The Post

As a maker with dev roots, my design skills suck. So, when I first launched this AI headshot generator app, it looked like it was designed by a middle schooler. Couple of weeks ago, I asked Claude to completely redesign it for better conversion. To my surprise, it one shotted the final results. I am really happy with the design it gave and also the conversion has improved too. I am seeing a surge in sales after the redesign. If you have a website with poor conversion, I would recommend to try this. Use an AI IDE and choose Claude as your model and ask it to redesign the website for better conversion.

Why this launch worked

This launch worked because it addressed a clear problem faced by makers (poor design leading to low conversion) and offered a novel, AI-driven solution. The poster's transparency about their own design limitations and their success in using AI to overcome them resonated with the community. The direct demonstration of positive results (increased sales) and the actionable advice provided further fueled engagement and interest.

What Worked

Leveraged AI (Claude) for UI/UX redesign, addressing a common maker pain point (design skills).

Demonstrated tangible results: improved conversion and increased sales, directly addressing the 'why pay?' question.

Provided a clear, actionable recommendation to other makers on how to use AI for website improvement.

Engaged with user questions and concerns, particularly around the value proposition against free alternatives like ChatGPT.

Dude who is paying for this? Like doesnt chatgpt as it is does it?

I'm not him but I think the target audience is those who doesn't know. Look at all AI-powered projects on this subreddit, do you really think it's worth paying for a wrapper with a nice UI? Make users not think and they will buy the idea. Ngl I would copy the idea if I had money and patience.

Hi, Based on my personal experience and the pics others shared that were generated with ChatGPT, the resemblance of a person's facial features is bit poor with ChatGPT. Whereas a headshot generator app mine, trains a model on your facial features so we could get the exact resemblance of yourself. I would absolutely use the headshots generated with ChatGPT on my Twitter without a second thought for fun but I wouldn't use it on my LinkedIn, email, or business website.

> target audience is those who doesn't know That's what target audiences are really. Rarely there's a product with no alternative.
