For a long time, I've wanted a tool that could review a design portfolio the way real people do.
Not just another score.
Not generic AI feedback.
The kind of feedback you'd get from a recruiter deciding whether to keep scrolling, a product designer judging your craft, or a UX lead looking for evidence of impact.
So for the Framer Agents Hackathon, I built a prototype of that idea:
First Impression AI.
The concept is simple:
Paste a portfolio link.
Get feedback from three different perspectives:
• Recruiter • Product Designer • UX Lead
But while building it, I realized something.
The most useful feedback wasn't the polite feedback.
It was the brutally honest feedback.
That's how Brutal Mode was born.
Some examples:
"Your hero section tells me you're a designer. The fact that you're on a design portfolio already told me that."
"Your visual hierarchy is playing hide and seek. It's currently winning."
"This homepage is a beautiful trailer for a movie that never starts."
"Your portfolio has main-character energy but supporting-character evidence."
What agents helped with
Framer Agents helped me rapidly prototype the experience, structure the reviewer personas, refine the feedback framework, and iterate on the product much faster than I could have on my own.
What surprised me most is how quickly agents made it possible to turn an idea I've had for years into something interactive that people can actually try.
The current version is an early prototype, but the vision is clear:
Help designers understand the first impression they're actually making.
And occasionally roast them for it.
I'd love for designers to try it, break it, share their favorite roast, and tell me where the idea should go next.
