Can Grok Build 0.1 do more than static landing pages?

That was the question we kept getting after creating 5 one-shot landing page examples.

So we threw the hardest interactivity prompt we could think of at it: build a 3D browser demo of a futuristic OS.

Here is how it did:

The xAI team did something incredible with Grok Build 0.1. It's next to impossible to get it to output a bad website. Great job guys!

[Kilo @kilocode]

We weren't done.

7 more sites we built with Grok Build 0.1 in Kilo Code: parrot translator, moon hotel booking, Pomodoro timer, CRT terminal, Shakespeare's GitHub, Tokyo weather, lemonade stand dashboard.

@EnTr0pY_88 @kilocode It uses Tailwind for a lot of the styling and tends to reach for Three.js/CSS animation libraries by default. You’ll need to prompt it more specifically if you want to steer it away from those defaults. It also seems to default to dark mode for most designs.

@plainscope @kilocode You need to dig into the source code for that, will do this separately with a blog post.

Grok Build 0.1 might be one of the most underestimated AI models right now.

We tested it in Kilo Code by asking it to build 5 websites from scratch.

Here are the results:

Grok Build 0.1 can BUILD.

I asked it to “build me a landing page for an AI coding company.”

40 seconds and $0.08 later, it came back with this.

Wow.

[Darko @TheBinaryNeuron]

Knowing how to code still matters.

Just wrote this post to demonstrate an (obvious) point.

Code is like a statements/loops/conditionals/patterns.

When you ask an AI agent to do all of this for you, it's going to make certain decisions. You won't be aware of those decisions if you don't know how to code.

[Kilo @kilocode]

Why knowing how to code still matters:

We asked DeepSeek V4 Pro to build a Next.js app that displays fun facts about dogs.

4 minutes later, the website was ready.

The site looked ready. The source code wasn’t. More details:

#1 Product of the Month on Product Hunt.

v7 of the VS Code Extension launched yesterday and is already #1 of the Month.

That's three #1s for Kilo Code in a few months:

1) JetBrains — #1 of the Day

2) Code Reviewer — #1 Day, #1 Week, #2 Month.

30 VS Code Extension v7 — #1 of the Month.

Open source can own the leaderboard <3

@fmerian @kilocode Even you were a bit nervous :P

[Darko @TheBinaryNeuron]

@CodeByPoonam They're making progress def.

Grok 4.3 cooks at canvas animations.

I used it with Kilo Code to build a 5k-particle canvas animation cycling through custom words, with:

– spring easing
– gradient trails
– mouse repulsion
– editable words + length in source code

It nailed everything on the first try. More:

LIke my goblin videos!

[Kilo @kilocode]

We put @sama’s claim that OpenAI has achieved artificial goblin intelligence to the test by…

giving GPT-5.5 five different goblin animation prompts.

Here are the results from the goblin eval:

@ai_for_success You're asking too much.

[Darko @TheBinaryNeuron]

Used Kilo Code's agent manager to run two versions in parallel inside VS Code.

Total cost: $0.11 total with reasoning mode on. Wild.

[Darko @TheBinaryNeuron]

The prompt: Build a canvas animation where 5,000 particles form the word 'Grok 4.3', then dissolve into chaotic motion, then reform into 'xAI'. Particles should ease in with damped spring physics and leave subtle trails. Mouse position repels nearby particles. Black background, particles in a soft cyan-to-magenta gradient based on velocity.

@wbadry Kilo has no limits. It's pay-per-use (you pay for tokens)

I asked Opus 4.7 to build me a traffic simulator.

It one-shotted it in under 100 seconds.

Used Kilo CLI to build this, here are more details:

@kitesdesign thanks!

3 Product Hunt launches in 12 months

2× #1 Product of the Day
1× #1 Product of the Week
1× #2 Product of the Month

Top 5 every single time.

This team knows how to launch.

Kilo CLI is an open-source fork of OpenCode and supports all major AI coding models. Try it here: https://t.co/WodsDA5h3c

[Darko @TheBinaryNeuron]

Kilo CLI came up with a plan and one-shotted the simulator in under 100 seconds:

- It spent 33,785 tokens
- Used 3% of the context window
- Total $ spent: $0.62
