Point at exactly what you want changed
"The second image in the section about workshops - no, the other one." Describing a thing on your own website is surprisingly hard, and a description that lands on the wrong element is how trust gets dented. In Bernard's workshop, you skip the describing: you point.
The prompt
“Change the style of this [what you clicked - e.g. button] - make it [what you want, e.g. rounder, with more breathing room].”

How it works
- Open your site in the workshop. Pointing is already on - a small badge on the preview reads "Show Bernard what to change."
- Hover, then click. As you move your mouse, photos, headings, buttons and whole sections light up with a plain-English name - "Hero image", "Book a workshop button". Click the one you mean. Bernard answers straight away: "I see you've selected the Hero image - tell me what to change."
- Use the quick verbs, or just type. Beside your selection sit small actions matched to what it is - swap an image, change the style, remove it. Tapping one starts the sentence for you; you can always ignore them and ask in your own words.
- Send, and Bernard confirms first. Its reply opens by naming what you pointed at, so you know it understood before any work starts - then the change lands on your draft for you to approve.
Picking a replacement image works the same way: choose Swap on a photo and your own images appear in a picker - every picture already on your site, with thumbnails and search. Click one and the ask completes itself.
Pointing is a shortcut, not a cage. Clicking a section selects the whole area; clicking something inside it selects just that piece. It plays well with everything else the workshop does - Change the fonts and Change the colours asks get sharper when Bernard knows exactly which heading or panel you meant. On a phone, tapping works the same way, with the quick verbs appearing above the message box.
To work on a different page, use the page menu above the preview - it opens a small map of your site: pages grouped the way your site is organised, with a search box when there are lots of them. Pick a page and pointing carries straight on there. One honest limit: while pointing is on, your site's own links don't navigate - clicks are for selecting. The ☞ button above the preview turns pointing off when you want to browse by clicking links, and back on when you want to point.
For the smallest fixes - a typo, the wrong photo - you don't even need to send a message: see Can I just edit the text or swap a photo right there on the page? for editing text and swapping images directly, with no chat turn at all.
Questions people ask
- How do I tell the AI which image or button I mean on my website?
- In Bernard's workshop, you don't have to describe it - just click it. Move your mouse over the preview of your site and meaningful things light up with a plain-English name; click one and Bernard says what it sees, like "I see you've selected the Hero image." Your next message is about exactly that thing.
- Can it change the wrong thing by mistake?
- Pointing exists to prevent exactly that. Bernard receives the precise identity of what you clicked - not a guess from your description - and its reply starts by confirming it. And as always, the change lands on your draft first: nothing goes live until you approve it.
- What if I want to point at something on another page of my site?
- Use the page menu above the preview - it shows every page of your site as a little map, with a search box for bigger sites. Pick a page and keep pointing there. (While pointing is on, clicks select things instead of following links; the ☞ button switches pointing off if you'd rather browse your site's own links.)
