What this update is really about
June is about three moments in your journey:
- Starting without a blank page — attach a file to your first prompt
- Finishing without babysitting a browser tab — background builds
- Getting found and improving after you go live — SEO, AEO, analytics, and polish
Last month gave you the technical SEO foundation at publish. This month makes the build itself faster and less fragile, then closes the loop from launch to discoverability to measurement.
1. Background builds: submit, close the tab, come back later
The disconnect timeout is gone. After you submit your first prompt and finish the initial Q&A with the agent, your build keeps running in the background even if you close the browser tab.
The build only pauses if the agent needs your input again.
Before: You had to keep the tab open and watch the build finish. Step away and you risked losing progress.
Now: Write your prompt. Submit. Answer the agent's opening questions. Close the tab and go do something else. Come back to continued progress on your build.
This is especially helpful for first-time builds, which take longer while the agent sets up your site structure, copy, and layout.
How to use it:
- Start a new project and describe what you want to build.
- Answer any questions the agent asks at the start.
- Once the agent is working on the build, you can close the tab or switch apps.
- Return to Airo AI Builder when you are ready. Your project will be waiting.
If the agent needs a decision from you, the build pauses until you respond.
2. Attach a file to your first prompt
You can now attach a supporting file as part of your first prompt on the Airo AI Builder home page. Drag and drop a file onto the prompt area or use the file picker. Once attached, the builder fills in a starter prompt for you and enables the Generate button so you can kick off your build right away.
Before: You had to describe everything from scratch in the prompt box, even if you already had a doc, mockup, or old site file ready to go.
Now: Bring what you have into the first step. Useful if you have:
- A
.mdor.txtfile with business details, copy, or a brief - An
.htmlfile from an existing site you want to rebuild or improve - Images (PNG, JPG, SVG, and more) for logos, product shots, or reference visuals
- A
.zipwith assets bundled together
The agent reads your file as context for the build instead of making you retype it all.
Supported file types: .md · .txt · .xml · .html · .htm · .zip · .png · .jpg · .jpeg · .gif · .svg · .webp
How to use it:
- Go to the Airo AI Builder home page.
- Drag a file into the prompt area, or click to open the file picker.
- Review the starter prompt the builder generates from your file.
- Edit the prompt if you want, then click Generate.
3. Optimize your site for search (SEO + AEO)
You can now prompt "Optimize my site for SEO" and the agent walks through your pages with you. It helps update page titles, meta descriptions, and on-page structure so your site reads clearly to search engines and AI systems.
Before: You published and hoped Google (or an AI assistant) would figure out what you do.
Now: You can actively tune your site for discoverability without hiring an SEO consultant or installing plugins.
This matters in two places:
| SEO | AEO | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you show up | Google and Bing search results | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews |
| What helps | Page titles, descriptions, sitemap | Clear content, business details, structured pages |
| What June adds | Prompt: "Optimize my site for SEO" | Same prompt; pages tuned for AI systems to read |
Most small business sites miss both. Yours doesn't have to.
How to use it:
- Open your project in Airo AI Builder.
- Type
"Optimize my site for SEO"in the prompt bar. - Review what the agent suggests. Accept changes page by page.
- Publish (or republish) when you are happy.
If you built with us in May, you already have server-rendered pages and automatic sitemap files. This prompt builds on that foundation.
4. See how your site is performing (analytics)
Analytics now live inside Airo AI Builder. For published sites, you can see page views, visitors, and clicks without opening Google Analytics or another dashboard.
Before: You published and had no simple way to know if anyone was visiting.
Now: You get a quick read on whether your site is getting traction. Start with three questions:
- Are people landing on my site?
- Which pages get the most views?
- Are visitors clicking where I want them to?
When you see a number move, you can prompt your next change in the same session.
How to use it:
- Publish your site (or open an already published project).
- Open the analytics view in the builder.
- Check page views, visitors, and clicks over time.
- Use what you learn to prompt updates: new copy, a new section, or an SEO optimization pass.
5. Automatic email notifications for app transfers
App transfer emails are now live. When you start or accept an app transfer, Airo AI Builder sends automatic email updates to your inbox at each step of the process.
If you are sending an app:
- Confirmation when the transfer starts, including the transfer code to share
- A heads-up if the code is about to expire
- Confirmation when the recipient accepts, or a notice if the transfer times out
If you are receiving an app:
- An invitation email with instructions to accept (or create an account and accept)
- Confirmation when the app lands in your account, with next steps if anything needs reconnecting
No extra setup required. If a transfer is in progress, your inbox will reflect it.
6. Edit images without leaving the builder
Image editing tools are now built into your site preview. You can adjust brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, blur, and filters from the same place you build.
Before: You downloaded an image, edited it in another app, re-uploaded it, and lost time every time something looked off.
Now: You fix it in place. Your site looks more polished without breaking your flow.
How to use it:
- Open your site preview.
- Select the image you want to change.
- Open the media editor.
- Adjust settings until it looks right.
- Save and keep building.
7. Share feedback and get a chance to be featured
When you rate your experience in the Share feedback flow, you can now opt in to let GoDaddy publicly share your feedback along with your business name and website.
If you are happy with your project, you can choose to share your story. That helps other builders see real examples of what is possible with Airo AI Builder.
Opting in gives you a chance to be featured on GoDaddy's blog, social channels, or website. GoDaddy selects stories at its discretion; not every opt-in is featured. Public sharing only happens if you check the consent box.
8. Smaller updates that save you time
| Update | What you will notice |
|---|---|
| Simplified publish flow | One clear path to go live. If you need a plan upgrade, the builder tells you before you hit a wall. |
| Press Enter to submit | Hit Enter in the prompt bar to send your message. Faster back-and-forth with the agent. |

Frequently asked questions
Can I close the browser while my site is building?
Yes. After you submit your first prompt and answer the agent's initial questions, the build continues in the background even if you close the tab. The build only pauses if the agent needs your input.
Can I attach a file when I start a new build?
Yes. On the Airo AI Builder home page, drag and drop a file into the prompt area or use the file picker. Supported types include markdown, text, HTML, XML, ZIP, and common image formats. The builder uses your file to populate a starter prompt and enables Generate so you can start building immediately.
What is AEO and why should I care?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini understand and recommend your business when people ask questions instead of searching Google. Clear page content, business details, and structured pages can help AI systems cite your site in those answers.
How do I optimize my site for SEO in Airo AI Builder?
Open your project and type "Optimize my site for SEO" in the prompt bar. The agent will suggest updates to titles, descriptions, and page content. Review each change before publishing.
Will I get email notifications when I transfer an app?
Yes. When you start or accept an app transfer, you receive automatic emails at each step: confirmation when a transfer begins, invitation or acceptance prompts for the recipient, completion notices for both parties, and alerts if a transfer code is expiring or has expired.
Do I need a paid plan for SEO, analytics, or image editing?
No. Those June features are available on the free plan and paid plans. App transfer emails apply when you use the app transfer flow.
I published in May. Do I need to do anything for SEO?
Your site already benefits from May's technical SEO foundation (server rendering, sitemap, robots.txt). June adds an optional prompt so you can actively tune titles and descriptions whenever you want.
Can I be featured on GoDaddy if I love my Airo AI Builder project?
Yes, if you opt in. When you share feedback, check "GoDaddy may publicly share my feedback and business name/website." That gives you a chance to be highlighted on GoDaddy's blog, social channels, or website. GoDaddy selects stories at its discretion; public sharing only happens with your consent.
Try it yourself
Describe your idea, attach a file, or submit and walk away while the build runs. Airo AI Builder builds a working site or app, helps you publish it, optimize it for search, and track what happens next.
