Convert Figma designs, screenshots, and hand-drawn sketches directly to production-ready React Native code using GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5, and Claude 3.7 multimodal AI—no manual coding required.

Multimodal AI: Figma → React Native Code in Seconds 🚀

Multimodal AI (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Claude 3.7 Sonnet) processes Figma designs, screenshots, and hand-drawn sketches simultaneously with text prompts to generate production-ready React Native code complete with TypeScript types, Tailwind/Tailwind-RN styling, Expo Router navigation, Reanimated animations, and full dark mode support ⚙️.
Designers upload screens to tools like Locofy.ai, Visual Copilot, or v0.dev, AI analyzes layouts/colors/typography/spacing, and outputs copy-paste React Native components that match pixel-perfect across iOS/Android 💡.
This eliminates 80% of frontend development time, enabling designers to ship native apps without developers.

🎯 Multimodal AI Pipeline

Upload hand-drawn wireframe → “Make this React Native
dashboard with charts, dark mode, and pull-to-refresh”
