- Flint claims its sites can be generated and optimized without human intervention
- Users upload a summary and Flint automatically creates encrypted pages on active domains
- The startup has raised $5 million from Accel and Sheryl Sandberg’s fund
A new startup has announced a plan to create fully autonomous websites that can “generate” their own pages and “optimize” themselves without human intervention.
Flint’s platform already runs live pages for companies like Cognition, Modal, and Graphite, producing comparison pages, ad landing pages, and AI-generated SEO content.
Users only need to upload a summary of content and a link to their existing site for Flint to interpret the brand’s design system and automatically publish coded pages directly to their domain.
A new era of autonomous websites
“It’s time to do away with the traditional website. We are moving from a world of websites as static assets to one where they are autonomous agents. Your website is autonomous or obsolete,” said Michelle Lim, co-founder and CEO of Flint.
Early numbers claim strong SEO rankings and faster ad conversions, although the data remains limited to company reporting.
Flint has raised $5 million in seed funding led by Accel, along with Sheryl Sandberg’s venture fund and Neo.
The funds will support the expansion of applied artificial intelligence and design engineering, as the company moves out of its stealth phase with a waiting list for its beta program.
Investors describe Flint as part of a new wave of digital infrastructure aimed at keeping pace with AI-driven changes in online marketing and discovery.
This combination of AI and website design points to a future where free website builders and AI website builders evolve beyond static templates into systems capable of constantly adapting.
“The web is being disrupted by AI, and companies need to adapt their websites quickly if they want them to remain effective marketing and acquisition channels,” said Sheryl Sandberg, co-founder of Sandberg Bernthal Venture Partners.
“Flint is building the next generation of infrastructure that will solve this challenge, shaping discoverability and online advertising for the AI generation.”
However, the long-term implications remain unclear, especially when it comes to how self-modifying websites might interact with search engines like Google.
Flint’s vision is ambitious: websites that detect competitor activity, modify the design based on visitor profiles, and even communicate directly with AI agents.
“Marketers are severely underserved by outdated tools. Flint finally gives them AI superpowers to compete,” said Dan Levine, partner at Accel.
However, full autonomy in web systems could present challenges around control, transparency, and compliance with optimization standards.
The concept could also reshape the way traditional free website builders and AI website builders operate if it proves viable.
For now, Flint’s idea adds to a growing debate about the role of automation in website design, raising the question of whether the web can remain predictable once it starts updating.
