Turn any live site's animation into your own components

Point Platho at any live site and it rebuilds that section in your codebase, animation included. Unlike taking a screenshot, it reads the running page, so it gets the real animation. Then it puts your content in. A jet became a burger. A Tokyo diorama became a desk. For freelancers who get sent a link and told "make ours like this." And for anyone tired of AI slop landing pages that all look the same. Drop a URL and we'll run it and post what comes back.
Hi PH, Azam here, building this with Edmond. Really excited to finally share Platho with you.
You already know what a purple-blue gradient on a landing page implies. However long your prompt might get, the AI signs still show up. That isn't the model ignoring you, it's sampling. It returns the middle of the distribution, and prompting only moves you around inside it.
So we pointed AI to real award winning sites instead. The layout came back close, but the animation came back dead. Why? Because a screenshot doesn't contain animation, a video only shows you what the motion looks like but not how it was built. So the model invents the part that makes a site feel expensive, and makes it feel average.
Platho measures the live page and writes that section into your project with your content in it, in whatever framework your codebase already uses.
Clearest example is the jet. Jesko Jets is an Awwwards Site of the Day, a private jet charter. We pointed Platho at it and got back a burger brand. It had the same split headline, the same reveal, and the same scroll feel with only the subject being changed. A rotating Tokyo street diorama came back as a desk.
Two kinds of people need this. If you build for yourself, it's the slop problem. If you build for clients, it's "make ours like this, with our branding" which I used to bill 3-4K EUR for. It took weeks, and getting the animation right was the hardest part.
Drop a URL below and we'll rebuild it with your brand in it and post what comes back. What's the site whose animation you'd take if you could?
Really excited to finally share Platho here. We started building it because recreating a frontend from screenshots always felt way harder than it should be. You can get the general idea pretty quickly, but then you end up spending ages fixing spacing, typography, animations, responsiveness, and all the small details.
With Platho, you can give it the actual website URL and let it analyze the site before recreating the frontend. The goal is to get much closer to the original without having to babysit an AI through dozens of prompts.
It’s still early, so we’re very much looking for feedback and weird edge cases. If you try it, throw a website at it that you think would be difficult to recreate and let us know how it does. Would love to hear what you think!
