MuRu AI for SP Page Builder: Generate Joomla Pages, Dynamic Content, and Articles — From a Prompt

Building a page in SP Page Builder means picking sections, dragging columns, and filling in blocks one at a time. MuRu AI for SP Page Builder collapses that into one step: describe the page you want in plain language, click Generate, and a real, editable SP Page Builder layout — sections, columns, and content blocks — appears in the editor a few seconds later. It goes further than a single page, too: open a Dynamic Content collection and it builds that collection's index and detail pages for you, wired to the real fields; and from the Joomla Articles list it can create a published article whose body is a full SP Page Builder layout.

What MuRu AI Actually Does

MuRu AI adds a Generate AI Page button right next to SP Page Builder's own Frontend Editor button, on every page you open — plus a Generate pages button when you open a Dynamic Content collection, and a Generate with SP Page Builder AI button on the Joomla Articles list. It doesn't replace SP Page Builder's editor, add a new visual builder, or introduce its own content format. Every page it produces is a normal SP Page Builder page afterwards: the same sections, columns, and blocks you'd get building by hand, fully editable in the same editor.

It also doesn't ask you to sign up for a separate AI service. The plugin reads the API key and model already configured in SP Page Builder's own Settings → Generative AI panel and uses that — OpenAI (gpt-* models) or Google Gemini (gemini-* models). If you're already using SP Page Builder's AI text tools, there's nothing new to configure.

How a Generation Actually Happens

Open a page in the editor, click Generate AI Page, and here's what runs behind that one click:

1. Prompt window opens — describe the page, optionally start from a built-in template, and choose whether to replace the page or append a new section.
2. Your prompt plus a condensed SP Page Builder reference is sent to whichever model you've configured — nothing else about your site is included.
3. The model responds with a layout, which is parsed and, if needed, repaired — column widths fixed, invalid blocks discarded, duplicate headings removed.
4. Your current content is snapshotted to Version History before anything changes.
5. The page is overwritten and the editor reloads with the new layout, stale compiled CSS cleared automatically.

Replace, Append, or Start From a Template

The Generate window has two independent choices that make it useful beyond a first draft. Apply as lets you pick Replace current page content (the original behavior) or Append as a new section, which adds the generated section to the end of the page and leaves everything already there untouched — new content is always given fresh IDs, so it can never collide with what's already on the page.

Start from a template gives you ten ready-made starting prompts — SaaS landing page, About Us, Services, Pricing, Contact, FAQ, Portfolio, Team, Testimonials, and Coming Soon. Picking one fills the prompt box for you, fully editable before you generate, which is often faster than writing a brief from scratch.

The window also adapts to what you're looking at. On a brand-new empty page it drops the replace warning and the Replace/Append choice entirely — there's nothing to replace, so it just builds the page. On a page that already has content, both appear as before. And when the open page is bound to a Dynamic Content collection, the window tells you which collection the generation will use.

Dynamic Content-Aware Generation

If the page you're generating on was created through SP Page Builder's own New Page → Dynamic Content flow — an index or a detail page bound to a collection — MuRu AI notices, and builds against that collection's real fields instead of guessing:

• → Index pages get a proper Collection block wired to the collection, with grid or list layout and pagination already working — click-through to the detail page functions immediately.
• → Detail pages get Dynamic Text and Dynamic Media blocks bound to the actual fields you name in your prompt (title, description, specs, images, and so on), not placeholder text.

You still pick the collection and the index/detail role in SP Page Builder's own page-creation screen first — MuRu AI reads that binding, it never changes it.

Generate a Collection's Index & Detail Pages

You don't have to open the two pages one at a time. Open one of your Dynamic Content collections in SP Page Builder (Dynamic Content → a collection) and MuRu AI adds a Generate pages button. Describe both pages at once — for example, "an index with a filterable card grid showing the photo, title, and short description; a detail page with the full description, a specs list, and a gallery" — and it builds them in one run, using the same field-aware generation described above.

Generate a Joomla Article as an SP Page Builder Layout

SP Page Builder can back a normal Joomla article with a full builder layout through its Joomla Article integration. When that integration is switched on, MuRu AI adds a Generate with SP Page Builder AI button to the toolbar of Content → Articles, right next to New.

Give it an article title and a description of the layout you want. In one step it:

When it finishes, the window gives you a link to open the new article in the SP Page Builder editor and a link to its normal Joomla article editor.

Setup — Five Steps

Requirements & Licensing

• → Joomla 4, 5, or 6
