Lightspeed’s Generative AI web builder creates bespoke websites based on screenshot examples, eliminating the need for manual coding; helping retailers save both time and money

Lightspeed Commerce Inc., the one-stop commerce platform empowering merchants to provide the best omnichannel experiences, announced a cutting-edge new AI-driven website building tool, designed to help retail merchants generate web pages from a simple screen grab.

No need for manual coding or third party developers. This innovative tool lets retailers create custom web elements without coding by using AI to analyze screen captures and generate production-ready code. Merchants simply describe or show Lightspeed’s Website Builder what they want using real-world examples, and the tool builds them fully integrated, professional-looking online stores with speed and ease.  This democratization of web building can save retailers time and money, reduce complexity, and deliver beautifully on-brand websites in minutes.

“Designing a website in-house can be time-consuming, frustrating, and complex for many merchants. Without design expertise or coding skills, they can often spend significant time experimenting with layouts, adjusting branding elements, and troubleshooting issues to get their store looking just right,” said Dax Dasilva, Founder and CEO at Lightspeed. “Our goal is to remove the friction from website design and give merchants the power to iterate at the speed of commerce. This AI-driven technology is a leap forward in ecommerce efficiency, which can help businesses of all sizes create compelling digital experiences effortlessly.”

“As a self-taught entrepreneur, I built my web store from the ground up but would often hit roadblocks due to my skills and available tools. With this new solution, I’ve been able to create custom sections that perfectly match my vision—without needing external help,” said Ryan Pratt, Owner of Colorado-based shoe store Treadz. “AI can be a game-changer for my online business, and I’m excited to see how Lightspeed is bringing these innovations into their platform.”
