Show HN: Zyro – AI Powered Website Builder

The AI part are:

- Business name generator

- Slogan generator

- Logo maker

- AI heat map generator (given a mockup of website, analyzes where users potentially would look at)

- Content generator https://zyro.com/ai/content-generator

I can see logo maker and content generator proving to be very useful for 'mom and pop' websites; quite practical use of 'AI'.

Something I've noticed in both website builders and theme buying is that it is very hard to separate the incredible stock photography from the overall style of the site.

The common experience seems to be picking what you think is the "perfect" theme only to find that it's really dependent upon having thousands of dollars of high-end photos taken.

It seems like an unsolved problem.

Squarespace was leaning heavily on 'AI generated websites' only a few years ago. Just add content (text, images and such) and Squarespace's AI magic would turn it into a wonderful website. I just now had a look at their website and it does not have any reference to AI at all.

Very surprising. Or maybe understandable: I am not sure if 'AI generated' is a thing to a non-IT person. It sounds complicated. Maybe that is what Squarespace learned.

I am very sure the two people that asked me for an advice in the past days would not care. 'Easy', 'cheap' and maybe 'drag-and-drop' might do it. 'E-commerce', 'onine shop' even more.

Any time I hear “AI powered”, I can’t help it but the image of a curtain pulling back to reveal a bunch of hamsters turning a wheel comes to mind.

More people taking up website building and creation, it is nice to see that it can be done easily with a service like this. I think it adds to the accessibility, not everyone understands the tricky part of building a website and most want to do it fast, so o I think this feature is pretty cool

Can't help but think the AI-generated content is a little ambitious, with results like these, for reference I chose Music & Entertainment > Indie Music as the categories for generating content:

> Indie music is a great genre of music. Indie music is the best of indie music. Indie music is my music, my life, my music. Indie music is the world. Indie music is life. Indie music is indie music. Indie music is Indie music.

> The band formed in 2009 in the New York City music scene. The group has been featured on: MTV, NBC, BBC, CNN, PBS, The O’Reilly Factor, BBC Radio, MTV, NBC, BBC, MTV, and MTV2. The band has been the subject of performances at several shows such as: E3, E3 2013, E3 2014, E3 2015, and E3 2016. The band has been featured in: YouTube, YouTube Red, YouTube Music, MTV Music, and YouTube Vlogger.

Who would this actually be useful for?

Where you would make a difference, at least in Europe, is an integrated multi-lingual (and multi-currency) feature. One where you can translate objects (h1, text, message) instead of creating a copy of some page. None of your competitors (which are many) get this right.

From the technical side impressive! But if a website plans on using AI to generate content does it really need to be there? Personally, I couldn't think of a situations where turbocharging my fluff generation would lead to a better website. Is this strictly for SEO?

How is this different than all the others that fail to deliver?

Congratulations on the launch. I am not really sure the world needs another website builder but your pricing looks attractive for small businesses outside the west.

No coding skills needed is good, but i really need a "Export code" button :)
