Show HN: Greenonion.ai – AI-Powered Design Assistant

#1

Post by yanjiechg »

Hi HN

I’m excited to launch GreenOnion.ai — a platform that helps anyone create beautiful, editable design layouts instantly using AI.

A lot of “AI design” tools today generate images. GreenOnion doesn’t. You bring your own images — our AI handles the layout, composition, colors, and typography to turn them into cohesive, ready-to-use designs.

Every element is structured and editable — text, spacing, colors, hierarchy — not just pixels on a canvas. It’s real design generation, not image generation.

What it does:

Describe what you want (e.g. “modern poster for a coffee brand”)

AI builds a layout around your content and image

Edit and refine everything in the browser

Export for web, print, or campaigns

Why we built it: Design shouldn’t be locked behind complex tools or templates. If you can describe an idea, you should be able to see it take form — and still have full control to adjust it.

It’s live and working today: https://greenonion.ai

I’d love your feedback — whether it’s about the product, the concept, or where you think AI-driven design should go next.

Thanks for reading, — Yanjie Founder, GreenOnion.ai

I think the idea is pretty great – I'd use it!

But... pretty much every design in your customer design showcase has some major design problems, from a really basic graphic design POV.

I feel the the promise of this tool should be "you don't need to worry about your design eye, we've got that".

Based on those images, it doesn't feel like it lives up to that.

Yeah, agreed. The examples are more proof-of-concept than portfolio right now. The hard part isn’t generating layouts, it’s getting the AI to actually see good design. That’s what we’re working on next. Thanks!

Did you use the tool to design the website for the tool? There is a difference in the way the design looks and the customer showcase looks.

Nope — the site was hand-built. The showcase pieces were 100% AI-generated, which is why there’s a quality gap. Getting the tool to design as well as a human with taste is the next challenge.

Yeah the typography in general is very amateurish. The imagery is okay.
