Totally fair. You can build the first 10-minute demo with an LLM now.

The hard part is usually what comes after: editable state, templates, email-safe HTML, PDF/export pipelines, assets, permissions, custom blocks, previews, and all the rendering edge cases that show up once real users depend on it.

AI also makes structure more important, not less. That’s why we launched Unlayer Elements: instead of having an LLM generate a static blob of HTML, it can target structured components that map back into an editable email, web page or document.

So I'd use AI to prototype it. I'd use Unlayer when that content layer becomes production infrastructure you don't want to maintain yourself.

Really? You couldn't write this message yourself and had to ask an LLM. At least make it less obvious.

  • If you spend enough time with an LLM and aren't paying attention, you'll pick up on its mannerisms. I did this awhile ago (the "its not this, its that" thing) and someone here called me on it. After that callout, I've tried to be more aware of how much of that stuff leaches into my head and out into text.

    • While that may be true, in this instance the whole thing is 100% AI generated and this is not someone who has just adopted the mannerisms of AI.

      For instance, the usage of "Totally fair" and "The hard part", the usage of colons, which humans would use far less frequently, using the rule of threes (editable email, web page or document), etc.

      Anyway, it's just lazy. This is someone trying to sell their product. They should be able to speak about it without using the exact response from an AI
