Building websites no longer has to start from a blank canvas or endless boilerplate. With GrapesJS AI, you can generate complete websites using prompts, existing documents, and visual editing workflows.
In this article, I walk through how GrapesJS AI can be used to build different types of websites quickly and practically — based on a recent hands-on video tutorial.
What Is GrapesJS AI?
GrapesJS is a visual web builder known for its flexible drag-and-drop editor and extensibility. With AI added into the workflow, it becomes even more powerful — helping you generate layouts, content, and entire pages using prompts or existing assets.
Instead of manually assembling every section, GrapesJS AI helps you:
- Convert documents into structured web pages
- Generate layouts and sections automatically
- Modify and extend designs visually
- Move faster without losing control of the output
It’s a solid middle ground between traditional frontend development and no-code tools.
Use Case 1: Resume (PDF) to Personal Website
One of the most interesting workflows is turning a resume PDF into a personal website.
Using GrapesJS AI, you can:
- Upload or reference a resume document
- Generate a structured personal website layout
- Automatically map sections like About, Experience, Skills, and Contact
- Visually tweak the design using the editor
This is especially useful for developers, designers, and freelancers who want a quick online presence without redesigning their resume from scratch.
Use Case 2: Cloning Existing Websites
Another practical feature is website cloning.
In the video, I show how GrapesJS AI can help recreate existing website layouts by:
- Analyzing page structure
- Rebuilding sections using editable components
- Allowing you to customize content and styling
This isn’t about copying blindly — it’s about using existing designs as a starting point and adapting them to your own needs.
Use Case 3: Building Landing Pages with AI
Landing pages are one of the most common website needs, and GrapesJS AI makes this straightforward.
You can:
- Prompt the AI to generate a landing page layout
- Get pre-structured sections like hero, features, testimonials, and CTA
- Adjust spacing, colors, and content visually
This is ideal for startups, product launches, and quick experiments where speed matters.
Use Case 4: Using GrapesJS Starter Templates
If you prefer not to start from AI-generated layouts, GrapesJS also provides starter templates.
These templates:
- Give you a solid design foundation
- Are fully editable with the visual editor
- Work well when combined with AI-generated content
In the tutorial, I show how templates and AI can be used together rather than as separate workflows.
Who Is This For?
This approach works well for:
- Frontend developers who want to prototype faster
- No-code and low-code builders
- Founders validating ideas
- Freelancers building client websites
- Anyone curious about AI-assisted web development
You still maintain control over structure and design — the AI just removes a lot of repetitive work.
Final Thoughts
GrapesJS AI isn’t about replacing developers. It’s about speed, iteration, and flexibility.
By combining AI generation with a visual editor, you can move from idea to working website much faster — whether that’s a personal portfolio, landing page, or cloned layout you plan to customize.
