What Kite is
A design tool where your team and the AI agents it already uses, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, design screens, sites and brands on one canvas, in the browser or the Mac and Windows apps. A design is real HTML and CSS, so what an agent writes and what you draw are the same thing, and your design system sits inside it as variables, components with variants, light and dark modes and plain-word skills that agents read before they draw. Frames copied in Figma paste in as editable layers. Kite runs no AI model of its own, so there are no AI credits: you pay per editor and viewers are free. The free plan has unlimited editors, 3 files and 200 agent actions a day; Pro adds unlimited files, agent actions and version history, and Team adds SSO and admin controls. It is made by its founder, Loukman Nacik.
