Whether it's Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot, AI coding is becoming increasingly smooth, intelligent, and impactful. However, anyone who has used it knows that AI has difficulty coding a decent application from scratch. Compared to starting from scratch, AI is particularly adept at replicating and modifying existing models: if you provide a template and ask it to make changes, it can quickly develop an application that satisfies you.
BTW: I strongly believe in the statement above, which is why my website was also developed using a combination of templates and AI. Overall, I am very satisfied with it.
So, where can you find these templates? Hence, template0.com was created.
> Why do I think the opposite, that templates are static and AI is dynamic? With AI, template site traffic should decrease because people won't need templates to jumpstart; they'll have AI generate things more aligned with their needs.
From what I understand, AI still struggles with generating cohesive, comprehensive websites, and simple customization of templates can also be challenging for non-developers or those not familiar with the tech stack. The combination of AI coding and templates perfectly complements each other, making it very fast to launch a website like the one mentioned above. I've personally experienced that AI's auto-completion and editing capabilities are relatively high in usability.
This is also evident in the prompts we commonly use with AI assistants. Providing examples is a crucial technique to improve the accuracy of AI (LLM) Chat responses and is one that everyone uses frequently.
