Updates from DudaCon 2025 - Highlighting New Duda Features
DudaCon 2025 was one for the books—and we were thrilled to be part of it. Our very own Alex Schupp took the stage this year to speak alongside other agency leaders and digital innovators, sharing how we use Duda to build smarter, faster, and more flexible websites for our clients. But beyond the spotlight, DudaCon gave us a powerful look at what’s next for agencies and the future of web design.
If there was one takeaway from the entire event, it’s this: the future of website building isn’t just faster, it’s conversational, AI-assisted, and deeply integrated with the real workflows agencies use every day.
Here are 5 major updates and 6 standout features we’re bringing back from DudaCon 2025:
1. Agencies Are Being Asked to Do More...And Duda Is Listening
From managing multi-client workflows to launching custom solutions at scale, agencies are facing more demands than ever. Duda knows this, and they’ve responded with tools that go beyond drag-and-drop editors.
Think AI copilots, natural language interfaces, automation triggers, and site creation from a simple file upload. These tools aren’t just bells and whistles, they’re systems built to help agencies grow without adding headcount.
2. AI Is Now a Core Part of the Platform
Many of the most exciting announcements at DudaCon centered around artificial intelligence. From Duda Copilot, a conversational assistant, to File-to-Site, which transforms content into full websites, Duda is making AI part of the everyday design and build process. AI is no longer an extra. It’s part of the foundation.
3. The Way People Find Businesses Is Changing
Online discovery is no longer limited to Google. More and more people are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT to find services and products. Duda is ahead of this shift with llms.txt, a new way to help AI better understand and represent your site’s content. This is about meeting users where they already are and helping our clients get found in more places.
4. Websites Are Becoming Business Tools
Today’s websites need to do more than just look good. They need to function as booking tools, sales funnels, lead generators, and hubs for business operations. Duda’s new Native Booking and Advanced Form features reflect this change. Agencies can now build sites that work harder for clients and provide clear value from day one.
6 Game-Changing Features from DudaCon 2025
Here’s a quick look at the six new features we’re most excited about:
1. MCP: Model Context Protocol
Connect AI tools like Claude or Cursor to your Duda account and perform actions with natural language commands. This makes everything from publishing blogs to managing form submissions faster and easier.
2. Duda Copilot
A conversational assistant that lives inside your Duda dashboard. Copilot helps you build and manage sites through simple prompts and understands what site you're working on in real time.
3. File-to-Site
Turn client documents or briefs into ready-to-edit websites. Whether you want to use your own copy or let AI build around a brief, this feature streamlines content workflows in a big way.
4. AI Widget Builder
Describe the widget you want, and AI will create it using Duda’s JavaScript API. Whether you're integrating external services or building something totally custom, this speeds up development and cuts down on errors.
5. Native Booking Tool
Let your clients accept and manage appointments right from their site. With features like multiple event types, calendar integration, and email reminders, this tool makes scheduling simple and scalable.
6. Advanced Forms (Coming Soon)
Build flexible, multi-step forms with conditional logic and full control over layout and design. It’s perfect for lead generation, appointment booking, and user engagement.
Our Takeaway
DudaCon 2025 wasn’t just about announcements. It was about a bigger shift in how websites are built, managed, and discovered. Duda is helping agencies move faster, work smarter, and deliver better results for clients. We're already thinking about how to bring these new features into our own processes and projects.
Whether you're a small business looking for your first site or an established brand ready to scale, the new tools coming to Duda make it easier than ever to grow your presence online and meet your customers where they are.
