Ask HN: What's the ONE AI feature you've dreamed of having on your website?

3 pointsjoyfultonin6 comments

Imagine you could add a powerful AI feature to your website—anything at all. What would it be?

Whether it’s a tool to engage users, automate tasks, or deliver a magical experience, I’d love to hear your ideas. What’s missing that could take your site to the next level?

Let’s brainstorm the future of AI-powered websites!

View on HN

I’d like an AI that detects and rejects AI scrapers and people referred from commercially owned search engines, social media platforms, and parasitic news aggregators like Reddit and HN. Why? Because my website is not a side hustle and it’s not for commercial use.

While I doubt that was the answer you hoped to receive, nobody’s paying me to pretend your feelings matter. The more I read about AI the harder I yearn for the Butlerian Jihad.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Your idea of an AI that detects and rejects unwanted traffic, such as scrapers or visitors from platforms you feel don't align with your website's purpose, is a great one—and totally achievable.

It depends on your user group, what are their needs? If they are novel writers, they should hope to have a tool that can use AI tools to generate images or videos of their works, so that their novels can be displayed to readers in more ways. If they are directors, they should hope to have an AI tool that can generate storyboard scripts or storyboard images and videos with one click. Unfortunately, there are already websites that I know of that can achieve this, such as PopShort.AI.

Great points—it really does depend on the user group and their needs.

I work in EdTech. Consultation calls have been one of our best methods for converting leads into customers, but they're expensive to conduct. If there were AI technology that could help close deals or facilitate consultation calls, it would be a game-changer for us.

Great to hear
