There are dozens of experiments running, with new experiments added every hour, based on the previous results

A/B testing for consumer-facing user experience is best when you have a hypothesis of what will make the experience better and then testing it, rather than trying random shit and throwing paint at the wall.

For instance, the typography is pretty poor on the site. One of the first hypotheses I would validate are things around improving legibility.

    Good idea, I can try different fonts

      Did you not notice the poor legibility?

        Did you try randomizing the experiments? Did you mean the base version or one of the crazier themes?

Did you start with this or was it AI just starting random and then the website will create itself over time based on A/B tests and feedback?

    The initial variants were created by humans, then Claude used them as a starting point to generate more. You can see the data for each experiment. It'll automatically shut down the failing experiments and create new variants similar to the successful ones
