@mobileraj I'm really excited about this 1.0 launch! My nephew is planning to build a business this summer while he stays with us. Solo is going to be perfect for him!

@mobileraj I try many times to sign up with my email to save draft, but was impossible. Then I try with email address sign up am Listo! Gracias por su apoyo y por esta fantástica herramienta!

@miguel_angel_perez_alvarez1 Can you send me an email at support@soloist.ai and let me know what error or other you are seeing?

@shushant_lakhyani We had 4 goals in the design choices and construction of Solo: 1. Simple - By design, there are less choices and less editing fidelity. This isn't an oversight, but we found that the non-technical or non-designer audience to get overwhelmed by many options and settings whether Wix, Squarespace or other 2. Fast - The vast majority of sites are started but never finished. This is in-part b/c it's so hard to curate images and write content but also related to #1, you see dozens of design choices and you can't make up your mind. We wanted the experience to be really fast and w/ Solo, you can be up and running in minutes. 3. Beautiful - Our intent for Solo was to have a website for your business. We spent a lot of energy making sure the result looked great on both the desktop and mobile. We even added light-weight animations to your generated site to give it a super polished feel. Our goal was that you should be able to get the premium experience you'd get working with an agency but yourself. 4. Free - We surveyed dozens of website building tools and found that each and every one of them charge for connecting and/or hosting a custom domain. We made this free. We'd like to Robinhood this category as we want to support solopreneurs especially when they are early in their journey. As of now, we're not aware of any other way to connect and host a custom domain for free. Hope that provides some insight in how we tried to differentiate.

@mcsnackyu Hi Tim de jong - We use OpenAI to craft the initial draft of text for the generated website. We use Unsplash to curate images for the site. The designs are templates we built that we randomize. There are enough layout options plus colors, fonts and more, that the end-result is a unique experience that you can further edit to make it reflect your own authentic voice or business. We do use some cleverness with our prompting in an attempt to generate optimized output but the SEO industry in general is in major flux right now w/ Google's AI answers + Gen AI content flooding the web etc etc that in general, getting your site ranked is going to involve a lot more work then simply optimizing keywords so ultimately the solopreneur is still responsible for driving traffic to their website. Over the coming months, quarters, we're exploring way to help drive growth via ads against the Mozilla Ad Network (as we're a Mozilla Innovation Project). It's still early but that's potentially one channel.

@sgroiga Hi Gabriel - By landing page, do you mean the Solo website itself? There is a demo video of what Solo can build here: I agree, we should probably link to some example Solo websites from our main homepage and link out to a demo video. We'll do that soon, thanks for this feedback. Note, regarding cost, Solo is free.

@mashy Hi Albert - The Solo websites are fairly customizable. It's not meant to be a replacement to Wordpress, Wix or other. If you need that level of fidelity, those tools are great but most users need something simple to supplement their existing Facebook Business or Yelp page or other. Are there specific things you'd like to see or add?

@to_p Hi Torsten - the first Solo thumbnail above links to a YouTube demo so you can get a feel of Solo: This is an older blog post that also shares more about the technical stuff involved in building Solo if you're interested in prompts etc: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozi... Hope that helps and thx for your support.

@ahmetkara Thanks for your feedback Ahmet. Can you share more regarding what you'd like to see?

@mobileraj The existing website needs to pull its content. It failed to do this. It created an almost static website and it was quite simple. There are many free website builders on WordPress anyway. It might be more useful if you work on a program that makes the existing website more elegant. For example, webflow does this. It protects web designers working with low code from wasting time while creating more dynamic websites.

@ahmetkara In onboarding, we provide an option to provide a link to an existing web presence and we do try to pull content. This is very much a work in progress and an area we are hoping to improve. We usually find that our customers started with an existing Instagram, Facebook or Yelp page. RE: Wordpress and Webflow, our target user finds Wordpress, for example, way too technically complicated / difficult. Many in our customer base struggle with even buying a custom domain. Wordpress, Wix etc are great tools but we intentionally are trying to target a segment that needs something simpler.

@badcatdesign Thanks for that catch, fixing now!

@madmanick Hi Manick, good question, there are a few things we do in trying to deliver a unique website for every user: 1. We allow the user to import their existing web presence (eg an IG, FB or Yelp page etc). This isn't perfect but we do attempt to scrape the page and use this content as context as part of our AI prompt in generating the new content for the different sections in your website. 2. We have a range of sections, themes, layout options and more. We randomize this with each site generation so the style looks uniquely different. 3. Something we're not yet doing but we're exploring randomizing the temperature (a Generative AI setting) to get more diverse text that is outputted when users request sites being generated for similar services 4. We pull a large set of images that could be used for your website and then randomly pick. There are other general parameters that can influence the text being generated and that's based on the user's input to questions like what is your site about and where is the business based etc. All of the above isn't perfect but we did have an internal goal to make each site feel as unique as possible. This continues to be a work in progress but you should expect that this will only improve and of course, we recommend that the customer use the initial site as a draft from which they can further manually edit to personalize to their own authentic voice.
