Looks similar to The Grid’s semi-automated way of enabling non-professionals to create a website. Wix teaches the algorithm by feeding it many examples of high-quality modern websites. Moreover, it tries to make style suggestions relevant to the client’s industry.

An experiment by Adobe and University of Toronto. The tool automatically refines a design layout for you. It can also propose an entirely new composition. Similar ideas can be found in Sketchplore, MS PowerPoint, and Google Slides.

It chooses templates and content-presentation styles, and it retouches and crops photos — all by itself. Moreover, the system runs A/B tests to choose the most suitable pattern.

A home page generator using similar ideas. The algorithm finds every possible layout that is valid, combining different examples from a pattern library.

Next, each layout is examined and scored based on certain traits. Finally, the generator selects the “best” layout — basically, the one with the highest score.

An automated magazine layout system. A script parses an article. Then, depending on the article’s content (the number of paragraphs and words in each, the number of photos and their formats, the presence of inserts with quotes and tables, etc.), the script chooses the most suitable pattern to present this part of the article.
