About Codesign

CoDesign gives your coding agent a real design engine. Generate, edit, and automate fully editable designs — print, social, and video — straight from the chat, then export print-ready PDFs, images, mp4 video, and more. You steer, the agent edits the same scene, and you keep control of the outcome.
