Available today → The secret? We trained a model that acts as a creative director It knows what looks good, finds the right references, and directs coding models for you So all you have to do is scroll The results:

When hundreds of designs generate in parallel... Suddenly, design feels a lot more like browsing

Appreciate everyone who's tried the product and exercised immense patience as we figure things out The team pulled an all-nighter for the launch and then had a late day on some critical issues We're back at it today working through a host of bugs, rate limiting, unintended behavior, etc Hoping to get fixes in soon 🙏

@variantui They "trained a creative director"? - this shows that's bs. There's a difference between training a model to understand design principles and apply them vs scraping designs you like (mine) & having AI clumsily reassemble them. That's not a CD, that's a bad rip-off bot...

@variantui Try scrolling or hitting "explore more" Best part of Variant is you're never stuck with the first set of designs

@variantui Is this a joke? You have blatantly ripped off my designs here. It even has the same copy and brand name to my original designs.

@variantui Occasionally the coding models we work with will stick a bit too close to a given reference Likely RL'd too heavily on screenshot to code We're hoping to work with labs to improve on this

@variantui Framing this as an edge case to "improve on" misses the point. If your model outputs near-verbatim copies of my work, that's not a fine-tuning issue, especially when you're selling this as intelligent creative direction. It's just a cheap scraping machine.

@variantui We have some ideas on how to detect these cases deterministically and prevent them from happening Something we're taking very seriously

@variantui So far nothing you've said suggests you're taking this seriously, just you're planning to hide it better. I need something concrete: my work should be removed from your training data & refs. I didn't consent to it being used & I def didn't consent to it being wholesale reproduced

@variantui Congrats on the launch! This is a step function improvement over the beta when I ran this same prompt a week ago ("Make a dark mode todo app for iOS") Thanks for advancing our field 🙏

@variantui The designs are fire. Variant is one of those tools that break the mold. So happy you're letting us export html and React. Can totally build those explorations.

@variantui I can tell it took you guys a long time to nail down and polish the details, but I think it was well worth it. This video is amazing and the product is even better.

Really love the storytelling in the video - I think this is simply how the human brain wants to "find out" what "fits"... I often have it with photography too, when a composition suddenly just works. Great feeling. Just registered - would love to see this thrive and expand. Congratulations!
