Modeinspect

What is Modeinspect?

Modeinspect is an AI design canvas that sits on top of your real product code. Designers drag live components, tokens, and data onto frames, tweak layouts with familiar controls, and explore variants with AI. When a change looks right, it becomes a scoped pull request that engineers review and merge.

Top Features:

• Real components: drop in the exact components your product ships, with every state.
• Enforced tokens: colors, spacing, and type come from your library and stay on-brand.
• Canvas to PR: turn canvas edits into merge-ready, type-safe code changes for review.

Use Cases:

• Prototyping: build live prototypes with real data, states, and responsive breakpoints.
• Design QA: compare the canvas to the live build pixel by pixel and fix drift.
• UI polish: fix spacing, copy, and responsive issues yourself, then open a PR.

Who Can Use Modeinspect?

• Design engineers: work on the real product without setting up a local dev environment.
• Product designers: move past static mockups and ship changes that match production.
• Frontend engineers: review scoped diffs that reuse components instead of rewriting screens.

Pricing

• Hobby (free): the full canvas, unlimited repositories, and a monthly agent allowance.
• Pro ($20/month): extended agent limits, merge-ready PRs, design QA, and priority support.
• Enterprise (contact sales): seat-based pricing with single sign-on, SCIM, and SOC 2 Type II.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• No mockups: designs are built on real code, so nothing gets redrawn later.
• Flat pricing: the paid plan is a set monthly fee with no usage meters.
• Clean code: changes reuse your components and tokens instead of adding UI debt.

Cons:

• Desktop only: the editor is built for large screens, not phones or tablets.
• Codebase required: you need a connected repository, so it suits existing products.
• Hobby limits: free agent usage is capped monthly, slowing heavier daily work.

FAQs:

1) Do I need a local dev setup?

No, connect the codebase and start designing from real routes and components.

2) Does it replace Figma?

Figma still suits early concepts, while this canvas handles real product work.

3) Do I get a prototype or code?

Both, a live shareable version of the change plus a pull request when ready.

4) Does it use our design system?

Yes, it uses your existing components, tokens, states, and breakpoints.

5) Do I need a credit card?

No, the Hobby plan is free and needs payment only when upgrading.
