Make App Store screenshots with an AI image generator
Didn't work: it often changed the app's UI and can't be edited or localized
Failedaso
What they did
The founders tried having AI generate finished screenshot images.
What happened
The AI often altered the app's UI (misleading, risk of Apple rejection); changing one word means regenerating the whole image, and localized versions don't match. Guest now only uses AI for style ideas.
- Effort
- tried; no volume given
“we tried it and it very often changes your UI”
“when you want to change a word, you have to create the whole thing over again”
