<\/p>\nWeb development has changed massively in the last few years. There was a time when building a website meant dealing with raw HTML and CSS and obsessing over every tiny pixel by styling it yourself. Then tools like Wix and Squarespace came along where you could build a decent-looking website just by dragging and dropping elements.<\/p>\n
Now, we have tools that let you simply describe what you want, and they go ahead and build the entire thing for you exactly how you describe it. All you need to do is the ideating and prompting, and it handles the rest. I wanted to see how far that’s really come, so I took Claude Code, Google’s Antigravity, and Perplexity Computer, and gave them the exact same job: to create a portfolio website for me. I used the same exact prompts and instructions, and here’s how it went…<\/p>\n
Same prompt and instructions<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ve been wanting to create a portfolio website for a while now, but I haven’t had time to actually sit down and learn how to build one from scratch. So this felt like the perfect opportunity to finally put all three tools to the test and also get a portfolio website as a result. Now, I didn’t really want a generic portfolio. If I did, I’d have just used a template on a tool like Wix! Instead, I wanted an interactive portfolio with fluid animations, a section with all my published work so far, and an AI chatbot integrated that a reader could use to ask questions about all my work.<\/p>\n
So, to achieve this, I used the same process across all three tools. Given that all the information I’d like to display within a portfolio website is already available online, I first asked each tool to find everything it could about me (and I mean everything). I told them I’m a journalist, to find my published work online, and to just dig up as much as they can. Then, once they had all that context, I gave them all the same prompt describing exactly what I wanted.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that I’m judging the outputs on the very first version each tool produces \u2014 no edits, no follow-up prompts, no tweaking from my end. Just the raw first result.<\/p>\n Perplexity Computer<\/p>\n Nailed everything on the first try<\/p>\n While Claude Code and Antigravity are both built primarily for coding and development related tasks, Perplexity Computer is something that’s in a bit of a different lane. It’s more so positioned as an OpenClaw alternative<\/a>, and the impressive bit about it is that it has access to multiple AI models. It’s based on Anthropic’s Opus 4.6 as its core reasoning engine, but it can intelligently route different subtasks to whichever model is best suited for the job. Though I’ve been an open critic of Perplexity, I’ve been using Computer a fair bit and it’s really impressed me.<\/p>\n The very first task I made it do was this one \u2014 building me a portfolio website. Now, right off the bat, I was impressed. As I mentioned above, the first thing I asked these tools was to find everything they can on me. Perplexity took the longest to wrap up its research, but it also returned the most in-depth information, which is exactly what I was looking for. It went as far as digging into my Instagram account, my Twitter, and even found some stuff that I wasn’t aware of, like the fact that Authory had featured my account on their website! It was a bit creepy how much AI can find out about you from a single name, but honestly, for this specific use case, that’s exactly what I needed.<\/p>\n Once I had sent off my idea to it, it asked a couple of follow-up questions including the visual mood I wanted, the primary audience, a headshot of mine, and if I had any websites or portfolios that I love the vibe of. It then went off and began building! It delegated the task of collecting my articles to Gemini 3 Flash, while Claude Opus 4.6 handled the coding. I hadn’t specified a design vibe and gave the tools the freedom to decide. Perplexity Computer went with warm cream and coral tones, had a headshot of me right on the front page and a typewriter style tagline that cycled through different phrases about me. This included tech journalist, CS student, NotebookLM evangelist, professional yapper (which it got off my Instagram)!<\/p>\n It then included links to my socials, a Search My Work button, and a Featured Work section with a filterable grid with the publications I’ve written at so far and topics I cover. This included a Search Articles bar where you could find an article by searching for it. The exciting part was the “Ask Mahnoor’s AI” section which only knew my articles. I tested it out with a bunch of prompts like “What does Mahnoor think of Perplexity” and it mentioned that I have a lot to say about it, and I’m a fan but also honest about shortcomings.<\/p>\n Now, Perplexity’s output was the only one that included all my articles published (as I had asked for) and the only one with an AI chatbot that actually worked properly! I barely had any complaints with the output, and this is definitely the portfolio I’m considering actually deploying. It was functional, aesthetically pleasing enough, and most importantly, it actually nailed every single thing I asked for on the first try.<\/p>\n Claude Code built something impressive, but it wasn’t quite there yet<\/p>\n I expected better<\/p>\n
