Mowgli vs Figma Make.
design copilot vs app builder.
Figma Make is a prompt-to-prototype environment that turns text into functional apps and interactive prototypes with real code. Mowgli, on the other hand, works on the product level and focuses on design, not behavior. It maintains a PRD of your product and designs for all your screens and allows you to iterate on those rapidly.

why builders choose Mowgli
design copilot vs prototype builder
Mowgli is a dedicated AI design copilot that operates on an infinite canvas (similarly to Figma Design), but with full product context. It can create a full app design from scratch, or import an existing one from Figma. It's capable of making wide ranging changes, experiments, and iterating on designs rapidly. Figma Make is a prototype builder that can create apps from text inputs. Figma Make is often used for clickable prototypes for individual flows or features, while Mowgli is used for full-app designs.
spec-driven vs prompt-driven
Mowgli starts from your app idea or an existing Figma design, and creates a detailed spec — user flows, features, requirements. Figma Make starts from a text prompt or existing Figma design and builds a working prototype. Mowgli's top-down approach produces more consistent results across screens and can handle large, complex products. Figma Make's approach gets you to something interactive faster.
design fidelity vs functional fidelity
Mowgli prioritizes design fidelity — pixel-perfect, designer-grade UI ready for handoff. Figma Make prioritizes functional fidelity — more narrow, clickable prototypes with logic and navigation. Choose Mowgli when you need polished designs; choose Figma Make when you need a working demo.
developer workflow integration
Both tools can export code, but they target different workflows. Mowgli exports React code and AI-ready packages for Claude and Cursor, bridging the design-to-development gap with structured context. Figma Make generates code as part of the prototype itself, which can be inspected and modified directly.

AI Design Generation
Generate complete, high-fidelity UI designs for your whole app or feature idea in seconds and iterate on it with a powerful AI assistant. Mowgli explores your product in depth and designs every possible screen, flow, and state.
Figma Import
Bring your existing Figma designs into Mowgli and use chat to edit, iterate, and evolve them. Tweak layouts, update copy, restyle pages, or rethink whole flows - all with AI. When you're done, export to code for building, or back to Figma for tweaks.
Chat with Your Design
Select any element and say what to change. Mowgli edits your design through conversation - targeted tweaks or sweeping changes, all in plain English.
Export to Code
Export your AI-generated or Figma designs as pixel-perfect React components, Figma files, or AI-ready packages with curated prompts for Claude and Cursor.
Style Steering
Steer your AI-generated designs with color palettes and style descriptions. Get themed, consistent designs that match your brand without manual styling.
AI design that understands your product
Start from your spec, not a blank prompt. Generate designs, then export to Figma or code.
