Show HN: Greenonion.ai – the AI design tool Canva wishes it built
https://exuberant-premise-723012.framer.app/
Hi HNI’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
Also, this page breaks it's responsiveness at larger screen sizes, and put a lot of skepticism on the AI Design of this tool. :)
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.

Definitely lock it being a subscription tho
There's some irony in there somewhere I'm sure. I don't see the use case here, infact it's one of those subjects that I feel should be left to a human touch, but what do I know. AI slop is the new trend. Best of luck.
On mobile, the showcase is also not really visible.
I've seen a dozen frontpage posts this week that were nothing more than "look at this garbage Claude made for me." Can we get some new moderation rules to prevent slop on HN?
