Rivet recently launched!

‍

^{"Rivet helps product designers change any UI themselves"}

‍

^{TL;DR: Product designers own the look and feel of their app’s interface with Rivet’s visual AI tools. No more waiting for engineers. Point at any element in your live product, change it, and ship it yourself. Rivet translates precise design intent into clean, reviewable code you can merge.}

Founded by Sam Gorman

Sam is a repeat founder and former early product engineer at Snorkel AI. He owned AI products for non-technical users as Snorkel scaled to Series D over 3 years. He started his career as a product designer and built at the intersection of design & engineering for the last 7 years.

Sam built Rivet because he watched the work of brilliant designers get diluted. He thinks product designers today are like artists without a paintbrush. They have to ask others to paint for them instead. We should just give product designers a brush, and let them paint their masterpiece in code.

Watch a customer polish their product with Rivet:

Here’s an example of how Item (a design-first, AI native CRM) used Rivet to refine details in their UI.

1. Select any element on a web application. Use your styles to change it.

‍

2. Refine your UI. Change spacing, colors, layouts. Get it pixel-perfect.

‍

3. Ship it. When you’re done, Rivet pushes quality code to your repo just like a frontend engineer on your team would.

‍

The problem: Design debt piles up, even at the best companies.

Every software company has a growing list of polish issues that never get fixed.

• Broken loading states
• Buttons that look wrong on mobile
• Colors that don't match your app’s styles
• Spacing that's off by 4px

Product designers live in these details, and they’ve been gated out of making real changes to real apps. Instead, they spend time crafting details that get lost when it comes to implementation.

Rivet helps designers own the quality of their interface, and frees up engineers to do more engineering work.

YC startups and design studios are already using Rivet to shortcut design handoffs and fix every UI polish item they can think of. Designers are shipping their own work. And engineers are getting their time back.
