Assistant – Every Day Productivity Apps

I’d love to give this a 5 star review as it’s from the great BB team but it’s not quite there for me yet. I’ve been using a plugin that offers some of the same functionality for years (Assistant has a lot more to offer) and although this is definitely a time saver I’m finding that I need to do more clicks using this – a minimum of 2 to get anywhere (I’ve been spoilt with just one click from anywhere with the other plugin). Plus after clicking to view a page Assistant opens again so I need to click to close it which I find really frustrating. I’d also prefer to get rid of the big pencil in the top right and just have the “assistant” in the toolbar as I’m building a site with an ajax add to cart and it’s in exactly the same spot. I probably haven’t used it to its full potential yet so it may turn into 5 stars yet. I’ll probably continue to use my other time saving plugin because of the number of clicks it saves me. However on large e-commerce sites Assistant is the way forward as it doesn’t seem to preload the product links in the same way and whilst the other plugin crashed a very large e-commerce site, Assistant worked a treat.

Remote tool with great UI.

I’ve been a fan of Beaver Builder since I figured it out – which was fairly easy. It’s been an incredible boon to my website building. I recently added Beaver Builder Assistant to my workflow, and it kills it! Made everything so much faster – Thank you, thank you, thank you! No charge, works super fast and makes things SO much more accessible. You BB engineers made my life better, more fun and more profitable.

Thanks to the Beaver Builder team. When it is a standalone plugin, I did not see much value in the plugin as editing post content not possible with both BBuilder and assistant at the same time in the past. However, with recent integration, it made the post creation and editing a bliss.

It works great so far! Being able to edit from the front end is really nice.
