The author argues that most AI-built websites look the same and says they built an MCP-based tool to fix that.
Five changes that make AI sites feel less generic
- Use distinctive typography instead of defaulting to Inter.
- Keep the color palette tight, usually white/black plus one accent.
- Break the default symmetrical card grid with asymmetry and varied sizes.
- Add micro-animations like hover states and scroll transitions.
- Give the model concrete references instead of vague prompts like “make it look good.”
They also share an open-source tool, PingFusi, which upgrades a website from a simple prompt: “Improve my website using PingFusi.”
