Show HN: Phind.design – Image editor & design tool powered by 4o / custom models

https://phind.design
20•rushingcreek•6h ago
Hi HN,

Today we’re launching phind.design (https://phind.design), an image editor and design tool that uses 4o and custom models to allow users to generate and edit designs for anything from logos and advertisements to creative website and app designs.

4o is great at producing a first version of an image, but is not capable of editing it without messing up other parts of it. We fix this by running Flux Kontext alongside 4o image gen in the chat, as well as by introducing a precision editor powered by custom models where a user indicates an area to modify and we guarantee that only that area will be modified.

Our precision editor is state-of-the-art on image editing in our tests and allows inserting new additional images into the existing image. The latter allows users to insert a logo, product, or face into an image without messing up other parts of the image, and even fix logos and faces that were messed up by 4o. Text editing with the precision edit model is still a work in progress, and we will fix it with the next iteration of that model. We recommend using the chat for editing text for now.

Example: Insert UT Austin logo into helicopter ad (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd27o2n10001l704h6865f3u)

We also always produce multiple variations for image generations and edits, as we think this variety is important for getting exactly what you asked for.

Example: Paul Graham in startup heaven (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23h91c000jky04no5d92uy)

One thing we’re excited about is adding more variation into AI-generated websites, as many website builders all use the same CSS libraries, so many websites end up looking the same. We hope to allow builders and creatives to make truly unique designs in 1/10th the time it currently takes with existing tools.

Example: Make me a popeyes landing page where the eyes are actually popping out (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd25imtm0001jr046nsag4lu) Example: A train map with sandwich ingredients replacing subway stops. (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23i98c0001ie04l56npyj3)

As engineers who have been frustrated by the time commitment it takes to learn Figma or Photoshop, we hope that phind.design makes it incredibly easy to go from zero to one on your wildest creative ideas.

The editor is far from perfect, particularly when it comes to text. We are working on it and have a new custom precision editing model on the way. In the meantime, we’re excited to hear your comments and feedback!

Can anyone comment if Phind is working again? I was on a pro plan and ended up switching to perplexity because it was unusable for over a week.

just send the query multiple times by clicking the question text then pressing enter to resend, usually third time's the charm for me. has been like this for a few weeks, the queries sometimes just error.

Founder here. Sorry to hear that. Let me know if you are still getting errors.

Nice! I've been playing around with different interfaces for OAI image gen (supports flux and gemini too): https://www.hitslop.com/

Its hard for me to get past the name. It's like naming a ceramics manufacturer "punch brittle".

Love the idea of local keys and appreciate your video explaining it! What do you use to record that style of video?

Cool!

Some feedback: it's too easy to get into a "dead chat".

> Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request.

No way to retry or resubmit or edit anything to get things moving again. Too terminal.

If I just type "try again" (lacking a retry mechanism), having it say "Here is the current image I'm working with" seems unexpected (my follow-up request was going to be for 4 entirely new variations with more specific aspects)

If I go back to the home page and attempt to begin what I imagined is a new chat, it appends this new message onto the previous chat's history. Not sure if that's a visual / caching bug, but it's also jarring

Thanks, this is good feedback! I'll take a look.

Text editing is the most important part

The text editing should work well in the chat -- did you have a chance to give it a try?
