I recently examined a website for MXMG, a company that builds AI-powered software. What's interesting isn't just what they do, but how their website was built. This professional site was created using artificial intelligence, specifically v0.
Built by AI in Minutes, Not Weeks
v0 is Vercel's AI website builder that turns simple descriptions into complete websites. You describe what you want, and it builds everything—no coding required. Looking at the MXMG site, it's clear v0 did most of the work. The clean design, portfolio sections, and professional layout were created by describing the vision in plain English.
The remarkable thing? You probably couldn't tell it was AI-generated. It looks professional and functions perfectly.
The Good: Speed, Cost, and Accessibility
AI website builders offer three major advantages. First is speed—what used to take weeks now happens in hours. MXMG could focus on their clients instead of wrestling with website code.
Second is cost. Professional web development can cost thousands and take months. AI tools create similar results for a fraction of the price, making quality design accessible to small businesses.
Third is accessibility. Not everyone can code, but most people can describe what they want. AI bridges that gap, democratizing web development.
The Not-So-Good: Limited Creativity and Customization
But let's be honest about the downsides. AI-generated sites often look familiar because they learn from existing websites. They follow trends rather than break new ground.
Customization is another challenge. Want something truly unique? AI tools struggle with highly specific or unusual requests. They're great at "good enough" but may fall short for groundbreaking design.
There's also the support question—when something goes wrong, you're somewhat at the mercy of the tool's limitations.
The Bottom Line
AI doesn't replace human creativity—it amplifies it. The MXMG website works because humans made smart decisions about content and messaging. AI handled the technical stuff, but people provided the vision and strategy that make websites truly effective.
The future isn't about choosing between AI and humans. It's about understanding when to use each. AI can handle the heavy lifting, but humans still provide the vision and strategy that make websites, software and CRMs truly effective. That's Real World Intelligence.
For businesses needing professional web presence quickly and affordably, AI tools like v0 are game-changers. Just remember: the best websites will always combine technological capability with human insight about what people actually need.
