Squarespace was leaning heavily on 'AI generated websites' only a few years ago. Just add content (text, images and such) and Squarespace's AI magic would turn it into a wonderful website. I just now had a look at their website and it does not have any reference to AI at all.

Very surprising. Or maybe understandable: I am not sure if 'AI generated' is a thing to a non-IT person. It sounds complicated. Maybe that is what Squarespace learned.

I am very sure the two people that asked me for an advice in the past days would not care. 'Easy', 'cheap' and maybe 'drag-and-drop' might do it. 'E-commerce', 'onine shop' even more.

The "AI" bit is for investors.
And for a non-IT person.
Thanks for your insights!

We are working in order to make our website builder the fastest and easiest way to go online.

In addition to easy to use drag and drop, e-commerce and other essential features we introduce AI tools in order to help our users to launch their websites even faster.

It seems like Squarespace has an AI powered chatbot on HN, too.
