Most AI-powered features out there feel off. At Zeplin we took our time to figure out how AI could genuinely help our users and today, I’m super excited to announce AI Design Review!
You can think of AI Design Review as your second set of eyes before you share designs with devs. It scans your designs and flags issues that might get missed — issues like:
→ Layout inconsistencies
→ Typos & casing mismatches
→ Accessibility issues
→ Missed token/component usage
During the beta, AI Design Review is available on all our plans — even the Free plan.
We want AI in Zeplin to be useful, so let me know what works (and what doesn’t). Cheers!
Hey Product Hunt! Berkay from the engineering crew at Zeplin.
From an engineering perspective, building AI that avoids hallucinations and provides real value was our top priority.
Instead of relying on a single model, we developed a multi-agent framework. When you request a review, our process kicks off by running a set of powerful heuristics to analyze the design data first. This pre-processing step dramatically improves accuracy before the data is ever sent to our pipeline of over 10 specialized AI agents.
Each agent then takes over with a specific job - one checks for accessibility, another for typos, a third validates spacing tokens. They then cross-validate each other's findings for correctness before you see the results.
This multi-step process, along with the latest models and strict guardrails, is how we minimize inaccurate suggestions and deliver a feature we hope you'll find incredibly useful.
And a fun little behind-the-scenes detail: we had to spend a surprising amount of time fine-tuning the AI's tone. Let's just say the initial versions were brutally honest reviewers! 😂 We worked hard to make sure the feedback you get is always constructive and helpful.
That's something quite unique. I like that this product isn't your typical "prompt to design" (which often produces sub-par results), but instead this product targets seasoned professionals, helping improve their designs even further. Absolutely indispensable tool for someone who can quickly design in Figma. Congratulations on yet another launch on PH! 🚀
Perhaps it's clear for a more experienced Figma designer, but I didn't quite understand how is this product shipped, is this Figma plugin? Is it a web-based platform? Can you export/import from Figma seamlessly? Or maybe you can edit figma files "in-place"?
@avloss Hey Anton! Zeplin is a standalone product that streamlines design delivery for designers, developers, and product teams. It integrates with Figma through a plugin, so designers can export their designs directly. Once in Zeplin, you can run an AI design review before sharing designs with developers.
@avloss@pelinkenez Congrats on the launch, Zeplin team! I am a vibe coder, and it sounds like an amazing tool to catch those easy-to-miss details 👏 Curious, do you plan to extend the feature to no-code coding platforms?
this is freaking great! such a good implementation of ai in the design process. love that this ai isn't building a design from the ground up, where often it still struggles with grid and etc. but rather, it provides instant reviews on issues that they eye often overlooks. amazing work you guys!
Congrats on the launch 🎉 As a team building iPNOTE, we know how tricky the handoff between design and dev can get. Even with clear Figma files, developers often miss small but important details.
Curious — how does Zeplin handle consistency across large projects with multiple designers and devs? Does it go beyond specs and also help teams keep track of design systems as they scale?
Yes! In Zeplin, you can create a styleguide to export your colors, typography, spacing variables, and components, then connect that styleguide to multiple projects. This way, developers working on those projects can access tokens and components in context — and even see where else a component is used, any other versions it might have, plus code snippets or its Storybook counterpart if connected.

Really like how you’ve framed this as a “second set of eyes”, it feels way more practical than generic AI add-ons. We’ve seen the same thing while building Escape Velocity AI (different industry, business consulting): adoption grows when AI removes the blind spots, not just adds features.
Are teams using Design Review more for accessibility catches or layout consistency so far? What interesting patterns have you noticed?
@andreitudor14 Thanks, Andrei! Too early to say for sure, but in our user interviews, designers were a bit more excited about the accessibility category. I’m also curious to see what the actual usage data will show.

I’ve had so many handoff headaches in the past typos, spacing, inconsistent tokens. If this can flag those before they reach dev, that’s a real time saver.

@marina_morris Exactly! This is what we built it for. Let us know if you have any feedback!
Every IT company's headache is designing, and Zeplin is solving that.
This is looking promising
Hope it can soon support more complex, custom design systems and integrate with more design tools. Keep up the great work!
Zeplin
@m050970905 Hi Minnie, thanks for the feedback! Zeplin currently integrates with Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD and Photoshop.
What do you have in mind for complex or custom design systems? What would you expect Zeplin to check there?
