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.
Kittl is becoming an AI production engine for print-on-demand sellers, now with brand consistency built in.
Kittl ships weekly and the cadence is heavily AI-native: image generation and remixing merged into one flow, style transfer, newer image/video models (GPT Image 2, SeeDance), and tighter image-editing control like the new Edit Area. The standout structural addition is Brands — a system for keeping designs on-brand automatically rather than manually swapping colors, fonts, and logos each time.
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.
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.
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.

The standout structural addition is Brands — a system for keeping designs on-brand automatically rather than manually swapping colors, fonts, and logos each time.
Kittl is aiming squarely at print-on-demand and merch operators whose bottleneck is turning ideas into finished, on-brand, print-ready output fast. Remix Styles and CMYK export target the production pipeline; Brands targets repeatability at scale. The arc is from a creative canvas toward an AI-assisted design factory.
Expect Brands to deepen (more automated on-brand application across templates and batch listings) and the AI model roster to keep refreshing, given the weekly cadence of swapping in higher-quality generation models.
