Yep, it's only a matter of time until it learns more web layouts and better design coherence. But just the mere fact that this exists is insane, and will definitely have an impact on designers' job prospects the more advanced it becomes. At the end of the day, designers are competing with cost-efficiency, not AI. It's our clients and employers and CEO's that will see the massive appeal of this even if its designs aren't mindblowing. "AI is just a tool" can only be an excuse for so long.
100% agree! Technology is deflationary to a point. With that said, I would always recommend all my subbies to embrace this technology, use it to your advantage. Work faster, smarter and better.
Mizko, I always appreciate your ability to tell it like it is, and not needlessly hype things up! I’ve been learning Webflow for the past few months, and quite a few designers have been telling me to switch to framer. I’m just not seeing a compelling reason to at this point. Plus, I think learning Webflow is fun and teaches me the actual anatomy of a webpage.
Thanks Jan! I'd personally still stick with Webflow as well.
With that said, I think Framer has done a phenomenal job on getting to where they are today. They were previously a prototyping tool and made a sudden pivot.
Super appreciate the overview here so that I didn't have to dive in. Definitely see what you mean on the slight gimmicky aspect to it all-agreed, it doesn't feel like a solid starting point. Templates honestly do a far better job at this. Although if they can leverage the template marketplace and suck all of those site layouts and components into AI and build from there, that would be quite impressive.
Wonder though if that would hurt their templates marketplace business though, one of the best things Framer has going for it.
All-in-all, impressive implementation, definitely marketing hype, curious to see what it all evolves into.
This is crazyyy 😦🤯
Would be interesting to have AI generate single UI components in Figma, predictable stuff that would normally take a long time to design manually. I could easily see that being made by AI engines. Include WCAG compatibility, variants, states, documentation, variables, props etc. That would save alot of pixel pushing 🙏
I haven't tried it yet, but figured it was more of a gimmick for now.. kind of like the Figma to Webflow plugin.
Yep, deff. a quick project to generate hype and buzz in my opinion. I was expecting a little more.
However their infrastructure is setup now, I'm sure they have a few team members training the hell out of the model.
To all the new web designers out there, forget about this Framer stuff. What you need to focus on is Figma. The way Figma's new variables and prototyping is structured I can almost guarantee that it will be the tool to conquer all other tools. AI is nothing without structure, and Figma has laid down a foundation that will enable the most precise generation of any tool out there. If you need a no code builder pick Webflow, because Webflow doesn't abstract web design, rather it can help you learn good structure. And when Figma inevitably replaces Webflow, and it will, you will still have good foundational HTML and CSS so you'll at least know how to lay out your projects for best results.
I know it sounds weird right now because Figma is a design/prototyping tool, but it won't be for long. I guarantee it.
Black theme is good. Figma light theme please
What about a video on the new figma updates and figma ai. Looks like figma is starting to become more of a complex design tool
True!
I also haven't found much usage of this Framer feature 🤷♂ Maybe if you're super new in design it has more value...
Which software you use to record your screen ??

Let's put it straight. The results of this "generator" are really bad. Fonts are ugly, colors are bad (often the contrast is a shame) and honestly, even a junior designer would probably make it better. I don't really understand, why they release something like this.
its so true! I tried to generate some web pages just for see the results and has been horrible! hahaha
@@elianamendez1148 Same here :) I mean, it's good, that they try, but I would never release that. It's too early and rather embarrassing :)
Sorry, but even after ten years this tool will be the same. There is no model for learning or doing web design and building websites. All what human managed to create until now are limited type of models with limited intelligence capabilities, and NONE of them managed to show even a slight percentage of human-like intelligence, as a software dev these are just our normal algorithms but on a scale, until now of course. That's being said, this thing can never do 10% of the thinking that a real human designer do, which why it sucks, a human will ask Mizko to explain his brand, his audience, his goal behind this website, then will analyze and think about the marketing language, the visual language, then will come back to Mizko and collaborate on the design structure and its harmony with the content, they will discuss, create, discuss again, iterate, think, refactor, analyze before building it.
There in no such a model that can do any of this using a real human-like intelligence, even these buzzy GPT generative models can't do this, they are just composing texts based on what they store.
The bottom line : human intelligence can't be recreated, no matter what you think about it.
I don't disagree but tell all that to the people paying us designers. At the end of the day they're going to go with the option that is the most cost-effective. If they can create a website without the cost of a professional human designer/team, I'm sure they're willing to forgo the human element and collaboration you describe for a passable website that would still bring in traffic, especially if AI can handle the SEO side of things.

Don't worry, will come back to us as soon as they realize something wrong in their business.
@@mo_1023 I would hope that's the case. Best case scenario is that businesses that end up using AI to create their products lose customers as consumers quickly find that they gravitate towards products conceived and designed by humans. AI creations are "cool", sure...but I believe it will only increase the value of human creations. We see it already when we tend to find the appeal of "hand-made" products vs. those made by machines in assembly lines.
