AI-built portfolio shows what creators can do with a free tool and a free afternoon

A new videography portfolio called Tom Gunst has become the latest example of what creators are building with Caffeine AI’s website generator. The site was built by user @ZeroFuxBJ, who admitted he had put off creating a proper portfolio for years before deciding to try the tool. What surprised him most was how quickly he could shape the entire project with free credits and a handful of targeted edits.

He said Caffeine’s builder removed the usual friction that comes with trying to design and maintain a personal website. The system generates layouts through prompts, then lets the user refine almost every part of the page structure. He used around 50 free credits to produce the full Tom Gunst site, add custom functions and deploy it directly to the Internet Computer’s decentralised cloud.

The finished portfolio includes features freelancers usually need a developer to set up. There’s an admin login for uploading new projects, space for custom thumbnails, titles and descriptions, and the choice between storing videos through ICP Blob storage or embedding them from YouTube. He also added drag-and-drop sorting so projects can be rearranged in seconds, plus a hide and unhide toggle for private client previews.

He said the strongest appeal is ownership. The site is his to adjust whenever he wants without subscription plans or platform restrictions. Because it runs on ICP cycles, it only draws resources when someone actually visits it, which removes the pressure of monthly hosting fees.

He did note a drawback. Videos stored directly on-chain didn’t play as smoothly as he hoped, so YouTube embeds act as a temporary fix. The issue has been raised by other users and developers say improved native playback remains a priority.

Reactions in the community point to familiar themes. The builder offers an unusually low barrier for people who want control over their own web presence, yet users continue to share clear feedback on where performance can improve. For now, tools like this are shifting expectations of what a no-code afternoon can produce, and Tom Gunst is emerging as a neat example of that transition.
