I've been doing art my whole life. Used to run a design page on Instagram growing up, always obsessed with how brands look and why some just feel right visually.
When I started building software as a CS student I kept running into the same problem. I could ship a product in days but when it came time to market it I would just freeze. Making ads that actually looked like my brand was exhausting and I kept putting it off.
I built TraceUI at HackUSF because I genuinely believe good design has a logic to it. The colors, the fonts, the spacing, the patterns that make a brand instantly recognizable are not random. They can be read, understood and reproduced.
So I built an AI that does exactly that. You paste a URL, it reads the entire visual identity of that website, and generates ads and marketing assets that actually match that brand.
I wanted to give solo founders and small business owners the same marketing power that big brands have with full design teams.
You should not need a $5000 agency to make ads that look like your business made them.
I gave TraceUI a try and was genuinely surprised by the results, especially without even adding a prompt. I recently tested another tool with a pretty detailed prompt, and the output still wasn’t as strong as this.
I did notice a small issue on the pricing section, the “Get Started” button doesn’t seem to be working properly.
Overall, really nice idea and solid execution. Wishing you guys a great run!
This resonates deeply – the gap between shipping a product and actually marketing it well is where a lot of builders get stuck. Your observation about design having logic rather than being arbitrary is spot on, and automating that recognition piece solves a real friction point for founders who can't afford design help. The brand consistency angle alone addresses something that usually requires multiple rounds of feedback and revisions.
Congratz on launch, but just FYI, check the header animation. I am at 2560x1440p and the outcoming image stream on the right is cut off before it reaches the end of the page width (which I expect is the intended look), giving this broken look:
