Tela
AI design system that turns natural language into production-ready HTML
AI design system that turns natural language into production-ready HTML
Tela is an AI-powered design system that turns natural language into production-ready HTML. Describe what you want — Tela generates clean, semantic HTML styled with Tailwind CSS. No Figma. No handoff. No "developer, please implement this mockup." The design is the code.
With Figma, you design in one tool and then a developer rebuilds it in another. Two steps, two interpretations, constant drift between what was designed and what got shipped. Tela collapses that into one step: describe it, see it, ship it.
Developers who want to design. Skip the design tool entirely. Describe a layout in plain language, refine it conversationally, and get production HTML you'd actually commit. No context-switching to Figma, no waiting for a designer. Developers become self-sufficient for UI work — and dramatically faster for it.
Designers who want to move faster. AI handles the markup so you can focus on the decisions that matter: layout, hierarchy, spacing, color. Iterate in seconds instead of hours. The output isn't a picture of a website — it's the website. What you see is what ships.
Project managers and sales teams who need to show, not tell. Walk into a client meeting, describe their requirements, and present a working prototype on the spot. No more "imagine it looks like this" — show them real HTML they can click through. Turn a discovery call into a demo.
The design-to-code pipeline is broken. Figma produces beautiful mockups that then need to be rebuilt from scratch by a developer. Two people doing the same work twice — one in a visual tool, one in code. Every handoff introduces drift. Every iteration requires another round trip.
Component libraries help, but they force you into someone else's abstractions. CSS utility frameworks give power but no guardrails. And the fundamental problem remains: there's a wall between the person who designs and the person who builds.
Tela removes the wall. The AI understands design tokens, spacing scales, color palettes, and component patterns. You describe what you want in conversation — a hero section, a pricing grid, a dashboard layout — and Tela generates production-ready HTML with Tailwind CSS. Refine it in natural language. What you see in the editor is real markup, ready to deploy.
No export step. No developer handoff. No rebuilding what was already designed.
The workflow is the same whether you're a developer prototyping a feature, a designer iterating on a layout, or a PM showing a client what their product could look like. Everyone works in one tool, and the output is always shippable code.
Under the hood, Tela itself is built with fluent-html — our type-safe TypeScript HTML builder — dogfooding the same stack we use across all our projects.
