AI tools that actually help you design

The vast majority of AI design tools just generate something that looks nice in a demo and falls apart the second you try to ship it. What actually matters is whether a tool fits into the way you already work — inside your IDE, connected to your codebase, reviewing your pull requests before bad design hits production. These are the ones that do that.

You will find tools here that range from full AI website builders that watch your GitHub commits and auto-update your marketing site, to design-in-IDE experiences that skip the Figma-to-code handoff entirely, to automated design reviewers that catch accessibility issues and visual bugs before they go live. A few of them handle the unglamorous stuff too — generating device mockups from a URL, or creating and remixing images with natural language. The common thread is that none of them are trying to replace your taste. They are trying to save you the busywork so you can focus on the decisions that matter.
