Modeinspect is launching today as an AI design canvas that works directly on a project’s codebase, the launch announcement states. The product aims to address a common workflow problem described in the listing: “Most software is designed twice: a picture first, then again in code,” with intent drifting between stages.
Working on the real thing
The listing describes Modeinspect as a tool that connects to a repository, lets users open an existing screen, and apply design changes using the actual components, tokens, live data, states and breakpoints from the codebase. Designers can explore variations with AI while preserving implementation details the team considers important.
Publish or hand off
According to the announcement, Modeinspect provides two delivery paths: publish changes live or send modifications to engineering for review. The product page emphasizes that the team or user decides when updates go live, rather than the canvas itself forcing deployment.
The launch materials also promote an introductory offer labeled exactly as “99 Days Free AI Credits – Design product UI in your codebase.” The listing categorizes the product under tags including Design Tools, Developer Tools and Artificial Intelligence.
The announcement positions the canvas as part of the development workflow rather than a final destination, noting that the intent is to keep design work aligned with implemented UI. It highlights the ability to work with live data and breakpoint-aware states to reduce mismatches between visual mockups and shipped interfaces.
Practical details provided in the announcement include the option to publish changes or forward them to engineering for review and the promotional credit period. Additional information such as pricing, supported platforms, and repository integrations were not specified in the announcement.
