What is Octopus.do?
Octopus.do is turning a sitemap planner into an agent-native design tool — ChatGPT and Claude apps ship alongside an MCP server and a REST API.
Octopus.do is a visual sitemap and information architecture planning tool used by web designers and content teams to structure websites before building them. It has completed a major editor rewrite (columns, tables, text alignment — features with 56k monthly activations), shipped high-fidelity Figma prototype generation from sitemaps, and introduced a standardized XML import/export format for project portability. The product now has official apps inside ChatGPT and Claude, backed by an MCP server and a public REST API, making it accessible from AI agent sessions.
What is Untitled UI?
Untitled UI is quietly turning a component library into an enterprise platform.
Two tracks run in parallel. The library itself keeps filling gaps — context menus built on the existing Dropdown primitive, a move to Tailwind CSS v4.3 across every component, right-to-left layout support. The account layer around it has changed shape faster: SAML 2.0 SSO and SCIM 2.0 provisioning in June, then audit logs and API key management in July, all scoped to PRO and ENTERPRISE teams.

Octopus.do
3.8DESIGN
Octopus.do is turning a sitemap planner into an agent-native design tool — ChatGPT and Claude apps ship alongside an MCP server and a REST API.
◆ Current state
Octopus.do is a visual sitemap and information architecture planning tool used by web designers and content teams to structure websites before building them. It has completed a major editor rewrite (columns, tables, text alignment — features with 56k monthly activations), shipped high-fidelity Figma prototype generation from sitemaps, and introduced a standardized XML import/export format for project portability. The product now has official apps inside ChatGPT and Claude, backed by an MCP server and a public REST API, making it accessible from AI agent sessions.
◆ Where it's heading
Octopus.do is systematically bridging planning to production: XML import/export for tool interoperability, Word export for content handoff, AI prompt export for website generator tools, Figma plugin for high-fidelity prototype delivery, and now ChatGPT/Claude apps for AI-native sitemap editing. Each release reduces the distance between the planning artifact and the next stage of the workflow. The Copywriter role in team projects extends the platform further down the content production chain.
◆ Prediction
Octopus will deepen its MCP server capabilities — adding more granular editing commands (page-level content, SEO tags, block structure) and potentially supporting other AI platforms beyond ChatGPT and Claude. The REST API opens the door to third-party integrations that could make Octopus the canonical source of truth for site structure across multiple toolchains.
Untitled UI
2.5DESIGN
Untitled UI is quietly turning a component library into an enterprise platform.
◆ Current state
Two tracks run in parallel. The library itself keeps filling gaps — context menus built on the existing Dropdown primitive, a move to Tailwind CSS v4.3 across every component, right-to-left layout support. The account layer around it has changed shape faster: SAML 2.0 SSO and SCIM 2.0 provisioning in June, then audit logs and API key management in July, all scoped to PRO and ENTERPRISE teams.
◆ Where it's heading
The component work is now the steady part; the business model is what's moving. A design system sold as files and npm installs does not need SCIM provisioning or a workspace audit trail — a platform with seats, keys, and compliance reviews does. Alongside that, the distribution strategy is aimed squarely at AI builders: an MCP server, a Gemini integration with starter kits, Replit support, and one-click open in v0 all treat code generators as the primary consumer of the library.
◆ Prediction
Expect the enterprise tier to keep accumulating administrative surface — role-based permissions or SSO-enforced workspace policies are the obvious next additions — while component releases settle into the regular cadence the v8.0 notes describe.
