Kite vs WonderA Wonder alternative your agents design in.

Kite has no AI credits: the agents you already pay for design in it, with variables and modes, and take jobs from comments. Wonder sells its own built-in AI, metered by credits on every seat.

Your design system. Read before every draw.

Colours, type and spacing as variables, your parts as components, the rules in plain words as skills. Agents read all of it before they draw, so their work looks like yours, not like everyone's.

    One design, any systemYour agent draws with the system's variables, not fixed values. Switch the system, or change one value, and every frame drawn with it follows.

  • Components, placed, not redrawnMake a part once, with its variants. Agents place copies that follow it, instead of drawing a new card.
  • Light and dark, one setA variable holds a value for each mode. Switch a frame to Dark and every colour drawn with it follows.
  • Skills, in plain wordsThe brand's look, a guardrail, how posts are made. Agents follow the skills that fit the job.
  • One library for every filePublish a file's components to the workspace. Their copies, in every file, follow when you update.

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.

Questions.

About Kite and Wonder.

Is Kite a good Wonder alternative?

Yes. Kite has no AI credits: the agents you already pay for design in it, with variables and modes, and take jobs from comments.

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.
