3 AI Projects You Can Offer Your Clients

A year ago this was impossible: full 3D worlds, depth effects and custom brand tools, built in just a few prompts.

In this episode Christian, Kabarza and I show you three AI projects as inspiration for what you can offer your clients on top of a website. From a full 3D scene out of Blender that runs directly in Webflow, to a depth map effect with Apple Depth Pro and GSAP, all the way to a custom brand tool your client can operate themselves.

You will learn how to generate entire 3D scenes with the Blender MCP and an AI agent, how a classic machine learning model turns an image into a depth map, and how to build deterministic UI tools with Dialkit that you can cleanly export and ship.

How AI changes what you can offer your clients

A year ago you would have had to learn a new tool for weeks to pull off many of these ideas. Today a good prompt is often enough. In a relaxed conversation with Christian and Kabarza this became the central topic: what can you build as a web designer today that used to be simply too much effort? Three projects stuck with us and show how much room you suddenly have.

One thing up front: the technology alone will not get you there. You still need inspiration. Only when you see what others build do you get the idea to use something like it in your next client project.

Project 1: Complete 3D scenes with the Blender MCP

Christian had an AI agent build an entire 3D world through the Blender MCP. The template was a simple illustration from Figma: a car drives into frame, gets scanned and drives out again. The agent turned that into a complete 3D animation. The car drives in, gets scanned, parks, someone gets out and back in, then reverses out again.

The exciting part is not only the animation but the path to it. The agent built the whole scene in Blender and pulled the matching car model from a directory itself. Christian ends up with a finished 3D scene he can adjust however he likes. In Webflow the whole thing then runs inside a canvas where the scenes play depending on the status. For a client an element like this is a real highlight, and the effort is only a fraction of what it used to be.

Project 2: Depth effects with a depth map

Kabarza got inspired by a project with a strong depth effect and wanted to understand how something like that works. The key is called depth map. Behind it sits Apple Depth Pro, an open source model. Important: this is not generative AI in the classic sense, but a machine learning model trained to analyze an image. It recognizes what is closer to the camera and what is further away, and gives you a black and white depth image from that.

This depth map is the actual trick. You hand it to the AI and have it build an effect on top. Depending on how light or dark a pixel is, it moves more or less. With a shine effect the pixels are lit accordingly. That turns a flat image into a spatial effect.

The best part: Kabarza did not program any of it himself. He only knew that Apple Depth Pro exists. In the past this would have been an afternoon full of Python scripts, today a single prompt is enough and the installation runs on its own. He even generated the images for it with Claude through the Higgsfield MCP. His prompt mostly described the feeling, a mix of Gen Z and Renaissance for a matcha brand, plus a few concrete camera specs like an ultra wide angle without fisheye. In the end it is animated with GSAP, nice and smooth.

Here a pattern shows up that matters for you as a generalist: you do not have to master every technique yourself. Often it is enough to know the right terms so the AI understands you.

Project 3: Custom brand tools with Dialkit

The third project goes in a completely different direction and is perhaps the most interesting one for client work. Kabarza builds a small custom tool for a brand that fits that brand exactly. This too is only a few prompts. The result feels a bit like Figma: you can set effects, change speed and detail, upload and mask images, and export everything as SVG in the end.

A tool like this is built with Dialkit, a free tool. You simply tell your agent to install Dialkit, then you assemble the interface the way you need it. The big advantage is deterministic UI pieces. They do not look different on every run and are cheaper for the agent to produce. When you are done you export the whole thing with a button, copy it and hand it back to your agent.

For your client the value is huge. You can run a brand tool like this separately in your own environment and ship it together with the website, for example behind a password protected page. Your client can then generate assets for social media, effects or backgrounds on their own domain, always matching their brand colors. That is an offer hardly anyone makes and that clearly sets you apart from plain website building.
