ion

ion Design is an AI-powered visual editor that bridges the gap between design and development, enabling product managers and designers to implement real code changes without relying on engineering resources. By integrating directly with your codebase and GitHub, ion allows non-technical team members to make visual edits, iterate in real-time, and ship updates efficiently. This approach streamlines product iteration, reduces development cycles by up to 60%, and empowers teams to focus on delivering exceptional user experiences.​

Founded in 2023 by Samraaj Bath and Samuel Barnholdt, ion Design started at Founders, Inc and went on to be a part of Y Combinator's Winter 2024 batch and is based in San Francisco. The platform offers a Figma-like interface that understands your design system, components, and tokens, ensuring that all changes align with your existing architecture. Whether you're starting from a Figma file, an image, or a prompt, ion transforms designs into production-ready code, facilitating seamless collaboration across teams.
