What is Elementor?
Elementor launches its own Cookie Consent plugin and deepens AI generation inside the Atomic Editor.
Elementor is shipping two product moves alongside a content barrage. Angie AI now generates Forms, Variables, and Classes directly inside the Atomic Editor (Jun 2), and a new in-house Cookie Consent product shipped one day prior with GDPR/CCPA banners, a cookie scanner, script blocking, and editor-native design control. The rest of the recent feed is SEO content stacked on the same day — page-builder comparisons, agentic-AI explainers, and cookie-compliance roundups timed to the consent launch.
What is Mentimeter?
Mentimeter is reaching past the presentation into recurring team sensing
Mentimeter publishes monthly or seasonal digests, each carrying a handful of changes. The recent run has been split between editing ergonomics — a grid view for slides with the same copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions as the thumbnail rail, PowerPoint add-in accessibility fixes — and AI applied to what the audience said, with automatic takeaways surfaced on the Results tab after a session. The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.

Elementor
6.3DESIGN
Elementor launches its own Cookie Consent plugin and deepens AI generation inside the Atomic Editor.
◆ Current state
Elementor is shipping two product moves alongside a content barrage. Angie AI now generates Forms, Variables, and Classes directly inside the Atomic Editor (Jun 2), and a new in-house Cookie Consent product shipped one day prior with GDPR/CCPA banners, a cookie scanner, script blocking, and editor-native design control. The rest of the recent feed is SEO content stacked on the same day — page-builder comparisons, agentic-AI explainers, and cookie-compliance roundups timed to the consent launch.
◆ Where it's heading
Two expansion vectors are visible. AI generation is moving deeper into the design system layer (variables, classes, forms) rather than just generating individual blocks — Elementor is staking a claim that AI sits inside the design system, not on top of it. Simultaneously, Cookie Consent extends Elementor from page builder into WordPress site-governance territory, bundling functionality that has historically lived in separate compliance plugins.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Atomic-Editor AI extensions (likely components, design tokens, and a forms/CRM endpoint generator) and a second compliance or governance product within the next quarter — accessibility audit or consent-analytics is the most plausible next bundled tool given the cookie-content roll-out pattern.
Mentimeter
2.5DESIGN
Mentimeter is reaching past the presentation into recurring team sensing
◆ Current state
Mentimeter publishes monthly or seasonal digests, each carrying a handful of changes. The recent run has been split between editing ergonomics — a grid view for slides with the same copy, duplicate, rearrange and delete actions as the thumbnail rail, PowerPoint add-in accessibility fixes — and AI applied to what the audience said, with automatic takeaways surfaced on the Results tab after a session. The larger move is Menti Pulse, in closed beta: recurring anonymous pulse checks delivered inside Microsoft Teams chats.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is trying to exist between meetings rather than only during them. Menti Pulse runs on a schedule in Teams with trends over time, and AI takeaways make what happened in a session persist as something readable afterwards rather than a chart that dies with the room. Everything else is craft work on the authoring surface, which is where Mentimeter's existing users spend their time.
◆ Prediction
Expect Menti Pulse to leave closed beta with Teams as the only delivery channel at first, and expect the AI takeaways already generated per session to become the natural summary layer over Pulse's recurring results.
