ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
💻️ Webflow releases “AI Site Builder”

Webflow has launched a new “AI Site Builder,” enabling users to transform a blank page into a custom website in minutes (with no coding required).

• You start by signing into Webflow (or creating a free account), then head to the AI Site Builder section, which is in beta as of late February 2025.

• From there, you tell it basic stuff about your project—like your business name, what it’s about (say, a bakery or a blog), and maybe a vibe you’re going for (professional, fun, sleek).

• The AI then cranks out a homepage or landing page in minutes, complete with a layout, placeholder text, and a style guide for colors and fonts.

It’s free to start with the Starter plan, which gives you two static pages, though you’ll need a paid plan for extras like more pages or a custom domain.

Webflow likely released its AI Site Builder to stay ahead in the fast-moving world of web design tools, with platforms like Relume and Lovable already offering AI-powered site generators.
