Tolstoy AI: Shoppable UGC

Tolstoy used to be a really simple, easy-to-use tool, which is exactly why I liked it. Since the platform shifted heavily toward AI-generated layouts and conversational interfaces, it’s become much harder to get a clean, polished widget that matches my website. Basic styling and layout changes now take more time than they used to, and the AI often seems to get in the way rather than help. It’s definitely become more powerful, but for anyone who just wants simple shoppable video widgets with straightforward design control, the experience has gotten noticeably worse.

TO BE HONEST, for my use it is a massive waste of time in its current version. It has great comprehension to state back to you what you want but there is a disconnect in carrying out said instructions (even basic ones) that it understood. Waste so much time trying to do correction after correction even one instruction at a time as more than one instruction makes things even worse. ALso support had a video call with me trying to help and was going to get back to me soon with a comparison how they fared in trying their hand at what was frustrating me.... she NEVER got back to me. I had 7,500 tokens up my sleeve to try use before i cancelled so i gave it one more shot... and once again tearing my hair out. SO...better i cancel and lose the 7,500 tokens than my sanity. Overall- a bad experience.

For $300 a month this app is buggy as hell. Always super frustrating to adjust anything in this app, it's always glitching and you have to do simple tasks 10-20 times for it to finally work. Everything you do keeps resetting. Incredibly frustrating to use but decent app.
