🚀 The Big Picture: What Changed in 2025

This year, we fundamentally transformed how Airo™ Site Designer works. We didn't just add features—we rebuilt the entire experience to be twice as fast, more accurate, and incredibly more customizable. Here's what that means for you:

  • ⚡ Faster: AI responses that used to take 15-30 seconds now happen in under 10 seconds
  • 🎨 51 New Design Patterns: Professional layouts coming in August 2025
  • 📸 200,000+ Professional Images: Access to Getty's premium image library
  • 🎯 Real-time Previews: See your changes instantly as you customize

Early 2025: Building the Foundation

January - The Visual Revolution Begins

Professional Images at Your Fingertips We partnered with Getty Images to give you access to over 200,000 professional photos. No more generic stock photos—your bakery gets real bakery images, your consulting firm gets professional business shots.

Complete Design Control We introduced our customization suite:

  • Color Picker: Choose any color scheme that matches your brand
  • Font Pairing: Curated typography combinations that actually work together
  • Logo Upload: Add your brand identity with a simple drag-and-drop
  • Layout Options: Headers and footers that align with your style

February - Making It Personal

Three Ways to Create We simplified the getting-started experience with three clear paths:

  1. AI Chat: Describe your business and let AI build it
  2. Smart Templates: Choose from industry-specific templates
  3. Design Patterns: Pick professional layouts and customize

Theme System Upgrade Your website now uses modern theming technology, giving you more control over colors, fonts, and layouts while keeping everything looking professional.


Mid 2025: The Speed Revolution

March - Quality First

Better First Impressions We added quality checks to ensure your website preview always includes:

  • Meaningful content (not just placeholder text)
  • Relevant images from Getty or your uploads
  • Professional layout with proper sections

Smart Layout System New header and footer options let you choose how your navigation appears:

  • Left-aligned: Traditional, professional look
  • Centered: Modern, clean aesthetic
  • Right-aligned: Bold, contemporary style

April - The Interpreter Launch 🎉

This was our biggest update of the year. We introduced the AI Interpreter—think of it as giving Airo™ Site Designer a much smarter brain.

What This Means for You:

  • Faster responses: Cut waiting time in half
  • Better understanding: AI grasps what you want more accurately
  • Fewer mistakes: Dramatically reduced "that's not what I asked for" moments

Behind the Scenes Magic: Instead of processing requests one at a time, the Interpreter handles multiple tasks simultaneously—analyzing your business, finding images, creating content, and styling your site all at once.


Late 2025: Polish and Perfection

May-July - Intelligence Upgrade

Smarter AI Conversations The Interpreter got even smarter with specialized "agents" that handle different aspects of your site:

  • One agent focuses on your content and messaging
  • Another perfects your visual design
  • A third ensures your images tell the right story

Enhanced User Experience We refined the entire experience with:

  • Better Error Handling: Clear messages when something goes wrong
  • Smarter Input Validation: Prevents empty messages and improves chat flow
  • Customization Logic: Update buttons work more intuitively

August - The Pattern Revolution 🎉

51 Professional Design Patterns (Coming Soon!) This month, we're launching our biggest visual upgrade yet—a complete pattern library. Whether you're a restaurant, consultant, provide services, or something in between, you'll soon have access to professionally designed layouts that actually convert visitors into customers.

Smart Pattern Integration The patterns will be seamlessly integrated into the AI chat experience. Just describe what you need, and Airo™ will pick the perfect pattern automatically—no design experience required.

Intelligent Color System Alongside the pattern library, we're introducing an advanced color palette system that automatically creates harmonious color schemes for your brand, ensuring professional visual balance and accessibility compliance.
