Kite
Kite is ranked #7 of 7 for AI design and websites on AI Tool Podium.
Our verdict
Design canvas where you and your AI agents (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client) edit the same file, built from real HTML and CSS, with components, variables, light and dark modes, and comments your agent can act on. It runs no AI of its own, so there are no AI credits. Free plan with 3 files and 200 agent actions a day; Pro is $20 per editor a month. Much newer and smaller than Figma.
