Advice: remove all slop and fluff from the website such as "Everything you need. Nothing you don’t."
Just state the information you want to communicate in the plainest and most straightforward way possible.

That phrase itself is such an astounding performative contradiction [0].

Something nobody needs is pointless hot air like "Everything you need. Nothing you don't."
You’d be surprised how hard this actually is. I spent 3 days iterating on a marketing site, where I had very explicit / “well written” copy, and it would just repeatedly rewrite it back to the most awful slop. Over and over again! Ended up adding various AGENTS rules telling it to leave the copy alone
Definitely easier and better than just writing the copy..
I think they're saying that they _had_ written the copy themselves, but were using the clanker for other tasks, and it kept going off course to "improve" the copy.

Just...write it yourself.
I did. And then it rewrote it. Over and over again. And I kept restoring it. And it kept taking agency to change it to some other neutral slop.
That’s the point.
I don’t think anyone ever looked at result. Website if full of overflow bugs. It’s pure slop.
true, it doesn't render properly on mobile. Although I quite like the design. It's a new AI design guide (font/color choice) I haven't seen in in other AI designed pages
