Show HN: Greenonion.ai – AI-Powered Design Assistant

I think the idea is pretty great – I'd use it!

But... pretty much every design in your customer design showcase has some major design problems, from a really basic graphic design POV.

I feel the the promise of this tool should be "you don't need to worry about your design eye, we've got that".

Based on those images, it doesn't feel like it lives up to that.

I gave it a try since I need a product to dynamically generate ads to test for all the top platforms for my startup mintmcp.com. This is a real use case and I was hopeful but the product is far from meeting the bar I'd consider valuable for my specific use case. The issues were numerous: Onboarding was not intuitive, I wanted assistance knowing how to best fill out the forms, project structure was somewhat confusing but I muddled through. The biggest issue is the output didn't meet my standards. Typography just wasn't sophisticated enough. Elements were truncated, There seems to be no real awareness of the image content which I am hoping AI can deal with at some point. Overall the output wasn't usable. I'll keep an eye out to track your progress. Good luck!

How is the accessibility for screen readers of the generated web code?

Just a heads up, you linked to your framer directly instead of your brand.

Also, this page breaks it's responsiveness at larger screen sizes, and put a lot of skepticism on the AI Design of this tool. :)

Did you use the tool to design the website for the tool? There is a difference in the way the design looks and the customer showcase looks.

This looks like dogshit.

I've seen a dozen frontpage posts this week that were nothing more than "look at this garbage Claude made for me." Can we get some new moderation rules to prevent slop on HN?

I would not trust this tool to generate client-ready designs based solely on the design of its home page.

I think you specifically mean graphic design; not web- or product.

Building great design tools is hard, but I love that you're tackling this step by step. Starting with layouts is smart.

Scrolling initially I thought: Design of what?

On mobile, the showcase is also not really visible.

Hugged to death, I think

props for picking "realistic" results but if you want to attract users you should probably cherry pick better ones or cheat. all of those look horrible.

> We don’t rely on templates — each design is uniquely created by AI, just for you.

There's some irony in there somewhere I'm sure. I don't see the use case here, infact it's one of those subjects that I feel should be left to a human touch, but what do I know. AI slop is the new trend. Best of luck.
