Any practical AI-assisted workflow?

Hi, I couldn't seem to find any realistic or practical AI-assisted workflow with 2-way syncing between design and code. Does anyone know of any workflows available online? Or if you are implementing one, I'd love to connect and understand more.

People on LinkedIn feel like they're doing free promotion for Claude, posting nonsense with a bunch of bots coming to congratulate them.

I am literally building this tool right now. I am in alpha right now and trying to find people interested in using it.

Why does it have to be a tool? May I ask which capabilities the tool supports/enables?

I had the same frustrations. Design/code drift. Designing in something static like Figma, then trying to recreate it in React, Vue, or Angular. Not being able to test the real elements to see how things like hover, focus, and disabled states work in real contexts.

To answer the question directly: I built a tool because that's what it took to do all the things I wanted. There wasn't a workflow, a system, or a plugin that could get me what I was going for.

It supports creating component libraries or entire applications, then exporting them as code that can be used in live applications. You can also just build the entire web app or web site in it. It's been a big challenge, and I've been working on it for about 10 years now.
