I just asked it to create a torque spec diagram of the suspension for my car, a subject I'm pretty familiar with. It amazingly drew everything correctly, displayed the correct torque figures and allowed me to click on individual components to zoom in further, providing more specs.
Genuinely one of the most impressive demos I've tried in a long time. I was able to use it almost like a living version of a classic illustrated Haynes workshop manual.

I love this approach, very Diamond Age. I uploaded a picture of my cat and learned a lot about coat genetics. I think it fixated on his coloration.

The demo on the main page suggests "Paris Travel Overview / Visiting Notre Dame", so I tried a couple of cities and places that I've actually been to.
If often identifies some of the points of interest correctly, but their spacial location relative to each other is completely insane. Like, not even close to reality.

Cool project, but just a side thought I was having about how do people have resources and the money to make things like this and make it avl for public, I mean it's fair to say they have their own GPUs or if they are using api keys for gpt or Gemini with enterprise subsidized inference
But still coming from a frugal background I still cannot wrap my head around this
Ah I was thinking this created the webpage itself, which I always thought was an interesting concept. Some future where the application is crafted in realtime to fulfill the needs of the user. Has anyone made something like this?
Interesting idea, but just about everything is failing for me. Probably the HN hug of death happening.

Congrats on the launch! This is an amazing product.
Something I would add is a panel with sources in case someone wants to have a deep dive in the information.
My 2 cents: This could be transformed to a state of the art teacher kind of product

Very cool as a demo. I tried something information-dense, a poker pre-flop chart for a specific stack depth (40BB BTN vs UTG rfi) and it was about what I expected. It doesn't even resemble a poker chart and there's no salvageable information as far as I can tell. Not really something this should be able to do though.
I applaud the idea and the technological part of that, but of course, as with all AI models, it produces utter slop once you go even a tiny bit outside of the learning data.
For example, here I asked for a mechanism of converting the circular motion to wing flapping, and it has no idea what to do at all.
The core problem with using AI to learn is that if you don't know about the specific area (which you don't, that's why you are learning it), it can (and absolutely will) fake knowledge without you ever noticing it, and be utterly wrong, disseminating false info, and teaching you (or your kids) wrong world models.

It's not really a website streamed live at all... It's just asking a model to generate an image with some web searches plus its built-in (trained knowledge)
You can do this with any agentic coding model now... just ask OpenAI codex : generate me an image given this query: "the query" and you will get the same kind of outputs.

I typed in the address of my childhood home, and breathed a sigh of relief when it showed a random home with solar panels and 'clean modern sustainable living' which my childhood home was not. Even added solar panels.
General design was correct, and it included the name of a town just nearby.
Not a surprising result, but made me reflect on what a weird world we now live in.

I love this because it articulates so well a precise vision of a world I don’t want to live in.
This is built from the collective works of all humans throughout history who have strived to make infographics, illustrations, and communicate knowledge - with 0 actual credit or reference to them (or financial compensation, if they’re still alive).
Instead, who is making money from this? Google, as providers of the model - and maybe the founders of this product, if they ever choose to monetize it somehow.
I’m not even going to get into how the results it produces have just enough “insight” to appear valid but the moment you inspect it up close, it’s completely wrong in most details, and replete with ornamentation that doesn’t actually add to meaning - a Potemkin village of knowledge - because the common answer to this criticism around here is “just wait 6 months bro the models will definitely solve all those problems”.
We are not better off investing billions of dollars in computers doing this over paying humans to write and illustrate and make cultural artefacts. We are not better off putting this in the hands of kids rather than meaningfully designed resources & curriculum designed by humans.
What are we even doing.
That’s the biggest problem with the current wave of AI tooling - it’s so easy to make a cool demo all while completely missing the point of what actually is good for human flourishing.

It's like "GPT is all you need for the backend" [1] on steroids
Great demo, interesting transitions and UI, but the model / generated information is definitely not correct.
Legend2440yesterday at 7:11 PM
Interesting idea and cool demo.
For this to really be practical you'd need a way to run networks many times faster and more efficiently than today's GPUs. This is too slow to work even with cloud GPUs powering it.
Maybe someday.

I like the visual style it produces, great for educational material. What is it called?
__MatrixMan__yesterday at 10:42 PM
This is fun. I started with "all hail the glow cloud" and now I'm clicking to wander around Nightvale. It's not exactly suprrising that it knows all of the lore, but it paints a pretty cohesive picture...
otterproyesterday at 9:29 PM
It's pretty cool. I created a beautiful isometric illustration of home garden, which is worthy of being featured in a real book or magazine. I really like the isometric view to explain things, and the color palette is consistent and pleasant.
deviantonyyesterday at 8:34 PM
Very cool project ! I fear this might have a pretty high hallucination potential (with current models) the deeper you dig into the base image/context and clicking on potentially unrelated elements in the image.
Nevertheless, love the idea.

This is not really working for me at all, the second images always look near identical to the first with some minor changes. Maybe my prompts are the issue? Anyone have some good prompts?
namanvyasyesterday at 8:25 PM
Couldn't get it to load (probably getting hammered right now) but the concept is interesting. Feels like one of those things where the tech needs to get 10x cheaper before it actually makes sense as a product.

This is one of the more unique ideas i've encountered in a long time

Great idea and execution!

Fun. Uploaded a Kookaburra and got an Encarta like experience zooming on different things.

It looks pretty nice - reminds me of Dorling Kindersley books. But the graphics, whilst stylised, are pretty hit-and-miss. Great idea, just a bit too soon.

This is so good and so fun! :D

The images I upload are displayed with an incorrect aspect ratio.
Neat project though!
farmeroyyesterday at 10:25 PM
I kind of find this absolutely infuriating for reality, but super fun for diagrams of things like 'interdimensional subcutaneous engineering' or whatever scifi/fantasy word salad you want to throw at it

This kind of thing would be great if we could have large local models sometime in the future.

This is real nice, wow. Congratulations.
This very well could be a sneak-peek into how educational resources might look like in the future.

So cool! People being critical of it not being accurate, but from a technology concept it’s super awesome.
tristoryesterday at 9:04 PM
This is very cool, if a bit glitchy right now (probably thanks to HN popularity). I used to this to generate infographics of the rear subframe, diff carrier, and rear suspension of my car and to get detailed specifications on the bushings, suspension members, and other components. Most of the information matches what I already know, and could be really useful if trained specifically on manufacturer/dealer shop manuals to create interactive models of vehicles you can drill to and get part numbers and specifications for any component on a car.
CrzyLngPwdyesterday at 8:39 PM
The worst part of this sort of slop is the attention it squanders by being glacially slow.
In the age of such enormous computing power, this sort of thing is pure waste.
MS Encarta CDs were faster and more in-depth.
DonHopkinsyesterday at 9:37 PM
This wins the internet.
I went from Cat Photos into History of Victorian Cat Photos With Props like Miniature Tea Sets And Velvet Chairs And Humorous Captions On Calling Cards In Visually Ironic Aristocratic Cooperplate Font The Victorian Meme Script With High Stakes Expectations Anchored In A World With Human Dignity As It Relates To Modern Memes in just a few clicks.
Oddly specific, but that was exactly what I needed to see today.
