@Elias Chaldean Copy.ai and Jasper both had their moment but the moment Claude and GPT got good at long-form the use case basically disappeared overnight. That's the brutal side of this space — entire product categories become irrelevant in one model update. At least MidJourney has a distinct enough visual identity to survive. Copy.ai never had that defensible difference

@Adam Thorley The comments don't lie 😄 MidJourney built the audience for AI image generation and then the audience moved on — which is kind of the most AI thing that could happen. Higgsfield for commercial and character work is genuinely hard to argue against right now. What kind of work are you using it for most?

This is such an important point because a lot of businesses obsess over lead generation while leaking the leads they already paid for. More traffic won’t fix broken systems. If follow-up speed, consistency, and trust-building are weak, you’re basically buying opportunities just to hand them away. The real advantage now is often operational — whoever responds fastest and nurtures best usually wins before “better service” even gets compared. Curious how many people here have actually audited response time before assuming traffic is the main problem

Best practical move: treat Claude like a developer + design translator, not the designer itself. What works: Send screenshots of websites/apps you genuinely like (landing pages, dashboards, product pages, mobile UI) Tell Claude exactly what to extract: Layout structure Spacing Typography Color palette Button style Card design Animations Overall vibe (luxury, SaaS, Apple-like, bold, minimal) Example: “Use these screenshots as the design reference. I want the same premium visual quality, spacing discipline, typography hierarchy, and polished modern feel — do not copy branding, but match the design standard.” Even better: Ask it to break down WHY the design feels premium first, then rebuild your product using those principles. For digital products/web apps: Use: Framer Linear Stripe Apple Notion Arc browser as visual benchmarks. Actionable workflow: 1. Find 3–5 premium websites 2. Screenshot key sections 3. Upload to Claude 4. Ask it to analyze the shared design system 5. Then build your site based on that system Important: Don’t just send one hero section — send: Homepage Pricing Dashboard Mobile Buttons/cards/forms That gives Claude enough design context. Also specify: “Prioritize premium spacing, visual hierarchy, subtle shadows, rounded corners, refined UX, and modern conversion-focused design.” Basically: Good references in = better design out. Your design quality often becomes a direct reflection of the references you feed it.
