Write a sentence about yourself, paste your links, and you get a live page at yourname.unu.lu. No signup, no templates, no editor.

I built this because the usual link-in-bio flow felt backwards: sign up, pick a template, drag blocks around, then find out whether the result is worth keeping. Here, you find out first.

The tradeoff is that unclaimed pages expire after a short preview window. If you like yours, claim it with your email. If not, it disappears on its own. No zombie accounts, no namespace squatting. Rate limits and content moderation handle the rest — the blast radius of a bad actor is one temporary page.

Under the hood, /for-humans is a thin interface over a public API. The API is described with OpenAPI and exposed via llms.txt, so AI assistants with web access can discover and use unulu without prior setup or an API key. I wrote more about that discovery pattern here: https://unulu.ai/blog/ai-agents-web-infrastructure

The part I'm least sure about is whether the generated page feels done enough from one prompt, or whether people want more control before it goes live.

very cool idea! in my experience most users don't want anything that requires more than 1 prompt (usually to their detriment), but you perhaps you can help them build a better prompt up front via multi-field input?

Totally agree — prompt fatigue is real. Interestingly, when I tested this with Claude Opus connected via MCP, it naturally did that on its own! Gathered context, asked a couple of clarifying questions, then structured the API call. No multi-field form needed, the model just interviewed the user. Feels like Anthropic is already engineering for this at the model level.
