Anima - UX Design Agent | Design to Code

by•
From rough ideas to Figma files, Anima’s AI generates accurate frontend code that matches your design system. Say goodbye to generic code agents - build real, responsive UI that’s on-brand and ready to ship.

Hey PH 👋
Avishay here, co-founder of Anima.

We built Anima the UX design agent because we hit the same wall everyone hits with vibe-coding: coding agents ship fast, but they’re design-blind. You get inconsistent UI, broken patterns, and the “AI slop”.

What Anima does: it’s a design-first playground where you can go from ideas to runnable, on-brand code, with your brand + design system in the loop. 

Start from a prompt, clone your site, paste Figma links, import a design system, then iterate with the agent. The output is real code you can hand off to engineering or to other agents via MCP. 

What makes Anima different:

  1. Design-first, not design-blind - Anima understands your brand and design system as context.

  2. Works with your existing stack - Figma, design systems, and coding agents via MCP.

  3. Real code, not just prototypes - Runnable, connected to data, and ready for handoff/publish.

  4. Built for teams - Shared workspaces, shared context, consistent output.

Who is it for:

Product teams building with AI who are tired of inconsistent UI and design-handoff friction. Designers who want to ideate faster without breaking the brand. Engineers who want clean code from day one.

Anima has been leading the design-to-code space for 8 years, and is used by teams at Amazon, Samsung, Apple, Disney, Deloitte, and more. This launch is the next chapter: design as code, with AI that actually gets it.

We’ll be here all day. Ask anything, share your feedback, questions, and hot takes 👇

 Hey Avishay. Congrats on launching. I love the innovation AI has in the creative field as of late. I'm curious to understand if you envision AI fully replacing front-end developers, or augmenting them? Could Anima eventually handle complex interactions, animations, or dynamic data?

For publishing, do you allow adding a custom domain?

  we're big fans! 😍

I tried "Create a slideshow for ‏solopreneurs on the value could bring" + our "Match a brand" tool :)

Maker

 so cool to see you here! We love you Nas :)

Can you explain more about the design system integration?

Maker

 👋 Great question!!

We integrate with design systems in multiple ways ()

  • Vibe code with your Figma design system - Design team could sync the Figma DS to Anima, then the whole team can ideate on top of it with AI, and stay on-brand - Product, Marketing, Sales, Leadership.

  • Vibe code with your code design system - Similar, Anima connects to your Front-end codebase, then the whole team can ideate on top of it with AI, and stay on-brand - Product, Marketing, Sales, Leadership.

    • Build product features, marketing pages, internal tools, or POCs.

    • Results could also be handed off to Claude Code / Cursor via MCP.

  • Giving your Claude Code the context of the design system via MCP - Anima learns and maps your code design system in ways that complement Claude Code / Cursor and allow engineering to use it better.

  • Generate a fully functional design system from a Figma design system

Amazing work team! can you explain more how I can take it into Claude code when I'm done?

Maker

 👋
You can use , and then simply paste the Anima playground link into Claude Code / Codex / Cursor - so the agent could read the Playground as a handoff, add it to your existing codebase or continue from the Anima project.

We need to either feed the figma file or we can start with a prompt, yes?

Maker

 Yes!
Multiple ways to start: Prompt/Figma/Clone website/Match a brand
Try:
"Create a Pie-day sale for ConnectMachine and match the brand of "

You could also clone your live web app using our Chrome extension

Maker

 You can also feed both :)

The biggest friction in AI-built products is that weird gap between prototype and production. If Anima really delivers runnable, on-brand code that engineers don’t have to clean up, that’s a big deal 🔥

Maker

 
That's what we are shooting for :)
We've been owning the design-to-code space for 8 years (1.7M installs on Figma), and today there's a new way to design - code. So we believe that code should be able to get to your codebase.

We do it by connecting to your brand, to your design system, creating clean code, and allowing Claude code read it. Thanks for the recognition!

Interesting launches today. Combination of + + would be so powerful!!

Maker

 Interesting take!
does play well with other agents, we also play nice with 🦞
Design skill for coding agents and OpenClaw: , also on ClawHub.

Congrats on launching. How is this different from just using Figma + a coding agent like Cursor or Claude?

Maker

 Great question!

  • The fastest way to see the difference is to try this (At ):
    "Create a landing page for DocumentationAI, match the brand of , and the topic should be the Access Control feature, research online and see the changelog for details."
    Figma is just one entry point (We're also the #1 Figma to code solution with 1.7 million installs)

  • You can also start by cloning your website or webapp (Use our Chrome extension)

  • We can also bring your full design system ()

Would love to hear your feedback!

Great tool to clone and evolve nice websites design! Just curious - could it generate high end design for banner/posters in future too?

Maker

 Absolutely! it can create visuals based on your brand style / DNA

Loved it team! Design made easy and friendly. Wish you all the best here!

Maker

 thank you so much!
