Meet the Future of Visual App Development with AI
The AI visual coding assistant from PromptXL is redefining how creators and developers build apps. With this new capability, you can make precise, visual changes to your app instantly—no manual coding, no searching through files.
All it takes is three steps: Click. Describe. Done.
By combining intuitive design with deep code intelligence, PromptXL’s coding assistant helps you turn your ideas into live, production-ready apps faster than ever before.
What Makes PromptXL’s AI Visual Coding Assistant Different
Unlike traditional coding tools that rely solely on text prompts, the visual coding assistant works visually with the help of AI. It understands the context of every element in your app, from structure to styling, and lets you edit it directly on screen.
This approach saves time, reduces friction, and empowers anyone—from entrepreneurs to experienced developers—to collaborate naturally through visual interaction.
How the AI Visual Coding Assistant Works
1. Toggle the Element Selector
Activate the Element Selector in PromptXL’s interface to enable visual editing mode. Once active, every UI component becomes interactive.
2. Click to Select Any UI Element
Click any part of your app a button, heading, form, or image and it instantly identifies its corresponding code, including:
- Exact file and line reference
- Styling and state information
- Functionality and event handlers
3. Describe What You Want to Change
Then, tell the assistant what to do:
- “Change this text to ‘Start Now.’”
- “Make this button larger and blue.”
- “Add a search box above this list.”
The assistant automatically applies those changes in your live app view.
4. Review Instantly
See results immediately in real time. You can confirm, refine, or undo changes instantly—creating a truly visual feedback loop for coding.
Why the AI Visual Coding Assistant Matters
1. Context-Aware Intelligence
PromptXL’s coding assistant connects every design element with its source code. Instead of guessing, it knows exactly what you’re referring to—reducing errors and saving time.
2. Visual Understanding of Code
By “seeing” your app, the assistant bridges the gap between design and development. This visual understanding is key to building faster, more accurate products.
3. Faster Development for All
Editing with clicks instead of text commands cuts iteration time drastically. You can implement dozens of changes in minutes instead of hours.
4. Accessibility Across Roles
The AI visual assistant empowers everyone—designers, developers, and business teams—to make updates confidently without needing deep coding expertise.
Quick Visual Edits Using the AI Coding Assistant
PromptXL’s Assistant Mode is ideal for instant updates and refinements to your UI.
Use it to:
- Edit button text and colors
- Adjust font sizes and layouts
- Fix alignment and spacing
- Replace images or icons
With this your UI changes happen instantly in code and design simultaneously—no switching tools or environments.
Deeper Code Enhancements with the AI Visual Developer (Agent)
When you’re ready to add functionality, switch to PromptXL Agent, your advanced AI visual coding assistant.
Agent can:
- Add dynamic features (like search or filtering)
- Integrate APIs or backend connections
- Implement event handling
- Refactor complex functions
- Create reusable components
Agent takes your visual input and builds logical, production-grade code behind it—merging creativity and technical depth seamlessly.
Technology Behind the AI-Powered Visual Coding Assistant
PromptXL’s architecture links UI components directly to their code origins. Here’s how:
- The system scans your project’s DOM or component tree.
- Each visual element is mapped with metadata (styles, behaviors, states).
- This uses this metadata to understand your visual clicks and apply precise code-level edits.
This deep integration of visual context with technical structure is what gives the assistant its unmatched precision.
Benefits of Using an AI Visual Coding Assistant
Visual Coding = Intuitive Coding
No more abstract commands. You work directly on what you see, and AI takes care of the rest.
Code Accuracy with Every Change
PromptXL ensures every visual edit results in valid, test-driven code—so your project stays production-ready.
Empowered Teams
Designers can focus on look and feel, while developers and PMs can quickly iterate features—all within one shared interface.
Time and Cost Savings
Reduce iteration time, testing overhead, and development costs dramatically. The AI visual coding assistant helps teams ship faster and more confidently.
Real-World Use Cases of the AI Visual Coding Assistant
1. Quick Button Redesigns
Click the button, describe the change:
“Make this button green with 10px rounded corners.”
Done in seconds—with code updated automatically.
2. Add Search Functionality
Click a product list and say:
“Add a search bar that filters items by name.”
Agent handles the logic and state changes instantly.
3. Collaborative Live Editing
During team sessions, multiple members can click and describe changes together. This applies them in real time, ensuring everyone sees updates instantly.
