# Modeinspect > Modeinspect is a design canvas that connects directly to your codebase and AI agents, letting design engineers build high-fidelity features and ship merge-ready PRs without handoffs. Modeinspect is a design platform built by Acreom Inc. that eliminates the gap between design tools and production code. It gives design engineers a canvas that sits directly on top of their real codebase, live components, design tokens, and data — so what gets designed is what actually ships. The platform is actively used by teams at companies including Kiwi.com, Moss, Apify, e2b, Prelude, NCCER, and Deepnote, according to the Modeinspect website. ## What It Is Modeinspect is a web-based design canvas integrated with your Git repository and AI coding agents. Unlike traditional design tools that produce static mockups requiring a separate engineering implementation step, Modeinspect lets designers and developers work directly on the live product. Changes made on the canvas translate into scoped, type-safe code diffs that are ready for engineering review and merge. The platform targets "design engineers" — practitioners who bridge design and frontend development — and positions itself as a replacement for the Figma-to-engineering handoff workflow. ## How the Canvas-to-Code Loop Works The core workflow in Modeinspect runs in three stages: design, QA, and ship. - **Capture to canvas:** Any element from the live product can be pulled onto the canvas pixel-exactly, including real data, dynamic states (hover, focus, error, loading, success), and every breakpoint. - **Edit with visual controls:** Changes are made using familiar design controls — padding, radius, color, layout — rather than prompt-only AI interfaces. The platform enforces design tokens and component libraries so nothing off-system can be introduced. - **Canvas to PR:** Every canvas change builds back as a clean, scoped diff. The platform reads the file layout, components, tokens, conventions, and existing logic of the connected repo, then writes within them. PRs are described as type-safe and ready for engineering review without redlines or spec documents. The platform also supports collaborative review: changes can be shared via link, comments can be left, and a PR can be opened in one click. ## Built for Design Engineers Modeinspect explicitly targets design engineers rather than pure designers or pure developers. Key capabilities include: - **1:1 component fidelity:** Real shipped components with every variant and state, not redrawn look-alikes. - **Token enforcement:** Colors, spacing, and text styles come directly from the connected design system library. - **Native breakpoints:** Mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts can be edited side by side with live reflow. - **AI exploration:** Latest AI models can be used to explore variants, restyle sections, adjust copy, or apply design directions while the user retains visual control. - **Real data and flows:** Design happens on top of live data and real user journeys, including edge cases like long names and empty states. ## Enterprise Capabilities The enterprise offering adds security and compliance controls on top of the core platform. According to the enterprise page, Modeinspect holds SOC 2 Type II certification (independently audited), supports SSO/SAML enforced org-wide, SCIM provisioning and deprovisioning, role-based access control, exportable audit logs, and regional data residency options. The enterprise page also states that customer code is never used for training. A "DeepCode retrieval" feature is described as keeping output high-fidelity across large enterprise repositories. The Modeinspect enterprise page attributes the following metrics to teams using the platform: 7× faster design QA, 80% less engineering time on implementation, more than 50% less time on handovers and feedback, and 90% production code generated. The Prelude customer story, published on the Modeinspect site, attributes 22 days saved on delivery cycle and zero engineering handoffs. ## Backing and Team Modeinspect is operated by Acreom Inc. and describes itself as a small team of designers and engineers. The About page lists investors including Partech and Credo Ventures, along with individual operators. The company is office-first and describes a performance-culture operating model. A hiring page is linked from the About section. ## Features - Design canvas connected to live codebase - Real component integration with all variants and states - Design token enforcement from connected library - Capture live product elements to canvas pixel-perfectly - Dynamic state editing (hover, focus, error, loading, success) - Native breakpoint support (mobile, tablet, desktop) - AI-powered design exploration and variant generation - Canvas changes output as scoped, type-safe code diffs - Merge-ready PRs directly from canvas - Design QA with pixel-by-pixel canvas-to-live comparison - Collaborative review via shareable links and comments - No localhost required for sharing - SSO/SAML and SCIM for enterprise - SOC 2 Type II certification - Role-based access control - Audit logs and data residency options - DeepCode retrieval for large codebases - Unlimited connected repositories ## Integrations GitHub, Git repositories, Custom component libraries, Design token systems, Tailwind CSS, TypeScript ## Platforms WEB, API ## Pricing Freemium — Free tier available with paid upgrades ## Links - Website: https://modeinspect.com - Documentation: https://modeinspect.com - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/modeinspect
