What the Divi AI Agent Can Do in Divi 5

Learn how to browse everything the Divi AI Agent can do, use its tool catalog, and read what each risk badge means.

The Divi AI Agent ships with more than 190 purpose-built tools for Divi and WordPress - far too many to memorize, and too many to reasonably list one by one in an article.

This is the map instead: the broad categories of work the Agent can do, how to browse its full tool catalog when you want to see the actual list, and what its risk badges mean before you approve anything. If you're after ready-made requests to try, this collection also has a prompt library.

Browsing the Tool Catalog

Divi 5 - Tool Catalog

Every tool the Agent can use is listed in the Tools catalog AI Agent Tools Catalog.

  1. Open an AI Chat window by clicking on the AI iconDivi 5 AI Agentin the left sidebar.

  2. Click the Tools icon AI Agent Tools Catalog to open the tools catalog.

Inside, you'll find:

  • A search box (placeholder text "Search tools...") that filters the list as you type, matching against each tool's name and description.

  • A risk filter that narrows the list to one risk level at a time.

  • Two groups:

    • Agent (the tools available in Build mode's full planning-and-execution flow)

    • and Ask (the smaller, read-only set available in Ask mode, limited to searching and reading Divi's documentation). Each group shows how many tools it currently contains.

Each entry in the list shows the tool's name, a plain-language description of what it does, and its risk badge.

What the Risk Badges Mean

Every tool in the Tools catalog carries one of three risk badges. Hover a badge to see its tooltip, quoted here exactly as it appears:

Badge

Tooltip

Safe

Safe actions do not require confirmation

Moderate

Moderate actions require confirmation when configured

Destructive

Destructive actions require confirmation before execution

Destructive tools always pause and ask you to approve them before they run.

Moderate only pauses when the individual tool's own definition calls for it, and which Moderate tools do that isn't something you can turn on or off anywhere in Divi - it's built into the tool, not a setting you control. Check this [Name of article] to learn more about the approve mode.

Adding a Tool as Context

Divi 5 - Adding a Tool as Context

If you want the Agent to use a specific approach rather than deciding for itself, you can pin an individual tool into the conversation.

  1. Open the Tools catalog.

  2. Find the tools you want to use.

  3. Click on the @ symbol to add the selected rule to the context window.

What the Agent Can Do

The Agent's tools fall into about a dozen broad categories. None of these lists are exhaustive - each is a sample of what the category covers.

Page structure and modules

The largest category. The Agent can read your page's full hierarchy of sections, rows, columns, and modules, then add, edit, move, clone, or remove any of them.

  • Get the complete page hierarchy of sections, rows, columns, and modules

  • Clone an existing module, or lock one so it can't be edited by accident

  • Search modules by their content, or find repeated styles worth turning into a preset

  • Add interactions between modules - for example, having one module's hover or click affect another

Presets

The Agent can work with Presets the same way you would by hand.

  • Create a preset from a module's current styles

  • Save pending preset changes

  • Clone or delete a preset

  • Assign a preset as the default applied to new modules of that type

Global variables and colors

The Agent can read and manage Global Variables, including the global color palette.

  • Create, update, or delete a global variable

  • Set a global variable's value everywhere it's used at once

  • Add one or more global colors to your palette

Layout generation

Rather than adding elements one at a time, the Agent can generate a whole structure from a description.

  • Generate a page, section, row, or column layout from a plain-language brief

  • Apply a premade Flex or CSS Grid structure template to existing elements

Images and media

The Agent can generate, find, and evaluate images, building on the same concepts covered in Aspect Ratio, Image Framing, and Image Presets.

  • Generate custom AI imagery and import it straight into your Media Library

  • Fetch stock images from Unsplash

  • Analyze what's actually in an image you've attached

  • Compare your current design against a reference image

  • Search your existing Media Library for something you've already uploaded

Loops and dynamic content

The Agent can set up Loop Builder and Dynamic Content the way you would by hand.

  • Enable or disable a loop on a module

  • Configure a loop's content source and result order, and set filters on it

  • Build Dynamic Content tokens from a variable definition

  • List the Dynamic Content options available for the current post

Canvases, workspaces and the builder interface

The Agent can drive the builder interface itself, not just the content on your page - including Canvases and Workspaces.

  • Create, duplicate, or delete a canvas

  • Switch or duplicate a workspace

  • Change the canvas zoom level, or switch breakpoint or Wireframe view

  • Set the interface to light or dark mode

Pages and posts

Beyond a single page's content, the Agent can work at the site level with pages, posts, and custom post types.

  • Create a WordPress page, post, or custom post type item

  • Search existing pages, posts, or custom post type items

  • Change a page or post's publication status

  • Update a page's content or settings directly

Menus

  • Create a WordPress navigation menu by name

  • Assign a menu to a theme location

  • Reorder items within a menu, or add and remove items

Theme Builder and Theme Options

The Agent can work with Theme Builder templates and Theme Options directly.

  • Create a Theme Builder template

  • Set a template's display conditions - which pages it applies to

  • Read your site-wide Theme Options

  • Update an individual Theme Option

Divi Library

  • Save a module, row, or section to the Divi Library

  • List your saved library items, filtered by type or name

  • Replace the current page with a saved library layout

Documentation and troubleshooting

  • Search Divi's product documentation for an answer

  • Retrieve the full text of a specific documentation article or knowledge article by name

Agent configuration

The Agent can manage its own standing configuration - the Rules and Commands covered in earlier articles in this collection - as well as your responsive breakpoints.

  • Create or update an AI rule or an AI command

  • Update your responsive breakpoint settings

How the Agent organizes its own work

A last category that isn't about your page at all - it's how the Agent manages a request behind the scenes.

  • Keep a running to-do list of the steps it has planned and completed for your request

  • Run up to ten independent sub-agent tasks at once and combine their results

  • Ask you a clarifying question when it's missing information it needs to continue

  • Request additional tools if the ones already available can't finish the job

  • List its previous build activity from earlier in the same chat

Where the Agent Stops

The Agent is broad, but it isn't unlimited. A few honest boundaries worth knowing before you rely on it:

  • Site-level requests are narrower than in-builder requests. Working from inside the Visual Builder gives the Agent its full range described above; requests made from outside the builder draw on a smaller set of the same abilities.

  • It builds toward a reference, not a pixel-perfect copy of one. When you hand it a reference image to match, it compares its work against that image and aims for a similar design using real Divi sections, rows, and modules - not an exact recreation down to the pixel.

  • It doesn't connect to outside tools through MCP. Support for the Model Context Protocol, which would let the Agent call external services beyond Divi and WordPress, hasn't shipped yet.
