Stanford Grad Launches AI Platform to Simplify Website Building
Imagine needing a website for your business.
Usually, you'd need a designer and coder, which takes time and money.
But a new platform called Launch, created by a Stanford graduate, uses AI to make websites.
You simply describe what you want your website to do in plain English, and the AI builds it for you, including the design and coding.
You pay to "prompt" the AI with your requests, and it creates the site automatically.
The goal is to make building websites easy and fast for everyone, even if they don't know how to code.
A Stanford graduate launched an AI-powered platform called Launch to help users create websites.
Launch allows users to build websites using plain English prompts, eliminating the need for coding knowledge.
The platform aims to reduce the time and cost associated with traditional website development.
Users pay for "prompts", which are messages to describe or modify their website, to interact with the AI.
The platform launched in beta in April and went live in June, with plans for expansion and human support.
