FAQ
Does this work for product and brand design teams?
Yes. Product design emphasizes feature handoff; brand design emphasizes asset libraries. The agent adapts checks to the discipline.
Can the agent generate component-level critique?
Yes. Trained on the design system, it flags accessibility, consistency, and pattern issues per frame.
What plan supports a design team?
Pro ($10/mo annual) handles the team. Business ($25/mo) adds design-system audit logs.
