Smarter AI for real-code design. Create and refine layouts faster with components from open-source or custom libraries that follow your design system—so every idea moves closer to production.
We’re back with Merge AI 2.0—smarter AI, still grounded in real code.
V1 turned prompts into layouts with open-source components. 2.0 creates and refines them with an AI helper, image upload, and better models.
💼 For enterprise teams, we now offer Custom Library AI integration: bring your own component library via Git, and the AI will generate and refine UIs that follow your exact design rules. If you’d like early access, drop a comment or DM, and we’ll set you up. You can also learn more here: http://bit.ly/4rK4ig8
This update is about realism and control: AI that actually sticks to your design rules, so every idea moves closer to production—not to throwaway mockups.
💡 What’s new in 2.0:
Refine coded components instantly with AI prompts
Image upload for visual-based generation
Prompt library for structured starting points
Smarter AI models for better reasoning and layout
Expanded open-source library support (MUI, Shadcn/UI, Ant Design, React Bootstrap)
Turn vector designs into real code (and back). Available for built-in open-source libraries.
New code-backed templates.
Enterprise: custom library AI integration.

great work getting the launch published before the Holiday period! @nat_lasica
Just wanted to quickly throw a huge shoutout to the UXPin team for the tireless work that got Merge AI 2.0 out the door before the holiday period - this one was a true all-hands push 🙌
BUT.. we’re just getting started: we’ve got multiple new releases coming in early 2026 and more rolling out throughout the year.
Excited to keep building with this community and turning your feedback into what ships next 🚀
If you have any questions, feedback or banter - fire away! 👇
Short answer: yes, we’re aiming to reduce the rebuild from scratch tax. Longer answer: we think the fastest path to that is making exploration happen on real components, not mockups.
In reality the reduction in work for the dev is up to the designer and their willingness to design with coded components from the start - which is what Merge makes easy.
We are also aiming to make Merge intuitive enough (and creative enough with AI) so that the devs could design it themselves 🤷🏼♂️
There's plenty more to come! Reach out if you want a sneak peak of what we're launching in January 😉

Looks great team and well done on the launch. UXPin continues to evolve with the times and I especially of "hop in hop out"giving AI enough leverage to accelerate the work but the flexibility for me to still control the outcome. Great job!
@kari_brooks Thanks! It understands components and the typical patterns around them, so it can build those structures and then refine them as you go. Models like Claude and GPT-5.1 handle that really well, especially when you add DS rules or extra instructions.

AI done well atop an established and reputable design tool. This is the way

this has come so far in 12 months! Insane work guys.

@sriya_vipin Thank you! It’s been a journey for sure.
So I'm assuming you’re aiming to reduce the ‘rebuild from scratch’ work for devs? Or is this mostly a faster design exploration tool?
@elliot_langston Hey Elliot - great question!
Short answer: yes, we’re aiming to reduce the rebuild from scratch tax.
Longer answer: we think the fastest path to that is making exploration happen on real components, not mockups.

@luke_marshall4 Thanks so much, Luke! Really glad that balance comes through.
Looks great! Does the AI understand component usage patterns (recommended combos) or just individual components?
