How to Build a Directory Website With AI

Build a directory or listings website with AI — categories, search, and detail pages — from a prompt. Great for niche directories. Free to start, publish live.

Niche directories — tools, restaurants, services, communities — are a proven SEO and business play. They need listings, categories, search, and clean detail pages. With GenVibe you can build one from a prompt.

What a great directory website needs

  • Listings with name, description, image, and links
  • Categories and tags
  • Search and filtering
  • Individual listing detail pages
  • A submit-a-listing form (optional)
  • A database for listings (Supabase)

How to build a directory website with GenVibe

  1. Describe it (or import a design). Type what you want in plain English, or paste a Figma link or a screenshot to match a specific look.
  2. Watch the agent build it live. GenVibe plans, writes the code, and runs your directory website in a live preview — edit any element by chatting or clicking it.
  3. Add a backend and publish. Connect a Supabase database and auth in one click, then publish to a live URL you can share.

Example prompt to start with

Build a directory website for AI tools. Each listing has a name, logo, description, category, and link; visitors browse by category, search, and open a detail page. Add a "submit a tool" form and store listings in a database.
