TL;DR: Replay leverages video analysis and AI to generate fully functional, multi-page websites directly from screen recordings, offering a unique behavior-driven approach to code generation.

The dream of instantly turning an idea into a working website is closer than ever. But the current landscape of AI-powered website builders often falls short. Screenshot-to-code tools are limited by static images, missing the dynamic interactions that define a user's journey. Replay changes that. We're not just looking at pictures; we're watching the movie.

Revolutionizing Website Generation with Behavior-Driven Reconstruction#

Replay introduces a revolutionary approach: Behavior-Driven Reconstruction. Instead of relying on static screenshots, Replay analyzes videos of user interactions to understand the intent behind the design. This allows us to generate not just a visual representation, but a fully functional, multi-page website that accurately reflects the intended user experience.

What is Behavior-Driven Reconstruction?#

Imagine you're recording yourself navigating through your ideal website design. You click buttons, fill out forms, and explore different pages. Replay captures all of that. Our AI engine, powered by Gemini, analyzes this video to understand the underlying behavior – the sequence of actions, the data flow, and the intended outcome of each interaction. This understanding is then used to generate clean, efficient, and functional code.

💡 Pro Tip: The clearer and more deliberate your video recording, the more accurate and complete the generated code will be. Think of it as providing instructions to a highly skilled developer.

Key Features of Replay#

Replay goes beyond simple code generation; it offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to streamline the website creation process:

•Multi-page Generation: Create complete websites with multiple interconnected pages, all from a single video recording.
•Supabase Integration: Seamlessly integrate with Supabase for backend functionality, including database management and authentication.
•Style Injection: Customize the look and feel of your website by injecting custom CSS styles.
•Product Flow Maps: Visualize the user journey through your website with automatically generated product flow maps.
•Video as Source of Truth: Ensure accuracy and consistency by using video recordings as the primary source of information.

Replay vs. the Competition: A Head-to-Head Comparison#

While several AI-powered website builders exist, Replay's video-centric approach sets it apart. Here's how Replay stacks up against some of the leading alternatives:

Feature	Screenshot-to-Code Tools	Low-Code Platforms	Replay
Video Input	❌	❌	✅
Behavior Analysis	❌	Partial	✅
Multi-Page Generation	Limited	✅	✅
Backend Integration	Limited	✅	✅ (Supabase)
Custom Styling	Limited	✅	✅
Code Quality	Varies	Often Complex	High
Learning Curve	Low	Medium	Low

📝 Note: "Screenshot-to-Code Tools" refers to services that generate code from static images, while "Low-Code Platforms" provide visual interfaces for building applications.

Generating a Website with Replay: A Step-by-Step Guide#

Here's a practical example of how you can use Replay to generate a stunning website from a video recording:

Step 1: Record Your User Flow#

Record a video of yourself navigating through the desired user flow of your website. Be sure to clearly demonstrate all the key interactions, such as clicking buttons, filling out forms, and navigating between pages. Speak clearly and explain what you are doing.

⚠️ Warning: Ensure the video is clear and well-lit. Poor video quality can impact the accuracy of the generated code.

Step 2: Upload and Analyze#

Upload the video to Replay. Our AI engine will analyze the video and extract the relevant information, including the page structure, UI elements, and user interactions.

Step 3: Review and Refine#

Review the generated code and make any necessary adjustments. Replay provides a user-friendly interface for editing the code and customizing the design.

Step 4: Deploy Your Website#

Once you're satisfied with the result, deploy your website to your preferred hosting provider. You can also integrate with Supabase for backend functionality, such as user authentication and data storage.

Example Code: Fetching Data with Supabase#

Here's an example of how you can use Supabase to fetch data and display it on your website, generated seamlessly by Replay:

typescript
// Example of fetching data from Supabase
import { createClient } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

const supabaseUrl = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_URL';
const supabaseKey = 'YOUR_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY';
const supabase = createClient(supabaseUrl, supabaseKey);

const fetchData = async () => {
  const { data, error } = await supabase
    .from('your_table')
    .select('*');

  if (error) {
    console.error('Error fetching data:', error);
    return [];
  }

  return data;
};

// Use fetchData to display data on your website

💡 Pro Tip: Replay automatically detects and integrates with Supabase if it observes you interacting with a Supabase project in your video.

Frequently Asked Questions#

Is Replay free to use?#

Replay offers a free tier with limited features and usage. Paid plans are available for users who require more advanced functionality and higher usage limits.

How is Replay different from v0.dev?#

While both tools aim to generate code from visual inputs, Replay distinguishes itself by analyzing video of user interactions, enabling a deeper understanding of user intent and behavior. V0.dev primarily uses text prompts and UI component descriptions. Replay also offers features like multi-page generation, Supabase integration, and product flow maps, which are not available in v0.dev.

What types of websites can Replay generate?#

Replay can generate a wide range of websites, including landing pages, e-commerce sites, portfolios, and blogs. The key is to provide a clear and comprehensive video recording of the desired user flow.

What kind of video should I upload?#

Your video should clearly show the desired functionality and design of your website. Make sure your mouse movements are deliberate and your clicks are obvious. Speak aloud and explain your actions. The higher the quality of the video, the better the generated code will be.
