Show HN: AI that extracts brand identity from websites to generate ads (board.ad)
3 points by salmandotweb 38 days ago | hide | past | favorite
I built this because I kept procrastinating on creating ads for my projects.

The technical challenge was interesting: how do you teach AI to extract "brand identity" from a website? Turns out websites are messy. Finding the actual logo vs random images, identifying brand colors vs generic link colors, understanding brand voice from homepage copy.

The solution: Custom vision models + CSS parsing + GPT-4 for voice analysis. You paste a URL, it extracts brand elements, generates platform-specific ads.

Not trying to "disrupt advertising" or anything dramatic. Just solving the specific problem of "I need a Facebook ad but Canva makes me want to cry."

Built with Next.js, custom image processing pipeline, OpenAI API. The brand extraction accuracy is around 85% for well-structured sites, lower for sites that are... creative with their CSS.

Happy to discuss the technical approach or share code snippets if anyone's curious about the brand extraction pipeline.
