About the Design assistant
🎨 The Design assistant is AutoClaw's built-in Design Agent, built for real-world design work. It can generate apps, websites, and presentations from scratch based on an idea or PRD, and it can also read screenshots, Figma files, drafts, and project code to improve existing designs while preserving your product logic and brand style.
What problems it solves
Most design tasks are not about "making something from scratch" but about "we already have something, but it isn't good enough." The Design assistant covers both Create and Upgrade tasks:
Type | What it can do |
|---|---|
Create | Generate from requirements | Turn ideas, prompts, or PRDs into App / Web interfaces; break the requirements down into modules, pages, and states before starting visual design; generate interactive HTML prototypes or presentations |
Upgrade | Improve existing designs | Read existing pages, screenshots, Figma files, or project code; preserve brand, core content, and business logic; proceed with detail polish, layout restructuring, or a full redesign |
Who it is for
Role | Common tasks | What you get |
|---|---|---|
Product managers | Quickly turn a PRD into an interface ready for review | Module breakdown, page list, interactive prototype |
Designers | Validate Figma files, competitor screenshots, or redesign directions | Previewable proposals and designs you can keep iterating on |
Front-end / indie developers | Add pages or unify the visual style on top of an existing project | Page designs that follow your existing system, plus HTML previews |
Startup teams | Quickly produce a complete design when design resources are limited | Pages with real images, logos, and complete layouts |
Growth / operations | Redesign campaign pages; create posters, banners, or slide decks | Brand-consistent marketing materials and presentation files |
How it differs from general chat
The Design assistant is built for the full design process: it understands many kinds of project materials, provides dedicated design and preview capabilities, and supports continuous refinement and multi-format delivery, rather than producing a one-off image or snippet of code.
💡 Current output is mainly intended for design preview, proposal presentation, review, and developer handoff. HTML prototypes do not replace the formal development and release process.
