You can now use OpenAI's latest and most powerful language model, GPT 4o, with Slater AI. We've been testing GPT 4o this week and Slater AI's capabilities are better and faster than ever! Along with the new model, we implemented several improvements to Slater AI. Slater AI will now give more Slater and Webflow relevant answers since we give Slater AI contextual understanding (h/t tdlabs.ca). We also improved the messages parsing (h/t @jeffamcavoy). Slater SessionsSlater Sessions are back! In this Session, Witt breaks down the different flavors of Slater scripts. Javascript 101: Loading ScriptsIn keeping with the Slater Session, let's break down the different ways of loading Javascript in Webflow. Slater scripts can be loaded in one of two ways: loading a script (Simple Script) at the bottom of the DOM or dynamically adding a script (Smart Script) to the DOM on the 1.

Since we generally trusted each other and never had issues, we decided to leave it out of the latest version of Slater. That said, we understand that some teams work differently, and maintaining control can be...
We're going to take a brief break from the regular newsletter format to celebrate the release of ask.edgarallan.com. Today, let's hear from Mason Poe, the Founder of Edgar Allan and Slater. I'm thrilled to announce the launch of ask.edgarallan.com and the start of a new conversation. We can all feel it: the web is changing in ways that seem both dramatic and, in a weird way, imperceptible. At times, it’s hard to know where to start exploring what could be next. Sometimes, when you think...
Our new Edgar Allan website, which we're launching next week 🤫, uses over 3,000 lines of code. It’s a bit unwieldy! To better support the new EA website and similar JavaScript-heavy projects, we’ve added slater_import.
