    AI this, AI that. I get it. I'm so sick of people telling me to just use AI. But weirdly enough, Wix's new AI website builder really works for me. It's called Wix Harmony, and here's the thing. I get to choose how to use AI. I get everything I need to create a website, and I can either have Aria, my AI agent, design things for me, or I can edit things myself. Try it for free at wix.com/harmony.
