I rebuilt the first versions of tech giants with AI

Dear friends,

Are you curious about what the first versions of today’s tech giants look like? Such as Google and YouTube.

Thanks to AI, I’ve rebuilt these iconic websites. As we step into 2025, let’s take a journey through time and pay tribute to these timeless classics together.

    It's amazing. It belows my mind that google and yahoo look terribly plain at that time.

      Thanks! Totally agree. Even tech giants have a simple MVP at the very beginning.

    It's amazing how AI can bring the past back to life like this haha.

      I just go to sites like archive.org or versionmuseum.com to find old screenshots. Then I paste them into trickle.so with a simple prompt, like "Help me rebuild the 1998 Google website based on this image." Trickle AI will do it in seconds—super easy!

    Great creativity and the attention to details are something else. Great job, Kudos.
