Vibecode Assistant is the bridge between your design intent and your AI coding agent. It eliminates guesswork by turning vague feedback into precise, actionable instructions. Instead of saying βmove the text box up a little,β you can specify βmove the text box up by 30 pointsβ and show exactly where the change should happen. Screenshot-based guidance: Take a screenshot of your app. Load it into Vibecode Assistant. Draw and place elements directly on top of it. Show your AI agent exactly what to add, move, resize, restyle, or remove by exporting to your AI coder. Export is built for speed and clarity: Export a detailed report with element positions and styling details. Export an annotated screenshot showing visual change intent. Paste directly into your AI coding agent. This makes the workflow fast, simple, and practical for real iteration cycles. With Vibecode Assistant, you can: Design against real iPhone and iPad presets. Add and edit UI elements like text, buttons, fields, lists, navigation, tab bars, toggles, and modals. Define exact placement, spacing, font, color, and visual styling. Use grid, snap, pointer, and measure tools for precision. Deliver clear, implementation-ready instructions to AI in seconds. Vibecode Assistant helps you communicate UI changes with precision so AI builds what you mean, not what it guesses.
