Framer's AI Generate Websites: Gimmick? An Assistant? Or Death to Designers? 💀
What's up Indie Hackers 🤘🏽,
Just launched a video of my thoughts around Framer’s cutting edge AI! 🤖🤖🤖
It is definitely the start of something big!! 🚀
But I also want to address the elephant in the room about the future of web design, and what my thoughts are around that.
In this video I analyse whether Framer's AI is
- A Gimmick?
- A worthy Assistant?
- The death of web designers as we know it?
- The bright future we’ve all been waiting for?
Watch the video to find out!

Honestly, I've tried it 4-6x times. So far none of the designs are that good. I think you'll need to spend a long time on your prompt to get anything near usable if you want a commercial project
Yes it's definitely still early days. The most value is from the OpenAI integration to fast track copywriting.
That means an opportunity for Promt Engineers
Over the years I think it will bring big disruption. For now, as you said it can help with landing pages, and apps like that, which was already moved more to the applications like Carrd where we have templates. Although Framer will help us design non-generic templates I hope.
I was looking a few years ago to build Sketch/Figma -> React Component and output them with some logic or at least as a design library, which then would be updated based on the design, and the designer would be able to update react components which are shared. That didn't work, since there was more complexity than I thought and AI wasn't that much advanced. These days, things like that are more likely, but they still can't output more complex interactions.
Overall, I think if they keep this pace of innovation we will see big disruption over the coming years.
Yes. It's a small step towards a huge future!
