Project Details
As described by Dylan:
"I was working specifically on website generation, vibe marketing style. So kind of looking at how we can use AI to make our websites be specific about the vibes that we want our products to give out."
He elaborated on a unique approach:
"Specifically, I think some of the stuff that came out was the way that websites generate content based on the feedback that you can give them so that your website is kind of like a window into your brand rather than just being like a place that people go get information and then go interact with your product."

Notes
Dylan is working on AI-driven website generation with a focus on creating sites that effectively convey specific emotional "vibes" rather than just presenting information. His approach seems to emphasize websites as dynamic expressions of brand identity that respond to user feedback.
This work is potentially significant for Alpha's marketing efforts, as websites are often the first substantive interaction potential students/parents have with a school. Creating sites that effectively convey the desired emotional experience could significantly impact conversion rates.
Gary expressed particular interest in Dylan's work, mentioning his own thoughts about personal websites and suggesting they could "jam on that" sometime. This indicates potential for deeper collaboration on website strategies.
Dylan's concept of websites as "windows into brands" rather than information repositories represents an interesting shift in thinking about web design that aligns well with modern marketing approaches focused on emotional connection rather than just feature presentation.
