TypeUI is an agent-first product that you can use with your favorite AI tools like Claude, Codex, and Cursor to start building UI that makes sense an converts users using human-curated design skills and prompts.
We are the makers of Flowbite and we had such a blast the past few years.
A lot of things have happened since then... LLMs, AI, agents, a revolution really.
After a long vacation we are back with a revenge and this time, we set out to fix UI generation using AI. It's a hell of a challenge to undertake, given the complexity and subjective essence of what UI means and how users perceive it.
First of all, we believe that good UI is the one that gets the message across, the one that is accessible for all users, and ultimately converts your users into customers.
About 3-4 months ago we launched on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeA...) a collection of markdown files (design skills as we call it) and it had quite a success. Over 1000 upvotes and many more k's of views.
A few days later Google launched Stitch and the DESIGN.md format.
Fuck, we're now competing against Google?
And then Claude Design comes along?
And then v0 launches design systems?
We have no chance...
Other than, we kept on and didn't give up.
One month ago we launched our MCP server (https://www.typeui.sh/docs/mcp-s...) that is a superset of the design skills that we previously launched (and perfected since with more granulated .md file breakdown for design system structure) and what it does is pretty simple.
It brings together all resources from TypeUI (markdown files and prompts) and lets you generate much better and cleaner UI by simply typing stuff like:
- "Build me a landing page using Atlas design system" - "Iterate 3 more variations for the hero section" - "Build me a dashboard with user analytics"
A lot of things happen in the background with TypeUI MCP:
- it will select the design system markdown files from your project - it will select the best prompts available for layout generation - it will use cleanup loops using our UI/UX fundamentals package - it will optionally create multiple variations of sections and pages based on your settings
Ohhh, and you can also create your own brand kit (https://www.typeui.sh/create/brand-kit) which creates a BRAND.md file that you can combine with any of the design skills from TypeUI... so basically create anything in any style!
We have about 3-5k new user sessions with our MCP server... DAILY!
Because TypeUI is an agent/AI-first product, you can let them loose and automatically generate clean UI if you want your agents to build websites, dashboards, or applications so you can delegate the creative process completely.
ALSO... hear me out.
Tokens... they're getting expensive!
We see posts about Fable generating UI here and there, but nobody is talking about the fact that they are DAMN expensive. And UI generation... it requires a lot of tokens.
This is why we benchmark our previews of design skills (https://www.typeui.sh/design-skills) using Composer 2.5 from Cursor - one of the cheapest and fastest models out there. This is why a subscription to TypeUI can definitely save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars when building UI with AI.
All in all...
We reached 10k users. We have about 2.5k MRR at this point.
We are tired. We are excited. We are hungry.
We welcome all feedback so that we can improve TypeUI and help new founders and agents to build user interfaces that will connect with people, make them accessible, and keep a more clean and consistent internet.
This is such a solid idea. Giving AI agents better design context is something the ecosystem has needed for a long time. Excited to see TypeUI out in the wild.
Congrats on the launch! 🙌
Thanks for building this, Zoltan, and for sharing the whole Reddit to MCP journey in the launch post. The design skills plus BRAND.md idea makes sense as a way to keep AI generated UI consistent instead of every screen looking like a different Dribbble shot glued to the last one.
A concrete case where this would help: I've seen a small team ship a dashboard where every page had different spacing, button styles, and card patterns because each screen was prompted on its own. Feeding TypeUI's brand kit and a single chosen design skill into that project instead of raw prompts would have kept the whole app visually coherent.
Since you mentioned the cleanup loop and multiple variations running in the background, how do you handle it when the MCP server picks a layout that technically follows the design skill markdown but still clashes with components already in the codebase? Is that caught before generation or only after someone reviews it?
Congrats again on reaching 10k users, that's a long way from the original Reddit post.
Curious how the "human-curated design skills" actually stay fresh over time, do you update the prompt library regularly or is it more of a set-and-forget approach? Also wondering if the output is locked to your own components or if it plays nicely with custom design systems like a shadcn variant.
How does this actually work under the hood - are you running the agent against your own design prompt library, or is it more like a wrapper on top of Cursor and Claude that injects context into the chat?
the reddit -> Stitch -> Claude Design gauntlet story is a wild launch-day flex, respect for shipping into that. one thing I'm curious about mechanically: when multiple design skill files could apply to the same component and they pull in different directions (say one favors dense information layouts, another favors generous whitespace for the same brand), does TypeUI have any way to arbitrate that, or does it just hand all the context to the model and let it figure out the tradeoff itself
I want to give huge credit to the TypeUi team. This product, along with their excellent support, is helping me to learn a new, more efficient way of working in this time of ever changing workflows. They have been super responsive to questions, and they are constantly adding to the product and giving me new ideas. The prompts and design skills are solid and really accurate, I've been really impressed with them when testing in things like pencil (on the design side) and then also in Etch (on the build side). And so more than anything I look on this as a huge time saver for me when I need ideas or inspiration, but also I feel like I can really rely on the prompts to give me solid output. Congratulations (and thanks) to Zoltan and the team - I am really enjoying using TypeUi!
Congrats on the launch. The human-curated design skills part stood out — AI UI usually fails on taste rather than syntax, and curation is the missing piece. When Claude or Cursor uses TypeUI, what does the agent consume: a skill file it reads before generating, or live calls to your API?
TypeUI makes AI-generated UI feel much more intentional. Amazing idea Zoltan, congrats on the launch!
This is a godsend for people like me who are mostly backend devs but want to build things that don't look like generic AI slop that you see everywhere! I'll be using it on every project moving forward
I tried TypeUI in one of my apps and it’s really good. It turned my AI-generated Bootstrap-like design into something clean, and modern. It’s really good for people who aren’t design pros. And even if you are, it’s still helpful.
Congrats on the launch and good luck!
Congrats on the launch and the new journey! This seems like a perfect fit for the new wave of Vibe Coders that doesnt know much about the way a design system works under the hood; and still want a beautiful, consistent and "cheap" generated UI. I mean cheap in terms of the token usage and costs, not the end quality which is great. I've burnt 2-300$ in API credits for Claude Design just to get a bunch of components and HTML files that I needed to remake in Claude Code after that. Hopefully more and more people will use TypeUI as the go to for building their products base.
Would love to see a way to preview the generated UI directly in the chat before exporting, maybe a quick screenshot or interactive snippet. Would make iterating with Claude or Cursor way faster since I could react to what I actually see rather than rebuilding locally each time.
@zoltanszogyenyi@roberttanislav As every developer, design is my week point. 😊 Thank you for putting this together and help me get on the next level. I really enjoy using it!
This is a very interesting direction, especially coming from the Flowbite team, and it is always nice to see a Hungarian maker building something ambitious here :)
AI UI generation is getting better, but a lot of outputs still feel like "nice looking screens" instead of actual product UI that converts, stays accessible, and fits a real brand. as someone building a visual product, the design skills / BRAND.md approach feels much more practical than just prompting harder. Curious how much TypeUI improves inside one project over time. does it learn from accepted UI variations and brand decisions, or does it mostly rely on the provided design skills and markdown context?

Anyways, back to the product.
You can also use TypeUI with autonomous agents like Hermes (https://www.typeui.sh/docs/guide...), OpenClaw (https://www.typeui.sh/docs/guide...), and Eve (https://www.typeui.sh/docs/guide...).
Because TypeUI is an agent/AI-first product, you can let them loose and automatically generate clean UI if you want your agents to build websites, dashboards, or applications so you can delegate the creative process completely.
