Before using AI to build a website, define your brand first. The speaker walks through researching competitors with Manus, using ChatGPT to set hex color codes and visual style, then feeding that into tools like Nanobanana or Ideogram to generate logos. Skip this step and your site will look like every other AI-built site out there.

We have to have a talk. I know you're really excited that you can build your own website with AI, but all of these sites are starting to look exactly the same. Here are 3 tools that you should use before you go into any vibe coding project. I know you guys are getting sick of me, but it's Manus. You have to go to Manus and you have to ask it to do research on your competitors and have it create an entire competitive landscape and marketing strategy for you. Ask it to create some top of funnel content ideas as well as identify your personas. Then it's just good old ChatGPT. Ask it to help you create a brand look and feel with hex colors. Go ahead and take the description and you can upload those into Nanobanana and Gemini 3, or you can use this fun site that I like called Ideogram. I made all of these logos in Ideogram just based on descriptions from ChatGPT. And some of them are garbage, but some of them are great. And I had a lot of fun doing it. Before you get in there and get all excited and super based and lovable and all the things, stop and wait a minute and create your brand. I'd love to hear about what you're building. Tell me in the comments what you're making and what platform you like to build it on.
