When OpenAI launched GPT-4 Vision I immediately thought that this would be great to give instant feedback to founders on their landing pages.
I wanted to launch an MVP in just a day or two to try it out and immediately ran into the problem of getting great screenshots of landing pages from a URL. It turned out that cookie banners, animations, and more often got in the way.
Then I found ScreenshotOne which had a fantastic integration with Zapier. It just immediately worked out of the box. Four weeks later, and hundreds of founders have had thousands of tests run on their landing pages. I couldn't be a happier user of ScreenshotOne!
