How I Used Zulu AI to Auto‑Generate a Full SVG‑to‑GIF Converter

Origin of the Issue

While creating a flowchart in DrawIO with Flow Animation, I discovered that the animation could only be exported as PNG, JPEG, SVG, or WEBP, which cannot be embedded directly in a blog.

Searching for an SVG‑to‑GIF converter online yielded no suitable tool, so I decided to build one myself.

Let Zulu Write It

After installing the Comate extension in VSCode, I noticed Zulu’s new feature that can generate a project from natural language prompts, similar to tools like Trae and Cursor. I opened the existing Traffic.Demo project and gave Zulu the prompt: "Please provide the current codebase and help me generate a tool that can convert SVG to GIF."

Zulu interacted with me, asking to run terminal commands and make selections, and eventually produced the following components:

Generated Frontend Interface

Generated Backend Conversion Code

Router Files

Result

Frontend UI running effect

SVG‑to‑GIF conversion effect

Impressive Part

The surprising aspect was not just that Zulu generated a fully functional interactive tool, but that it reasoned, debugged, and corrected itself during the process, effectively performing tasks traditionally done by a programmer.
