Show HN: Greenonion.ai – AI-Powered Design Assistant

https://exuberant-premise-723012.framer.app/
36•yanjiechg•4mo ago
Hi HN

I’m excited to launch GreenOnion.ai — a platform that helps anyone create beautiful, editable design layouts instantly using AI.

A lot of “AI design” tools today generate images. GreenOnion doesn’t. You bring your own images — our AI handles the layout, composition, colors, and typography to turn them into cohesive, ready-to-use designs.

Every element is structured and editable — text, spacing, colors, hierarchy — not just pixels on a canvas. It’s real design generation, not image generation.

What it does:

Describe what you want (e.g. “modern poster for a coffee brand”)

AI builds a layout around your content and image

Edit and refine everything in the browser

Export for web, print, or campaigns

Why we built it: Design shouldn’t be locked behind complex tools or templates. If you can describe an idea, you should be able to see it take form — and still have full control to adjust it.

It’s live and working today: https://greenonion.ai

I’d love your feedback — whether it’s about the product, the concept, or where you think AI-driven design should go next.

Thanks for reading, — Yanjie Founder, GreenOnion.ai

Just a heads up, you linked to your framer directly instead of your brand.

Also, this page breaks it's responsiveness at larger screen sizes, and put a lot of skepticism on the AI Design of this tool. :)

jdiff•4mo ago
The page itself is a showcase of their human designers' abilities. Still instills a lack of confidence with a lot of similar implications, but of a different flavor profile.
yanjiechg•4mo ago
fair, though you should’ve seen the first version
esafak•4mo ago
I think you specifically mean graphic design; not web- or product.
airza•4mo ago
Did you use the tool to design the website for the tool? There is a difference in the way the design looks and the customer showcase looks.
yanjiechg•4mo ago
Nope — the site was hand-built. The showcase pieces were 100% AI-generated, which is why there’s a quality gap. Getting the tool to design as well as a human with taste is the next challenge.
brazukadev•4mo ago
well, that is the minimum threshold you need to cross to have a product, otherwise you just wrapped chatgpt and that is a 2023 thing.
skellystudios•4mo ago
I think the idea is pretty great – I'd use it!

But... pretty much every design in your customer design showcase has some major design problems, from a really basic graphic design POV.

I feel the the promise of this tool should be "you don't need to worry about your design eye, we've got that".

Based on those images, it doesn't feel like it lives up to that.

yanjiechg•4mo ago
Yeah, agreed. The examples are more proof-of-concept than portfolio right now. The hard part isn’t generating layouts, it’s getting the AI to actually see good design. That’s what we’re working on next. Thanks!
mock-possum•4mo ago
Yeah the typography in general is very amateurish. The imagery is okay.
albumen•3mo ago
"A lot of “AI design” tools today generate images. GreenOnion doesn’t. You bring your own images"
vcanales•4mo ago
Hugged to death, I think
yanjiechg•4mo ago
Exactly that. I pushed a new feature a few minutes before the post blew up, and of course it had a bug. Sorting it out now, should be back up shortly.

> Design shouldn’t be locked behind complex tools or templates.

Definitely lock it being a subscription tho

etchalon•4mo ago
I would not trust this tool to generate client-ready designs based solely on the design of its home page.
sussmannbaka•4mo ago
props for picking "realistic" results but if you want to attract users you should probably cherry pick better ones or cheat. all of those look horrible.
invisblecitizen•4mo ago
I gave it a try since I need a product to dynamically generate ads to test for all the top platforms for my startup mintmcp.com. This is a real use case and I was hopeful but the product is far from meeting the bar I'd consider valuable for my specific use case. The issues were numerous: Onboarding was not intuitive, I wanted assistance knowing how to best fill out the forms, project structure was somewhat confusing but I muddled through. The biggest issue is the output didn't meet my standards. Typography just wasn't sophisticated enough. Elements were truncated, There seems to be no real awareness of the image content which I am hoping AI can deal with at some point. Overall the output wasn't usable. I'll keep an eye out to track your progress. Good luck!
bilekas•4mo ago
> We don’t rely on templates — each design is uniquely created by AI, just for you.

There's some irony in there somewhere I'm sure. I don't see the use case here, infact it's one of those subjects that I feel should be left to a human touch, but what do I know. AI slop is the new trend. Best of luck.

zwaps•3mo ago
Scrolling initially I thought: Design of what?

On mobile, the showcase is also not really visible.

markr1•3mo ago
Building great design tools is hard, but I love that you're tackling this step by step. Starting with layouts is smart.
Mizza•3mo ago
This looks like dogshit.

I've seen a dozen frontpage posts this week that were nothing more than "look at this garbage Claude made for me." Can we get some new moderation rules to prevent slop on HN?

How is the accessibility for screen readers of the generated web code?
