What is Relume?
Relume rebuilds itself around the AI editor, shipping its component library as an MCP server.
Relume has spent the last year moving its 1000+ component library out of its own canvas and into wherever designers and developers now work. After native exports into Figma Sites and Claude Design, it has now packaged the full library as an MCP server that plugs directly into Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, and VS Code. The through-line is distribution: Relume increasingly wants to be the design system your AI assistant builds against, not a destination site builder.
What is Jitter?
Jitter turns its AI effects engine into a packaged panel — and a pricing tier to match.
Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool shipping weekly, and its center of gravity has moved to AI-generated effects. After launching Jitter AI (build custom effects from a prompt) in May, it has consolidated shaders and effects into a dedicated Effects panel and introduced an AI-heavy Ultra pricing tier. Alongside, it keeps expanding the core editor: components, counters, background blur, glass, and displacement shaders.

Relume
3.8DESIGN
Relume rebuilds itself around the AI editor, shipping its component library as an MCP server.
◆ Current state
Relume has spent the last year moving its 1000+ component library out of its own canvas and into wherever designers and developers now work. After native exports into Figma Sites and Claude Design, it has now packaged the full library as an MCP server that plugs directly into Cursor, Claude, Windsurf, and VS Code. The through-line is distribution: Relume increasingly wants to be the design system your AI assistant builds against, not a destination site builder.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is converging on a single bet — that the component library is more valuable as connective tissue for AI coding tools than as a standalone builder. Each release widens the set of surfaces (Figma, Claude, now IDEs) that can pull real, on-system components instead of letting the model improvise markup. Expect the canvas features (Design View, wireframing, copywriting) to keep feeding the library while the library itself gets pushed further out to third-party editors.
◆ Prediction
The next move is likely deeper MCP capability — write-back, live component updates, or design-token sync — so the AI editor stays in step with the Relume system rather than pulling a one-time snapshot.
Jitter
6.3DESIGN
Jitter turns its AI effects engine into a packaged panel — and a pricing tier to match.
◆ Current state
Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool shipping weekly, and its center of gravity has moved to AI-generated effects. After launching Jitter AI (build custom effects from a prompt) in May, it has consolidated shaders and effects into a dedicated Effects panel and introduced an AI-heavy Ultra pricing tier. Alongside, it keeps expanding the core editor: components, counters, background blur, glass, and displacement shaders.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is clear — grow the effects and shaders library, let AI generate whatever isn't pre-built, and monetize the resulting AI usage through tiered credits. Editor fundamentals such as reusable components, batch export, and timeline UX are maturing in parallel to keep it viable for team workflows. Jitter is positioning as the place where designers both use and generate motion effects without leaving the canvas.
◆ Prediction
Expect workspace-level components (already flagged as next), a deeper AI effects library, and more usage-based gating as the Ultra tier establishes AI credits as the pricing lever.
