What is Visily?

Visily crosses from AI mockups into shipping code, with code generation now built in.

Visily is an AI-powered UI design tool that publishes batched monthly updates. The recent arc has been about closing the gap between design output and a working product: Design Instructions and Deep Design mode in January raised the floor on AI-generated UIs, Figma import in February anchored the tool inside existing design workflows, and the March release adds outright code generation for finished designs along with a Plan Mode for ideation.

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.

Visily vs Air: editorial side-by-side

Visily crosses from AI mockups into shipping code, with code generation now built in.

◆ Current state

Visily is an AI-powered UI design tool that publishes batched monthly updates. The recent arc has been about closing the gap between design output and a working product: Design Instructions and Deep Design mode in January raised the floor on AI-generated UIs, Figma import in February anchored the tool inside existing design workflows, and the March release adds outright code generation for finished designs along with a Plan Mode for ideation.

◆ Where it's heading

Visily appears to be narrowing toward 'design plus handoff' as the core promise rather than 'design with AI.' The Figma import + code generation pairing makes it a viable on-ramp for teams whose source of truth lives in Figma but who want a faster path to working frontend code. Plan Mode signals an upstream ambition too — rather than only generating final designs, the tool now wants to participate in the early ideation step where requirements get shaped.

◆ Prediction

Expect the code-generation surface to grow framework-specific (React/Tailwind first, more later) and tighter Figma round-tripping so designers can iterate in Figma and pull updates back through Visily for code regeneration.

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.
