Kite vs VisilyA Visily alternative your agents design in.

A real design tool. Not a prompt box.

Flex and grid, components, variables, a pen and real type: what you reach for in Figma is all here. And a design is real HTML and CSS, so what your agent writes and what you draw are the same thing.

    Every value, to the pixelDrag a gap, a padding or a size and the frame moves to make room as you go. Your agents set the same fields, so their work is as exact as yours.

  • Flex, grid and constraintsRows, columns and grids with even gaps and padding. Change one thing and the rest moves to make room.
  • Pen, pencil and shapesDraw paths point by point or freehand, then combine, flatten and outline them.
  • Type, fills and effectsFonts and weights, styled word by word. Gradients, picture fills, shadows and blurs.
  • Preview and historySee a frame as the screen it will be. Save versions, and go back to any of them.

Leave a comment. Your agent does it.

Pin a comment where the change belongs and mention your agent. It reads the frame and the layer you clicked, does the work and answers in the thread.

About Kite and Visily.

Is Kite a good Visily alternative?

Yes. Kite is a full design tool where the agents you already use draw and edit in your file.

How much does Kite cost?

Kite is free to start, with 1 editor and 3 files. Pro is $20 per editor a month, or $16 billed yearly. There are no AI credits: your agent runs on the plan you already pay for, so you never pay twice for the AI.

Which AI agents work with Kite?

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex and any other MCP client that signs in with OAuth. They connect to Kite's hosted server, or to the local one in Kite for Mac.
