Feedback for your site / AI Driven
I've been quite taken by some of the new gen AI stuff, so dusted off some old coding skills.
Saw a lot of people, both beginners and pros asking for feedback on new sites they'd launched and realised that most of the tools online for that purpose were a bit weak, or very niche/technical (eg. SEO type stuff).
So I created ConversionWhiz: https://conversionwhiz.com/
Aim was to give:
- real feedback/critique of any landing page
- give lots of actionable observations on how the page could be improved
- do it fast and for free
Would love any feedback on how it could be improved! Or feel free to ask any questions! :)

This tool is not useful. Its analysing the website on a mathematical understanding of the source code. Not to say you can't make money off of it, there might be people who believes the response at face value, but im sure most developers / entrepreneurs won't see value in it, and people who fill it in will most likely be out of curiosity.
My suggestion would be to focus on one core aspect of a website. Break your tool up into many tools and see what people use. For example, create tools for:
Hope this has been helpful. Don't fall into the trap of putting a "wrapper" on chatGPT, we're going to see alot of GPT based chatbots die over the year, people will figure out what's rubbish, what's a gimmick, and what is actually useful. More importantly, ALOT of free tools will come out that will just kill paid services
Pretty cool and i gotta gree at the moment its still a bit basic:
This is the feedback it gave me:
Observation: The website has a loading screen effect which can slow down the user experience.
Action: Consider reducing the duration of the loading animation or implementing a skeleton screen.
2
Observation: The website uses different container styles which can make the layout inconsistent.
Action: Simplify the layout by using consistent styles for containers and maintaining a grid-based layout.
3
Observation: The website's background image and animation may distract users from the content.
Action: Consider using a more subtle background image or reducing the size of the animation to keep the focus on the content.
4
Observation: The website includes multiple styles for individual elements, which can make it difficult to maintain consistency.
Action: Create a style guide that defines consistent styles for all elements on the website.
5
Observation: The website's forms lack feedback on user input validation, which can be frustrating for users.
Action: Implement real-time feedback for user input validation to help users correct errors as they occur.
What feedback would you give for https://autory.ai/?
Really cool concept though
mm.. i just tested it for some sites. And though the feedback maybe empirically correct, it did not add value. It was like, it missed the point.
What AI are you using? as it does not seem that smart.
The experience fm after reading the result, was like I was talking to a robot who does not understand human interaction.
Interesting, thanks for trying it! It's using OpenAI. But to get it to work it has to do some pretty weird stuff as obviously can't handle it out of the box.
Feedback useful though, what kind of info would have been helpful? i.e. what did you hope it would have given you?
It needs to give suggestions in context. It is like it has missed the context of the LP for a site all together. WAs actually quite an ugly result from the websites entered. I would be horrified if youngsters took what the tool gave it too heart. Not very helpful in my book.
I am chatgpt subscriber, so did you use GPT4. What are prompting .. as its missing it.
GPT4 in my experience has excellent context after a few rounds of dialogue. It cannot assess context but retain context.
So to summarise: you mean it doesn't seem to appreciate the overall context of the page? That's helpful. It's non-trivial to get it to get full context of the page from just the URL (given the vast differences page by page and do it in a way that's fast enough) - chatGPT is fine, but the use case is different as you can go back and forth a lot, here we've got one shot from one URL and a minute or so to give you the result.
But can see what you're saying, challenge is doing this repeatedly for every site and reliably. Will see if we can get it to appreciate the bigger picture more.
mm.. i think so.
it is actually same problem most devs are missing. they are not zooming out sufficiently to whole of LP. and then put themselves in a citizen shoes (a person bothering to land on their page, like a person walking past a shopfront... they are just walking on by)
context challenges are everywhere, but we dont realise as, us humans, process context so fast we dont tend to cognitize it (e.g. hear ourselves thinking the thoughts).
then.. only then.. is feedback, within this context can be insight generating / aka helpful
can. you see the sites, that people are testing ?
unless you like being a detached robot, of course
