We built AI that's constrained to your component library - so it can't go off-brand
Something we kept seeing across every enterprise team we work with: AI design tools generate fast, then the cleanup takes longer than building from scratch.
The pattern is always the same. The AI generates a beautiful dashboard. Everyone's impressed. Then someone looks closely. Wrong button variant. Spacing doesn't match the system. The card uses a shadow you deprecated months ago. The loading state doesn't exist. A developer receives it and rebuilds everything using the real components anyway.
The generation was fast. The aftermath was expensive.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
We've been building AI into UXPin for over a year now – AI Component Creator, AI Helper, and more.
These experiments taught us where AI works well, and where it breaks down.
The pattern we kept seeing:
AI can generate UI, but when you try to use it in your product, it doesn't match your components. You lose context. You rebuild everything.
We unified everything under Forge – the AI engine powering UXPin.
What Forge does:
🎨 Works with your design system – MUI, shadcn/ui, Ant Design, or your own components via Merge
🌐 Start from prompts, images, URLs, or existing code
🔄 Keeps context so you can refine instead of restart
✏️ Switch between AI and manual editing anytime
⚡ Outputs clean JSX
If you've been burned by AI tools that ignore your system – this is built for exactly that gap.

@nat_lasica great work on the launch Nat!
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Andrew, CEO of UXPin.
We've been building design tools for over a decade and Forge is the result of a question we kept asking: 'why does every AI design tool ignore the thing enterprise teams care about most - their component library?'.
Claude Design reads your codebase and approximates. Lovable and Bolt generate their own conventions. v0 locks you into shadcn.
None of them use your actual production components.
Forge does.
Your React library syncs via Git, or you can used a native global library we've already integrated for you.
The AI generates exclusively with those components - real props, real variants, real states. Then you can switch to professional design tools for refinement on the same canvas. No tokens burned on edits.
The export is production-ready JSX referencing your actual imports. Developers copy it and ship it. Nothing to interpret. Nothing to rebuild.
For teams without a custom library, Forge works out of the box with MUI, shadcn/ui, Ant Design, and Bootstrap.
We named it Forge because a forge doesn't replace the blacksmith - it gives them heat and speed. The craft still requires you.
Would love your honest feedback. We're here all day.
Andrew
Design tools keep getting closer to real product behavior… interesting to see how far that actually goes in practice.

@sonu38 Yeah, the gap is usually in implementation. Most tools get close visually but devs rebuild anyway. With Forge you start with real components instead of mockups.
Give it a try, curious to hear how it works for you!

Congrats on the launch team, out of curiosity, how is your tool better than Claude Design?
UXPin Merge
@danshipit Thanks Daniil! Great question.
From what we've seen, it's great for quick drafts, but there are gaps when it comes to real workflows.
The biggest one is design systems. It approximates them rather than using actual components, which leads to drift in fonts, spacing, and colors. Also, every edit costs credits - even small tweaks like moving an element.
Forge works directly with your components, so what you generate stays consistent. And you can edit manually without burning tokens on trivial changes.

@nat_lasica Yeah, that makes sense!

Really glad we finally got this out into the world!
@robert_hilscher and you were a huge driver behind this release. Great work Rob, you should be extremely proud!
@robert_hilscher great job, man, you da best!

Nice!
@sneas thanks Dimah! Looking forward to your feedback
