Just gave it a try, thought I’d do something basic. My prompt was “a simple login screen that only allows the user to log in, plus a link to password reset. There should be no option for users to sign up in any capacity.”
Instead of a login screen, it made a sign up screen, which I specificially said not to. It also has “Forgot Password” and “Reset Password” 4 separate times! It has “Login” twice, a search box on the top for some reason, and a users profile picture in the top right despite being a “login” page.
Good feedback, it would be helpful if they allowed you to enter feedback wouldnt it? And then the feedback can be sent to Bubble and/or used to regenerate. If you care enough, submit a bug report though.
With this being their first stab at AI design (today is the launch day), I think some patience is needed for this to really come together. At the end of the day, you can simply remove the parts you don’t want in less than 10 seconds but your UI structure is there.
As this grows, I can see this being a nice way for us to get a basic layout idea and then add our own personal touches or components to it.
My background is UI/UX and have 14 years of experience in design, so my expectations for this wasn’t high but it’s a fast way to get a framework.
From my understanding, features like this aren’t 100% AI, especially for no-code products.
The AI feature is not going to produce EXACTLY what you want. It’s going to produce the best version of what it has available (template/element knowledge).
These types of AI builder features are more like:
80% automation building on behalf of the user
20% AI producing unique outputs based on dynamic inputs
In the near future, I’d recommend using this tool AFTER implementing your style guide. Use the AI feature to auto-build your placeholder pages. Then start working.
This is your (better) alternative to a blank canvas.
While it’s not as polished as I’d like, it’s a good start imo. It’s good enough for me to generate quick designs to show the user and then make edits along the way. But I don’t think AI app generators are going to be to the level we’d want them to be any time soon.
Some app’s will require more specific designs and components that I don’t think AI will know to generate on its own. So a developer will always need to step in and tweak.
I’m more wondering when the Mobile app launcher is coming out.
Jez, I’m a critic of the AI push in general… but “your builder is terrible” on a v1 product the day before it’s officially announced is just next level troll.
I have my own issues w/ Bubble but I can’t imagine being an employee of Bubble, busting my ass for months on something, and seeing this forum post.
Yikes.
As the kids say now: “Let them cook ” (P.S. This is coming from someone who has no interest in the AI tool whatsoever…)
Exactly, like take it or leave it They should definitely have a feedback box though, or at least a thumbs/up thumbs down thing - sounds like exactly the sort of data they’d want!
feature is brand new (and still on Beta) so I think we can keep using the usual subcategories for now, but definitely would be good as it grows in usage
People like OP think that AI will do EVERYTHING for them, so expect more posts like this eventually.
We got to let the AI learn about the structure of the application more, and it’ll eventually make some beautiful and complex components in the feature. I’m confident in that.
I think this is a little off base here. The real power of these kind of features is simply to save time. Surely one day AI will be able to create flawless applications with beautiful user experience and design, but that day is over the horizon.
Instead of focusing on how “terrible” the features are, see if you can fit what it can do into your workflow. What I see here is a UI that with a very small amount of effort would be exactly what you asked for.
Just like language models, we aren’t meant to blindly copy paste emails written via GPT and hit send straight to your customer’s inbox, but it sure does save us a lot of time formatting, selecting language, and formalities.
I had tried the AI Page Builder and thought it was good.
What I did notice (from my experience) is the pages it created used components that were pulled from the component library. Which I imagine is why they recently updated the library. Obviously, the text was AI-generated.
There were a couple of components I had considered copying and pasting…since I thought it would save me a lot of time…then it dawned on me I could just use them from the component library since that is where they came from. Maybe I’m just a slow learner
I don’t have any problem with that, but it did make me wonder if some of the suggestions I had read on the forum where it would be nice to save our own components to the library… and wondered if it would then allow them to be used in the generation of the AI page?
Just my observations with the page designer so far.
Overall, I think Bubble is on the right track with their endeavors.
It’s pretty damn responsive. When you generate a page, make sure you include “Also Mobile Responsive” in the generation (not sure if it matters as they are using the reponsive engine as the base for the AI anyways). It works out pretty well.
There won’t be any advanced workflows. When you prompt “A Product page that has different tabs for …” This won’t give you those specific tabs likely, but will give you the “Template” to easily add the workflows to it yourself and make it work the way you want.
It saves time. I have used it already about 10 times and am actively using the pages I have generated – yes they were not perfect but still yielded me good enough results to create the boilerplate I needed for the specific page I needed.
You still have to know what you’re doing. AI won’t do all the work for you. It supplies you with a rendered “idea”. In my terms it’s a live demo of a “Figma”.
All in all, AI will need some time as I’m sure they’re using our data to train them significantly and they will be releasing their upgraded models over time.
In other words, think of this as Chat GPT 2.0 – moving its way up to 4o.
