The post discusses the community's thoughts on a new AI tool called Rollout and how it compares to other AI website generators. Some community members are impressed with Rollout's capabilities, such as its ability to create tables, while others are more skeptical, noting that many AI site generators produce low-quality, templated content. The discussion centers around the need for AI tools that cater to professional web developers rather than just generating random websites. The community members express a desire for Rollout's AI to have a "common language" with Webstudio users, allowing for more customization and adherence to best practices.
not an AI that will generate something random, low quality site in 1 click that looks like a copy of something else, most of these generators are just templates that are getting filled with random content
Your point is definitively valid and true. Beside that, most of the time it's what people are looking for: a mix and match of different part of web template, palette matching, etc.
We are starting now to see more and more tools made to think more "css" and able to create new things related to user request. But for this, users needs to be creative.
Hope to see WebStudio AI continue its road to maturity :). I understand at this time it's a low effort developlment, pretty sure this may evolve in the future.
It would be fantastic if webstudio users and webstudio AI have a common language. So far, I haven't got enough exposure to AI website generators to really give an in-depth feedback, but I guess for Webstudio, it would be great if we could prompt things like how we want page_wrapper, sections, containers and boxes and how we want the taxonomy of components, design tokens etc.
The AI could then help create something that the user can then further work with in exactly the parameters and best practices instead of prompting and getting a version that is again only adjustable with wild general prompts...
