Build a website by chatting with AI

Repaint lets you build professional websites by chatting with AI. It interviews you, researches you online, and generates a custom websites. Then you can edit anything by asking the AI.

Repaint: The AI Website Builder
See original launch post

We’re Ben and Izak, and we’re proud to introduce the new Repaint (S23).

Repaint is the best AI tool for creating professional marketing websites. You chat with Repaint, plan the style and pages, and import your content. Then Repaint generates a custom website in minutes.

The Problem
AI coding tools are incredibly powerful now, but most people still make websites with Wix and Squarespace. Vibe coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Replit can generate a webpage from a prompt in a few minutes, but beyond that they’ve focused more on app building than marketing sites:

  • They generate single pages with generic content, leaving you to build the rest.
  • The visual style is hard to control, with few resources for inspiration.
  • They surface technical details like code, hosting providers, and github integrations.
  • They charge per edit, so finishing a large marketing site is expensive.

There’s no major AI tool focused on making polished websites for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and marketers. That’s what we’re building.

The Solution
Repaint is an AI website builder designed to get you to a finished site, not just a starting point.

  • It starts by learning about you. Repaint interviews you about your business, what pages you need, and what style you're going for. It can research your company online and import existing content.
  • You control the style. You can pick a theme, provide reference links, and upload inspiration images. Or, you can let Repaint design it for you.
  • It generates a complete site. Repaint makes full websites with your real information. And it can recreate the same pages from an existing website.
  • You edit with chat. Restyle the whole site, add pages, update info across every page, redesign sections.
  • It writes real code. So it can build things template-based builders can't like custom animations, interactive components, calculators, and complex forms.
  • Flat monthly pricing. No per-edit credits.

We opened Repaint about a month ago, and we’ve had hundreds of people make sites for tons of different businesses including YC startups, bakeries, cycling coaches, and more.

Our Background
Repaint is actually our second website builder. During YC S23, we built a different website builder with a drag-and-drop interface inspired by Figma. Despite our best efforts, we never got it off the ground. The existing website builders were already heavily optimized, and the AI wave was rapidly making manual no-code tools obsolete.

But those years gave us deep expertise in web layout, editor UX, and what actually makes people give up on building a site. We think that's exactly what AI website building needs — not just better models, but a team that understands the challenges well enough to make it reliable.
