Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Ben, co-founder of Repaint. Today, we’re officially ending our beta and opening Repaint to the world.
Repaint is an AI chatbot that builds professional websites.
This is actually our second website builder. During YC S23, we built an entirely different website builder. It was heavily inspired by Figma. We spent thousands of hours polishing it... and yet nobody finished their website 😅. It was too much manual work. And our product wasn't meaningfully easier than existing website builders. Eventually, we shut it down.
As AI got better, we realized it was possible to automate most of web design.
The big companies tacked on a couple AI features, but their core experience is still manual editing. And the newer AI tools are optimized around vibe-coding apps, not website building. They don't automate the work; instead they give you an incomplete site with generic info and designs. You have to do hundreds of edits to finish a site. Not to mention they charge per edit!
Last year, we started building Repaint. It's purpose-built for professional marketing websites.
Key Features
Plan your site with AI — Repaint researches your business, interviews you on what you need, and generates a complete multi-page site in minutes.
Match any website's style — Give Repaint a link to a site you like, and it'll build you something similar.
Import your old site — Share a link to your existing website, and Repaint pulls in your pages, text, and images automatically (with page limits so we don't go bankrupt).
Chat-based editing — Make big changes through chat, like adding pages or updating info across your whole site. For small tweaks like fixing a typo, just click and edit inline.
Interactive components — Repaint can build things that are hard in traditional builders like pricing calculators, animated carousels, calendar embeds, and more.
Flat pricing — One monthly subscription. No per-update fees, no credits.
We still have a ton of ideas, but Repaint is already building sites that blow us away, and our beta users agree. So we decided it's time to open it up.

Is this site generation more closer to a portfolio site or an application site?

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 I just put Repaint to the test by building a developer portfolio from scratch. The 'Interview' flow is incredibly smooth, it actually makes the setup phase fun and solves the blank canvas problem perfectly.
I particularly appreciated how you handled the Version Control and the Context-Aware Re-prompting (asking for more technical copy worked like a charm).
Two suggestions for your roadmap that I think would take this to the next level:
Data-to-Component Sync: For professional sites, it would be a game-changer to prompt: "Sync my latest 3 GitHub repos into the Works section." Automating the content sourcing directly into the UI blocks would save hours of manual entry.
Block-Level Style Variations: Adding a simple 'Variation' toggle on individual sections (like the Hero or Contact blocks) would allow users to cycle through 3-4 different layout options without changing the whole site's vibe. It gives that extra bit of creative control while keeping the UI minimal.
Really impressed with the speed and the interactive components. Great job, team! Already upvoted!
