Frontier - AI Powered Design to Code, leveraging your existing Design System

Frontier by Anima streamlines the process of translating Figma designs into React code, with advanced AI capabilities and the newly introduced Code Inject feature.

By intelligently leveraging existing components and adhering to your predefined coding preferences, Frontier integrates seamlessly into your development workflow without disruption. The Code Injection feature goes further by automatically generating missing components and letting users inject them directly into their project, complete with all necessary files and assets, ensuring a smooth and efficient design-to-code workflow.
