# Framer 3.0

> Framer started as a design tool and, with version 3.0, is finishing its transformation into a full AI website builder. The release adds Agents that generate and customize sites from natural-language instructions, Branching for trying out variations, and Community features, folding design, CMS, hosting, SEO and localization into a single stack. The appeal is consolidation. Instead of stitching together a designer, a developer, a hosting service and an SEO tool, a solo founder or small team can describe what they want and get a working, publishable site, then refine it visually. That collapses a workflow that used to require several specialists and tools into one place. It also stakes out a position in an increasingly crowded fight over who owns AI-assisted web creation, against both older site builders bolting on AI and new prompt-to-app startups. Framer's edge is that it already had serious design credibility, so its agents sit on top of a tool people trusted for craft. Whether the AI output is good enough to trust unedited is the question every builder in this space now has to answer.
