Mowgli AI Review: Designing an App Before You Code It

Description and use

Mowgli AI produces a detailed frontend spec and all screen states, eliminating gaps that usually surface during review. Users must still verify the spec for issues like wrong empty‑state color, inverted secondary swatches, and outdated copyright dates. The free tier allows only one full design; Figma import consumes credits.

Problem

Developers often lack detailed frontend specifications, leading to gaps in UI states and design rules that are only discovered during code reviews or QA.

Outcome

Mowgli produced a detailed spec that eliminates common design gaps, but users must review for issues such as incorrect empty‑state color, inverted secondary swatches, and outdated copyright dates.

Workflow

• 1. Describe product in Mowgli
• 2. Mowgli generates moodboard, wireframes, screens, and spec
• 3. Review generated spec and states
• 4. Fix any identified issues (e.g., empty canvas color, inverted swatches, placeholder copyright)
• 5. Export to Figma or hand spec to coding agent

Evidence

Mowgli writes the frontend spec next to the screens, and that spec answers questions I end up asking in a pull request.

The spec is the part I would pay for.
