Paper Design
Paper is a connected design canvas for teams shipping with AI agents. It combines a web-native HTML and CSS editor with desktop and browser apps so designers, engineers, and agents can work on the same files without exporting to a separate code handoff step.
Paper Desktop and Paper MCP connect the canvas to IDEs, terminals, and coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Zed. Agents can read selections, inspect layer trees, capture screenshots, sync tokens and components, and push design changes back into your codebase.
The platform targets product teams that want a continuous loop between design and code. Paper offers web and desktop apps, real-content workflows, responsive variant generation, and integrations used in production by teams at companies such as Vercel, Perplexity, Lovable, PostHog, and Tailwind.
