a slideshow in random order

You can specify the level of opacity or how blurry you want the image to be, or even add a specific color overlay. You can also select the font type, size, and color. One of the most important features is that when creating the image, the software will automatically determine which areas to use for the text, preventing any color clashes or visual inconsistencies, ensuring that your banners always look perfect.

Elfsight AI Event Calendar Generator

  1. Generate events with a description.

Explanation: Let businesses generate 1-100s of events instantly, whether they want new & unique events or only need to find a format.

Concept Image I made (Read Text in Image):

Example: An owner of a Bar wants to get more business coming in so they think of hosting events at their location but they’re super busy to be creative so they use Elfsight’s AI Event Calendar Generator and they write: “I am a owner of a bar where people drink & eat generate me 2 events I can do that is related or creates traction to my business. My Address: *1234 St NY* Host: Peter Parker, Colors Grey & Red, Business Name: TAOI’S BAR. Time: 5pm to 8pm”. *Result Below*

Elfsight AI Example Result Concept:

2. Generate events with a URL link

Explanation: After seeing the AI Chatbot’s ability to learn from a URL Link, I saw this feature’s potential to generate events for a calendar.

Example: Let’s say you have a business partner & in a new partnership agreement, you will help host events with their company, share revenue, responsibilities, management, etc. Seeing that they have a calendar on their website, you should also show the events on your website, now that you are partners. So you find Elfsight’s Event Calendar Widget, but you’re not experienced with Elfsight’s widgets or how the dashboard works, but then you see an AI Feature, and all you have to do is give the AI a link, and it will generate events? They’ll join Elfsight immediately!

Another Concept Image I Made (Read Text in Image):

Why Should Event Calendar Have An AI Feature?

Explanation: After researching Elfsight’s AI-Powered Widgets, such as Forms, Popups, Blogs, reviews (AI-Summary), and AI Chatbot, I asked myself which widget naturally deserves an AI upgrade. Using the “not-far-fetched” rule (as @Max suggested), I checked Elfsight’s Best Sellers, and the answer was clear: the Event Calendar. It’s a perfect fit for an AI-Powered feature, because calendars require frequent, ongoing updates that AI could simplify and speed up.

Also, when researching, I understood Elfsight’s AI works with the widgets settings, such as a Form Builder, it uses the fields format in the system to create new ones. Elfsight’s AI isn’t meant to create some new settings, it simplifies and organizes content faster and easier for customers, so to me Event Calendar is the perfect fit for an AI Feature.

Image Displaying Best Sellers AI Potential Research:

In Conclusion:

Event Calendar is one of Elfsight’s Best Sellers for a reason: unlike an AI chatbot, blog, or form, an Event Calendar must be updated continuously for as long as a business hosts events. Other widgets (like restaurant menus or blogs) are updated occasionally by choice, but customers who choose the Event Calendar are likely committing to running events for years, and they need the fastest, simplest ways to add, edit, and promote those events, which makes an AI-powered Event Calendar feature not just convenient, but transformational.

So that is why I strongly believe that an Elfsight AI Event Calendar Generator Feature should be made!

Note: This is my first time entering a contest, I’ve seen other contents but I felt like it was a gamble and don’t think I have a chance at winning so I didn’t bother, but this one really stuck out to me because I feel like the community has a lot of awesome ideas and concepts so we are more willing to try and come up with the best ideas! I hope you guys make more like this @Helga @Max @Andrei , it was pretty fun for me to research this topic. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: (Also, if this feature is realistic enough, can it be put into consideration/put to gather feedback?)

Proposed Feature: Human Escalation via SMS Integration

After the chatbot’s initial interaction, it can ask:
“Would you like more help from a live support rep?”

  • If the user selects this option, the system sends an SMS notification to the assigned support rep.
  • The rep can reply directly from their phone, with personal details such as their cell number kept private.
  • The chat UI clearly signals the switch from AI responses to human replies—for example, by displaying the rep’s display name (e.g., “Joe is now assisting you”) along with visual badges or color cues.
  • In addition to the prompt, a permanent quick-link option can appear at the bottom of the chat UI box, so the user always has a visible way to request human assistance.

If no rep responds within a set time, the chatbot informs the user that live support is unavailable.

Admin Controls:

  • In the chatbot control panel, admins can set each rep’s cell number, configurable display name, working hours, and “Do Not Disturb” hours.
  • Primary and backup SMS numbers can be reordered easily, with the chosen display names (e.g., “Joe,” “Maria”) shown to users in the chat interface and in transcripts.
  • During DND hours, the system automatically skips that rep and tries the next available contact. If no reps are available within the schedule, the live support option is hidden from the user.

Transcript Handling:

  • A full transcript—including both chatbot and SMS-based human replies—is emailed as usual.
  • If a rep doesn’t respond, the transcript notes the attempt (e.g., “Tried Joe on Oct 1, 3:03 PM—no response”).

Note: This feature is intended to mirror solutions like Podium.com, which provide live texting support through a chat interface similar to the Elfsight chatbot, while protecting rep privacy.

I would like an AI chatbot to be a central desk which can act like a receptionist, search everything on the website from documents, timings, images, blogs, and videos. And if anything is not found, it’ll ask the people if it can connect to WhatsApp or on a call. It should be able to take voice and image inputs and should be able to give voice outputs.

I’m personally a huge fan of the Google Review Widget, and it would be amazing to make it even more powerful with AI integration. When people leave a review, AI could automatically generate responses, potentially using snippets or templates to ensure the replies are crafted in the right tone and style and are ready to go. Of course, there should be an option for review and approval, so I could receive an email or notification via AI letting me know that new reviews are ready along with the suggested responses, which I can then finalize and post.

That seems like a fantastic enhancement to this already amazing Google Review Widget.

Exciting :fire::wrapped_gift:
