Flowstep is the AI design engineer for developers and technical designers tired of rebuilding designs in code. Prompt or edit on an infinite canvas. Export production code or connect with your agents and apps via MCP. What you design is exactly what ships.
Yeah! Building fast sometimes means it's harder than ever to get a consistent and cool design. Even more if you need to update core design parameters and I'm sure Flowstep gonna help a lot on it
Design to UI without the handoff gap is a holy grail. Does it write a production-ready code or still need a dev pass before shipping?
Do you handle the case when the developer hand-edits the generated output so it also updates Flowstep? If no, will it come in your pipeline?
I feel like it's the feature that would make me choose your software
the '80% there then i rebuild in code' line is exactly why i stopped opening figma. running claude code daily and the design to prod handoff has been the biggest tax on shipping fast as a solo founder. mcp export into the coding agent is the right shape. trying it today !
Thanks flowstep team for making this. It really helps me to generate different design directions in very short amount of time and 2x my past workflow
to answer your question: the one thing usually missing in these tools is state management. if flowstep can help scaffold the basic useState or useEffect logic while i'm building the ui on the canvas, i’m never opening figma for web work again. definitely checking out the free trial today.. @clannachan
👋 Matt here, co-founder of Flowstep.
Last year, we shipped Flowstep as an AI designer. But you kept telling us the same thing:
"it gets me 80% there, then I rebuild the whole thing in code"
We fixed that.
Flowstep is now an AI design engineer.
→ Prompt or manually edit on an infinite canvas
→ Get production React + TypeScript + Tailwind + shadcn
→ Export the code, or pipe it into Cursor / Claude Code / Windsurf via MCP
Why this exists: The process of fast iteration, multiple concepts next to each other, full control in an infinite canvas 🤌 You shouldn't have to give up that experience because of a translation layer. That's why design and code are the same thing in Flowstep.
Free to try at flowstep.ai, paid plans available from $15 p/m.
