We just Launched UXPin's Merge AI 2.0!

We just launched Merge AI 2.0 on Product Hunt

Smarter AI, still grounded in real code not generic mockups.
Create + refine code-backed UIs with MUI, shadcn/ui, Ant Design, React Bootstrap, plus image upload, prompt library, and better models.

Enterprise early access is also open for Custom Library AI integration via Git.

If you can spare 30 seconds today, please come and check it out!
Give it a test, provide some feedback or even just throw some banter.
Launch Link: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
Would love your honest take - especially if you re using AI in a design-system-heavy workflow.

What Would You Want From AI That’s Forced to Use Your Component Library?

Most AI UI tools are fun until they hit reality:

Your design system.

They generate layouts that are:

  • off-brand

  • off-component

  • off-token

  • and definitely off-roadmap

Would You Trust AI to Be a “Junior Designer” Inside Your Design System?

Most design AI tools today act like a junior designer who s never met your brand.

They re great at generating something that looks like UI.
But inside a real product team, that s usually not enough.

If you own a design system (or work with one), you ve probably seen AI:

  • Use the wrong components

  • Ignore spacing & grid rules

  • Invent new colours and type scales

  • Create patterns that don t exist in your product

We’ve Been a Little Quiet on Product Hunt… but that's about to change.

It s been a while since our last Product Hunt launch.

In that time, we ve been heads down working on UXPin Merge - bringing real, coded components into the design tool so designers and devs finally share the same source of truth.

Now we re getting ready for what feels like the next big step for Merge.

Instead of doing the usual big reveal first, I d rather ask the people actually living these problems every day:

Getting Devs to Change Their Workflow Requires Being 10x Better, Not 2x Better

Getting Devs to Change Their Workflow Requires Being 10x Better, Not 2x Better

And how Context Sync is building toward that 10x difference

Last night, I had what I thought was a billion-dollar idea.

G'day from Australia!

Hey everyone,
My name is Andrew, I'm currently the CEO of @UXPin , and previously @teamgate.
I'm a Dad to two toddlers who keep me on my feet, a sports enthusiast and lover of all things food.
Looking to connect with anyone like-minded and looking to push the boundaries of tech!

Introducing myself!

Hi guys! My name is Maria -- co-founder and content queen of Creatium (launching Sept 28th).

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.
A little bit about me:
- Spent the last 4 years hanging out with engineers creating an app that makes it easy to build interactive learning experiences and videos that talk back, including video roleplays, coaches, games, and simulations
- mama of 2 boys (7&9), whose experience during the pandemic inspired what we built

- a spoiled wife of a product manager, who is obsessed with F1 (so naturally, I am too)
- Techstars alum (it's how I met one of my cofounders)
- LaGree addict and big reader
Looking forward to trying more products on here, and hearing your feedback on ours!!
Connect with me on LI -- tell me you're from product hunt, I'd love to hear from you!

What can universities truly offer students if tech firms value experience over degrees?

Traditional professions like doctors, judges, and the like need specialised academic guidance (certificate) + experience. I agree.

But what about technical and humanities? So far, everyone has argued that a university will bring contacts (I'm not arguing, that's true... but the same can be done with hustling/projects).

A little less vibey?

At @UXPin we've just deployed the prompt enhancer for our AI component creator.
From now on, short prompts will be evaluated and refined if the AI considers them too weak. This aims to improve the AI output - with prototypes returned by the AI more detailed and diverse.

Example and output below:

Original prompt: 'news portal'

Refined prompt:

What is the best Vibe Coding tool so far? Bonus points if we've never heard of it!

I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!
