AI Development

AI development is the core of Frontend. Rather than writing code by hand, you describe what you want to build and Frontend’s AI generates, edits, and wires up your application in real time — with a live preview that reflects every change the moment it’s made.

You interact with the AI through a chat interface. Describe a feature, request a UI change, or ask for a new page — the AI reads your entire project context (files, structure, active integrations) and writes the code directly into your project. Changes appear instantly in the live preview without a manual build or refresh step.

The AI handles the full development surface:

  • File authoring — creates and edits any file in your project, from React components to API routes and database queries
  • Web search — looks up current documentation, APIs, and packages to inform its output
  • Image generation — produces AI-generated images and drops them directly into your project
  • Image understanding — accepts screenshots, mockups, or reference images as input and uses them to guide implementation
  • Integration access — reads and writes to your connected services including Supabase, GitHub, Figma, Stripe, and more

Every prompt result is reflected immediately in the embedded preview. You can iterate quickly — refine a layout, adjust copy, change behavior — without leaving the editor or waiting on a build pipeline.

The AI is aware of your active integrations and can use them as part of development. Ask it to query a Supabase table, create a GitHub commit, pull design tokens from Figma, or wire up a Stripe checkout — it handles the integration logic so you stay focused on what you’re building.
