What is Mowgli?

Mowgli is a design tool that generates app interfaces and specifications from text descriptions. You describe what you want to build, and it produces high-fidelity designs along with detailed specs. The tool integrates with Figma, letting you import existing design files, make edits through an AI chat interface, and export finished designs as React code or back to Figma. It's aimed at product teams, designers, and developers who want to move faster from concept to implementation without starting from a blank canvas each time. The free tier gets you started; paid options offer additional capacity and features.

Key Features

Text-to-design generation

describe an app interface and receive a complete design mockup

Figma import and export

load existing Figma files or send finished designs back to Figma

AI chat editor

refine designs by describing changes in natural language rather than manual adjustments

React code export

convert designs directly into React code for development

Claude Code integration

uses Claude for code generation and design intelligence

Specification generation

automatically produces detailed specs alongside visual designs

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • Significantly faster than designing from scratch, especially for early-stage concepts
  • Bridges design and development by exporting working code alongside designs
  • Works with existing Figma workflows rather than forcing a completely new tool
  • Free tier removes barrier to entry for small teams or individual experimentation

Limitations

  • Generated designs may require refinement for brand-specific aesthetics or complex interactions
  • Export quality and code usability depend on how well you describe your needs in text
  • Reliance on AI means results can be unpredictable for highly specialised or unusual design requirements

Use Cases

Rapid prototyping of app ideas to test concepts before detailed design work

Generating UI specifications and code for internal tools or MVPs

Creating design variants or exploring multiple directions quickly

Accelerating handoff between design and development teams

Producing baseline designs that designers then customise rather than building from zero
