Understanding AI Limitations
While Framekit's AI is powerful, understanding its limitations helps you work with it more effectively.
What AI Does Well
Visual Design
- Creating layouts and compositions
- Styling with colors, fonts, and spacing
- Building responsive designs
- Generating visually appealing components
Content Structure
- Organizing information logically
- Creating navigation patterns
- Building forms and interactive elements
- Structuring pricing tables and feature lists
Iteration
- Making targeted changes to existing components
- Fixing visual issues
- Adapting designs based on feedback
Current Limitations
Complex Functionality
AI creates visual components, not complex application logic. It can't:
- Build authentication systems
- Create database connections
- Implement payment processing
- Build real-time features
For these, you'll need additional development or integrations.
Exact Replication
AI interprets your prompts, it doesn't copy exactly:
- "Make it look exactly like Apple.com" won't produce an exact copy
- Results are inspired by your description, not pixel-perfect matches
Dynamic Data
AI creates static components. For dynamic content:
- Product feeds from external sources
- Real-time data updates
- User-generated content
You'll need to use built-in integrations or custom development.
Very Long Content
AI works best with concise content. Very long text or many items might:
- Take longer to generate
- Require breaking into multiple components
Working Within Limitations
Break Down Complex Requests
Instead of one massive component, create multiple simpler ones:
- Header component
- Content component
- Footer component
Use Placeholders
Let AI create the structure with placeholder content, then edit in your actual text and images.
Combine AI with Manual Editing
AI gets you 80% there, you can fine-tune the rest:
- Adjust exact colors in theme settings
- Edit text directly in components
- Swap placeholder images for real ones
