The verdict

A visual headless platform that turns designs and prompts into code on your own framework. Built for teams that want visual editing on a real codebase.

What it is

Builder.io is a visual headless platform where AI converts designs, Figma imports and prompts into code that runs on a team's existing framework.

It suits teams that want marketers to edit pages visually while engineering keeps control of the code.
