Kite for designing alongside AI agents on a shared canvas

Kite is a shared design canvas where a designer can draw and an AI agent can work in the same file. It is for teams building screens, sites or brand assets that want existing design controls and a way to bring an agent into the review.

What you can build on the canvas

Kite describes layout controls for grids, rows and columns, plus a pen tool, type, components and variables. It says the designs are HTML and CSS, so the designer and the agent can work on the same material rather than exchange flattened screenshots. The publisher also documents copying editable layers to and from Figma. That is a way to move work between the editors when a team already has files elsewhere.

How agents and reviewers join

The hosted MCP server connects clients that support streamable HTTP and OAuth. Kite names Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor as examples. The agent uses its own plan; Kite says it does not bill AI credits. People can still review a file without using an agent. The comments documentation describes pins that attach to the relevant frame and move with it when the layout changes.

Limits on the free workspace

The pricing page lists one free workspace with three files and a daily allowance of 200 agent actions. It allows unlimited editors and viewers on Free. The paid Pro tier charges per editor and lifts the documented file and agent-action limits. Viewers remain free on the paid tiers.

For a first trial, it makes sense to choose a board with an existing design system and ask the agent for a small change. You can then see whether it edits the intended part of the board and whether the result is useful to teammates who need to review it.
