How to Build an AI Page Builder

Learn how Chris Villa integrated AI into Puck Editor to build pages with React and AI, live at Async’s web technology meetup in Brighton on 3 September 2026. ## Building web pages with React and AI This session offers a practical glimpse into the development of an AI-powered page-building experience. Chris Villa will demonstrate how he used AI within Puck Editor, enabling users to build out pages through a combination of React and AI. Rather than discussing AI for web development only in abstract terms, the talk centres on a specific implementation inside a working editor. It is an opportunity to see how an established React-based page-building project can incorporate AI and to hear directly from the person behind that integration. The session should be particularly relevant to: - Front-end and React developers exploring AI-assisted interfaces - Web technologists interested in how AI can become part of a page editor - Product builders investigating new approaches to website and page creation - Developers and makers curious about practical applications of generative AI - Members of the local digital community who want to follow changes in modern web tooling No required experience level has been stated. However, because the presentation focuses on Puck Editor, React and AI, some familiarity with contemporary web development may help attendees get the most from the technical context. ## Event details The event is organised by Async (Web Tech Meetup) and takes place on Thursday 3 September 2026, from 19:00 to 21:00. The venue is Runway East Brighton in Brighton & Hove. The announced programme is a presentation from Chris Villa giving attendees a closer look at how the AI functionality was introduced into Puck Editor. Further agenda details have not yet been published, so attendees should check the event page for updates as the date approaches. For developers weighing up how AI might fit into visual editing, page composition or React-based products, this meetup provides a focused case study grounded in an actual implementation. It also forms part of Async’s wider web technology meetup programme for the Brighton & Hove digital community. Register for this event
