Show HN: AI-powered landing page builder

I see this as a part of the trend towards a bleak future of auto generated low quality generic content flooding the web. It already feels like it has been going on for a long time even though it has not been fully AI-driven before. This is a natural evolution of the direction things are going towards. I believe that non-algorithmic curation and aggregation will become even more important services that people will be willing to pay for.

The title implies the AI has some creative capability to design and code. What I actually see there is a machine learning program like any other, learning to do a boring repetitive task we've done a million times in the past (thus providing the training data)... A landing page.

I've been obsessed with GPT-3 since I got access in July this year. I decided to see how far it could go and use it to build a landing page builder with it. A builder that can write, design and code your landing page for you.

And honestly, I'm blown away what's possible with it. We're going to see some really interesting developments using this technology in the coming years.

I mean, sure, if all you need is some marketing fluff I can see how this might work. Most landing pages seem to actively try to keep me from finding out what I need to know about the product or service (specs, prices, features, …). But is this really the future? I hope not.

Don't get me wrong, AI text processing is awesome. But I'd rather see it work for instead of against me. I'd love to see a tool that can provide me with executive summaries of longer texts or just to optimize information density (which would otherwise take the writer more time he might not be willing to spare).

That's very cool however I found it a bit strange that the site you build in the demo is different to the landing page hosting the demo. The subliminal messaging is that it's not good enough for prime time which you may want to avoid?

No offense, but if you can't design and write a compelling landing page for your service that works you don't understand your product or customer enough to be in the line of business that you're in.

This is the race to the bottom kind of shit that is designed to help you crank out no/low effort content that search engines like but provide no value to an end user.

Why is this a monthly fee? I was trying to find how much it would cost to just generate me a landing page but I could only see how to host it. So this seems odd unless I just want to generate a ton of these.

It smells fishy to me as if it actually worked it would be an easy “take your money, here’s your website” function.

I want to post something cynical and a bit nasty about what I think of this AI template builder but instead I'll just leave this vague comment...

The writing part is impressive. The other things? I thought we had a bajillion templates already. The hardest part might be picking something that works well for your users, and not randomly picking a design. Unless, of course, those two choices are one and the same.

There's absolutely no reason that we shouldn't have the capability (in the near future) to generate entire websites with a click of a button and narrated instructions. This is definitely the step in the right direction. Congrats on the progress!

I still have no idea how folks can get access to GPT-3 to do things like this on any sort of scale given the current pay-per-use model. Can someone share how to get programmatic access to Gpt-3 without using a hack like AI dungeon?

Really? We're upvoting pure marketing BS now? This is actually embarrassing.

Not sure why this got flagged. Surprisingly good product made by a solo founder.

Does it also add fake "trusted and used by" sections in the generated landing pages?

I read as far as

> "Explain your product in just twenty words and we'll generate appropriate design templates instantly."

before the {{Citation needed}} alarm went off.

Would anyone care to explain what the word "appropriate" is supposed to mean in that sentence?

So, err... it apparently generates (among other things) fake testimonials? No thanks. "Marketing fluff" may be (just about) acceptable for a landing page, but this is pure BS.

Is it progress? Perhaps. But in a positive direction? No.

Tell Ai it’s now 2021 so it can update the date in the footer:-)

I found the pricing confusing. Unclear how/when a credit would be used.

Most landing page saas apps I've seen price based on page views, which lends me to believe those credits also limit page views. If not, I suggest explicitly stating unlimited page views (or what ever the limit is) if it's unrelated to the "credits" system.

I don't think there's any forum more resistant to seeing the inevitable application of technology than this one.

AI, formerly known as clever algorithms, have been able to write since ElizaBot, design since Photoshop filters, and code since the first compiler. What it can't do well without human intervention is make our lives easier by making money, automating tasks, etc.

I'll be impressed when the AI can generate a readable optimizing compiler backend from a specification, but currently it's not really design is it?

Looks awesome. Machine and human working together. Inevitable anyway. Machine provides the bulk and human tweaks and polishes.

Coding, aka, injecting content into templates.

Is it AI or simply distilled intuition?

The only reason I can think for people flagging this is that they are afraid for their jobs.

I don't blame them. I work in NLP and fear that sometime in the next 20 to 50 years a significant portion of my own work will be automated away by increasingly sophisticated transformers models. This, combined with the increasingly centralization of the means to do effective AI research, leaves me believing that eventually I'll have to change fields if I want to keep making a paycheck...
