What is Air?

Air pushes the DAM into Shopify, WordPress, and Chrome — and turns AI edits into reusable Skills.

Air is shipping in two clear directions at once. On the integration side, May brought a coordinated wave: Air for Shopify, Air for WordPress, and a Chrome extension for saving images straight into Canvases and Boards. On the AI Canvas side, Skills landed as a way to save any AI edit as a named, reusable workflow runnable across batches. Adjacent Canvas work — lighting changes, Edit Text via AWS Rekognition, perspective regeneration, Seedance 2.0 video — keeps filling out the generative toolbox.

What is Moqups?

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

Air vs Moqups: editorial side-by-side

Air pushes the DAM into Shopify, WordPress, and Chrome — and turns AI edits into reusable Skills.

◆ Current state

Air is shipping in two clear directions at once. On the integration side, May brought a coordinated wave: Air for Shopify, Air for WordPress, and a Chrome extension for saving images straight into Canvases and Boards. On the AI Canvas side, Skills landed as a way to save any AI edit as a named, reusable workflow runnable across batches. Adjacent Canvas work — lighting changes, Edit Text via AWS Rekognition, perspective regeneration, Seedance 2.0 video — keeps filling out the generative toolbox.

◆ Where it's heading

Air is positioning itself as the brand-asset layer that lives wherever customers already publish — not a destination DAM you visit, but a Canvas you reach for from inside Shopify, WordPress, or a browser tab. The Skills release pushes Canvas from a per-image AI editor toward a workspace-wide automation surface, where edits are scripted once and reused at batch scale. The integration wave and the Skills launch are complementary: more surfaces to push Air-managed assets to, and more programmable ways to mass-produce them.

◆ Prediction

Expect the next quarter to bring more publishing-surface integrations — likely Webflow, Klaviyo, or a major social scheduler — and a programmatic Skills API so external systems can invoke saved workflows. Skills shareability across workspaces is the obvious second-order move.

5.0

Shipping enabling primitives, then stacking native UI kits on top; Figma-alternative pitch sharpens.

◆ Current state

Moqups is alternating real feature ships with SEO-grade content, in roughly equal measure. February 2026 brought Resize Constraints and Bulk Transform; March added native iOS 26 and Material Design 3 stencil kits that explicitly depend on the new resize behavior. July 2025's release covered prototyping ergonomics — interaction indicators and hotspot controls — and December 2024 introduced page labels and comment styling.

◆ Where it's heading

Each release sets up the next: Resize Constraints existed in part so the UI kits would survive scaling, by the team's own admission. The product is being positioned as the lowest-friction wireframe-to-mockup tool for teams who find Figma too heavy — comparison posts (Figma alternatives, all-in-one vs specialized) reinforce that frame on the marketing side. Prototyping fidelity and collaborative editing are the two visible investment areas.

◆ Prediction

Expect more first-party stencil kits (web/Android variants are a natural next step) and continued small prototyping improvements layered on the new transform primitives. The Figma-alternative content cadence will keep pace with the release cadence.
