“Every “page” you land on is an image. Click on anything in the image and you will get a new image exploring that thing in more depth. What you see contains no HTML, no code, no specific links or fields. The entire web is just generated pixels on your screen. [Note – there is a short lag time for response to each request. This is worth the time as the scope, specificity and documentation rendered in each search result is illuminating.]
- Is the text rendered by the image model too? All text on the screen is rendered as pixels by the image model. There are no text overlays applied to the images. Occasionally, the image model might render text imperfectly, or in the wrong place. That will get better as the models improve.
- Where does the information come from? The information in the images comes from a combination of an agentic web search and the image model’s own world knowledge. There may be occasional inaccuracies, but it’s a useful starting point and usually grounded in real data online. You can expect a similar level of factual accuracy to what you might get using ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude.
- Why are you doing this? A picture is worth a thousand words, yet we fill our screens with mostly text and colored rectangles.We built this because we saw another way. The walls of text and generative UIs being sold as the future felt like sipping an ocean of wisdom through a tiny straw.We wanted a computing experience full of rich beautiful visuals made just for us, generated just in time. The screen you’re reading this on is already presenting you an image, it’s just generated with rigid code and rules that makes it difficult to communicate complex and detailed ideas. Flipbook does away with this, and the benefit is that you can expect it will truly find the most effective way to communicate anything to you, independent of how hard it may be to write code to do it. If the most effective way to communicate something were a single word, an illustration, or a photorealistic rendering, that’s what you’d see…”
