How ShortPoint AI Designer Works?
Ready to build something great? Here's how easy it is to create a stunning intranet page with this AI intranet platform.
Step 1: Edit the ShortPoint Web Part
Navigate to the SharePoint page you want to work on and open the ShortPoint web part for editing. That's your starting line.
Step 2: Open AI Designer in Page Builder
When you open ShortPoint Page Builder, you'll notice a shiny new option sitting alongside "Choose Layout" and "Start with Template". This new option is the ShortPoint AI Designer. Simply select it to open the conversation panel and meet your new favorite coworker.
Step 3: Tell the AI What You Need
Here's where it gets fun. You've got four ways to communicate your design vision:
Option 1: Type a Prompt
Describe what you want in plain, everyday language. Something like:
“Create a Welcome Message banner with a personalized message from the CEO and a photo of the team.”
That's literally all it takes. No design experience needed, no technical jargon required.

Option 2: Speak It
Not a fan of typing? Use the voice input feature to describe your design out loud. The ShortPoint AI Designer listens and builds.

Option 3: Paste from Clipboard
Spotted a design you love while browsing the web? Copy and paste it straight into the conversation. ShortPoint AI Designer will use it as a reference to recreate a similar layout for your page. No need to describe every little detail. All you need is to share the inspiration.

Option 4: Attach an Image
Have a screenshot, wireframe, or mockup saved on your computer? Upload it directly and let the AI work from your visual reference.

And here's a bonus: You can start with any of ShortPoint's 100+ pre-built templates and then ask AI Designer to adapt it for your department, your brand, or an entirely different use case. Best of both worlds. Interested? Check out

Step 4: Refine, Refine, Refine
One of the best things about ShortPoint AI Designer is that it doesn't just generate a page and disappear. It supports multi-turn conversations, meaning it remembers what you've discussed and keeps refining as you go.
Want to change the color scheme? No problem! You can just type the changes you want or even say them out loud.
You can also select any specific Design Element and ask the AI to edit just that piece without touching anything else.
