Get a sneak peek of our latest treat: a new AI theming tool that can bring all your favorite Halloween vibes to life in your UI.
Halloween is usually all about things that are scary—but how about something that’s scary smart? This Halloween, I’m excited to be able to give everyone a sneak peek at something super cool that we’ve been working on: our brand-new, AI theming tool!
Here at Progress, we have an annual internal hackathon where folks from across all our various teams and products group up and challenge themselves to build something fresh and innovative in just a couple days. Like many of you, we’ve also been curious about AI and how it can best be leveraged in meaningful, helpful ways… which is why our hackathon theme this year was AI.
This theming tool started off as a hackathon project—that won in two different categories! After that enthusiastic reception, the team kept working and polishing it up. It’s still an early, beta version—but as you’ll see, it’s got a ton of useful functionality already! Ready to take a look?
Meet SakurAI, Our AI-powered Smart Theming Tool for KendoUI!
When you first load the page, this is how it looks… but give it a prompt to describe your ideal theme, and watch it update right in front of your eyes, like magic! Let’s start with a simple but seasonally-appropriate prompt and have it make us a creepy Halloween-themed UI.
Pretty cool, right?? But hey, maybe scary Halloween isn’t your vibe. Let’s give it some other seasonal prompts and see how it does:
Gothic, Dark, Spooky
Maybe you prefer your Halloween to have more of a dramatic, vampires / spiderwebs / abandoned gothic ballrooms kind of energy—we can work with that. This gorgeous dark theme is ready for all your haunted mansion related projects.
Pumpkin Spice
What if you prefer your Halloween to be bright and fun? This pumpkin spice theme is festive and charming; no spooky vibes required. Anyone else craving pie all of a sudden?
Ghost, Witch, Monster
If your userbase consists of ghosts, haints, dybbuks, liches, witches and more, they’ll all feel right at home here. You did want the app to be haunted, right?
Cute, Cozy, Autumn, Fall
Are you having more of a hobbit-inspired autumn? Grab a book and a hot drink, and get ready to curl up with this cozy fall UI. Anyone for second breakfast?
The Scariest Theme of All
OK, I saved the worst for last—hope you’re ready for a good old-fashioned jumpscare. I wanted to test our AI theming tool with the scariest thing I could think of, so here it is… the Comic Sans theme. Truly horrifying.
Try It Yourself!
Ready to give it a shot? Check it out and let us know what you think! Keep in mind, it’s just a sneak preview, so there may be some little bugs… but you wouldn’t be scared of that, right?
