Build Stunning Front-End UIs in Minutes with This AI Agent
We've discovered a groundbreaking tool that may be the first-ever AI agent built specifically for front-end development: Combi.
Combi: The AI Agent for Front-End Explained
Combi is an AI agent purpose-built for front-end tasks. This isn't a general-purpose coding assistant; it's a powerful, specialized tool that integrates directly into your IDE, including VS Code, Cursor, and numerous others.
Combi empowers you to generate, run, and save high-quality front-end code from Figma designs, image inputs, or even plain text descriptions. It's designed to help you write code faster and more efficiently, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: building great user experiences.
What's truly impressive is its performance. On industry benchmarks, Combi consistently outperforms general AI tools like GitHub Copilot and even Gemini when it comes to complex, real-world front-end projects.
Key Features
- Broad Stack Support: It supports over 25 front-end libraries, so you can work with your preferred stack.
- Multi-Agent System: Combi uses multiple specialized agents behind the scenes. If something breaks down during code generation, it will automatically fix linting issues, runtime errors, and more, with no manual debugging needed.
- High-Quality Output: Combi can generate complex and modern UIs. For instance, it can create a complete course website page with all components, animations, and placeholders, resulting in a functional front end. It has also been shown to generate modern team setting pages and fully configured dashboards, providing the necessary SVG code and component representations.
With Combi, you can turn Figma designs, images, and text inputs into high-quality, scalable front-end code that fits directly into your repository. It supports multiple designs for context, understands your tech stack, and autofixes linting, TypeScript, and runtime errors.
Getting Started with Combi in 3 Steps
Getting started is incredibly simple.
- Install Combi: Add the Combi extension to your IDE. For this example, we'll use VS Code. Simply find it in the marketplace and click "Install."
- Sign In: Once installed, you can access Combi from the left-hand panel. You'll be prompted to create an account or sign in.
- Start Building: Your workspace allows you to use natural language to build UIs. You can choose between two agents: the Ask Agent for Q&A and the Code Agent to autonomously generate code.
You can also manage and configure your tech stack, changing frameworks or component styling to match your preferences. The interface allows you to attach images or link directly to a Figma frame URL for the AI to use as a reference.
Example 1: Building a Multi-Step Modal from a Figma Design
Let's walk through an example. We'll ask Combi to create a multi-step modal application based on a Figma design. The goal is for the user to click "Save and Next" to move through the different sections of the modal.
After sending the prompt and providing the Figma URL, the Combi agent deploys its planner and development agents.
The Plan:
The agent first analyzes the text prompt and the context from the three provided Figma design images. It enters a planning phase, identifying the components it needs to create or edit:
- CustomerOverview
modal
- CustomerAddress
modal
- CustomerNotes
modal
It outlines all the features and the files it will edit, which you can review in real-time.
The Code Generation: Once you approve the plan—after reviewing the schema, endpoints, and features—the agent begins coding.
The Result: After generation, you can run the code in a sandbox directly from the IDE. Combi provides a curated list of the generated files and the key features it implemented. The resulting UI component is a faithful and functional replication of the provided Figma design. It includes all requested components, such as functional drop-down menus, across all three pages of the modal, including an accurately replicated notes tab. The entire process is remarkably fast.
Once you're satisfied, you can close the server and open the generated folder to access all the files and configure the components further to fit your preferences.
Example 2: Creating a Finance App from Plain Text
Let's try a more practical example using only a text prompt. The goal is to build a multi-page finance tracking web app.
The Prompt: The request specified: - A beautiful landing page with a modern, clean design showcasing the app's features. - A dummy signup page for the front end of an authentication system. - A dashboard page (post-signup) including a sidebar, navigation, a header with the current balance, and various graphs and components typical for a finance tracker.
The Process: After sending the prompt, you can configure the tech stack. Once approved, Combi proceeds. This time, it also generates a style guide covering accents, typography, appearance, and animation. After approving this detailed plan, the coding begins.
The Result: Once finished, you can save the generated components—from the dashboard landing page to the finance tracker app itself—to your local machine. Running the app in a sandbox reveals the output.
- Landing Page: The app features a polished front end that replicates an AI SaaS landing page, just as requested.
- Authentication Page: The auth page is well-designed, with smooth animations for the input fields and social login buttons (Google/Facebook).
- Dashboard: The user is then taken to a beautiful and impressive dashboard. It's a really nice-looking front end, with all components fully generated, including animations and various data placeholders.
Conclusion
Combi is a groundbreaking AI agent specifically built for front-end design. It is highly recommended for any developer looking to streamline their workflow. You can easily convert designs and text into clean, production-ready code while the agent intelligently fixes errors and adapts to your tech stack. It empowers you to build scalable, high-quality interfaces and UIs faster and easier than ever before.
