Tutorial workflow: Landing page generation

  1. Ask the model to create a landing page.
  2. It asks clarifying questions, such as:
    • Landing page purpose/type: SaaS, mobile app, post, portfolio, event → user selects SaaS
    • Visual style: dark/modern/clean → user selects dark
    • Sections to include: hero, features, CTA, pricing table, testimonial, FAQ → user selects pricing table + testimonial + FAQ (and possibly more)
  3. The model then generates the page.

Output / Review of the Generated Landing Page

  • The generated result is shown as a highly polished SaaS-style landing page featuring:
    • Dashboard-like design
    • Cards and hover effects
    • Pricing section with monthly/yearly toggles
