## Skip the canvas, start with the system

Figma - and every canvas-first tool - was built to draw pictures of a design system, not build one. You paint first, then reverse-engineer a system underneath, and ship code that never quite matches. Flash flips it: build the system first, and go straight to code that's actually accurate.

## How it works

Describe your product once. Flash spins up a crew of AI workers, each owning one layer of the system - color, type, spacing, motion, components - and hands back the finished thing about a minute later.

### Describe it

Type a prompt, paste a live URL, or connect a Figma file. Flash extracts the design DNA either way.

### Flash builds it

Parallel workers generate full token scales - colors in light and dark, type pairs, spacing, radii, shadows, motion - plus components.

### Ship it

Export CSS variables, a Tailwind config, or Tokens Studio JSON. Push straight to GitHub.

## What the pipeline produces

- Extracting brand DNA
- Building color scales
- Pairing typography
- Shaping spacing & radii
- Tuning motion & effects
- Mapping components

+ 8–14 domain-specific components, mapped to tokens

## Frequently asked questions

### What is Flash?

Flash is an AI design-system generator. From a single prompt, a live URL, or a Figma file, it builds a complete token architecture - color scales in light and dark, typography pairs, spacing, radii, shadows, motion - plus a set of domain-specific components mapped to those tokens.

### Who is Flash for?

Design engineers - solo or in teams - who own UI quality but don't have time to police a design system. Also built for fast-moving dev teams who need a system that keeps up with how fast they ship.

### Is Flash free to use?

Flash gives every new account a one-time credit grant to try it right away - no card required. The Spark, Forge, and Foundry plans unlock more monthly credits, integrations, and collaboration - see the Pricing page for details.

### Can I import my existing designs?

Connect a Figma file, paste any live website URL, or pull from GitHub and Storybook. Flash extracts the existing design DNA and turns it into structured, editable tokens.

### Does Flash stay in sync with Figma and my code?

Yes - sync is the whole point. Import from Figma or your codebase, export back to either, and when the system changes on any side - a token edited in code, a variable renamed in Figma - Flash re-syncs it so designers and developers keep working from one source of truth.

### What can I export?

Production-ready formats: tokens.css with CSS custom properties, a tailwind.config.js extension, Tokens Studio JSON that round-trips with Figma, and component specs. You can also push directly to GitHub.

### Does it generate real, usable code?

The exports are the same CSS variables and Tailwind tokens you'd write by hand, ready to drop into your codebase. No proprietary runtime, no lock-in.

### How is Flash different from AI UI generators?

UI generators give you screens. Flash gives you the system underneath them: consistent scales, semantic tokens, both color modes and components that reference tokens instead of hard-coded values - so everything you build afterwards stays consistent.

### Do I own what Flash generates?

Completely. Every token, component spec and export belongs to you - use it in client work, commercial products, or your own design tools.
