I’ve been working with @artf (creator of GrapesJS) on Grapes Studio, an HTML-first editor with an LLM assistant on top of GrapesJS.
We’re approaching this differently than the new wave of AI app/site builders which are typically generating full React applications, which we think is overkill for simple websites. From talking to people using these tools, we’ve seen a lot of issues with build errors and overly complicated pages.
With our approach you can:
- Edit visually via the no-code editor (drag/drop) or ask the LLM to make scoped changes (like “add a section” or “add a new page”).
- Build with straight HTML/CSS
- Ask AI to import your current site and start building from there instead of total rebuild.
We think there’s a lot of benefit using drag and drop editor functionality with LLMs, or you can jump straight into the code in the editor if you choose.
- Do you see value in this hybrid model (AI + visual + code editing)?
- What are the biggest blockers you’ve run into with AI-only builders?
Let us know what you think.
