$WIX I didn't realize WIX had acquired BASE 44. Youtube ad campaign got my click - compelling. Was only alerted by someone commenting about an "AI horse in the race" here recently. Going head to head with Replit - well certainly the no code model Amjad Masad was pitching on his recent Diary of a CEO episode. Replit valuation
$9B - 3x entire Wix market cap.
Base 44 will be excellent for the stock valuation - and revenue sounds promising. But it is clearly a secondary and different market.
More to the point is the integration of AI design and coding tool kit (and 'AI agent' tools) in the existing Wix Studio and legacy systems. https://www.wix.com/studio/ai
Must say been very impressed with Wix e-commerce workflow and its SEO performance is stellar (I have over a decade of experience with Shopify and Woo Commerce). They are still ironing a few things out, but yeah super easy to pull rank - and revenue. Wix Design tools do kick Shopify's lazy arse - & their customer support ditto.
