ion design

Ruby and ion design offer a groundbreaking AI-powered solution for product design and development teams. Ruby is an AI Product Design agent that lives in Slack, helping teams go from idea to live product faster and more efficiently. It automates the entire design process: from researching and analyzing user data, to generating multiple design mockups, collaborating with teams, and finally shipping production-ready code with auto-generated pull requests.

Ruby understands your use case by reviewing personas, usage data, and documentation. It leverages your design system and brand guidelines to create and simulate multiple user flows, ranking the best options. Teams can collaborate directly in Slack, providing feedback and iterating on designs until they're satisfied. Once a design is approved, Ruby generates the code and opens a ready-to-merge pull request for engineers, streamlining the handoff and reducing development cycles.

ion design complements Ruby by providing an AI visual editor for your codebase. It empowers non-technical team members—like product managers and designers—to visually edit, refine, and ship changes to live products in real time. With features like real-time collaboration, natural language editing, and deep integration with Github, ion design eliminates the traditional design-to-development handoff, allowing teams to cut development cycles by up to 60%.

Both Ruby and ion design are focused on making product design and iteration faster, more collaborative, and accessible to everyone on the team, regardless of technical background. Their solutions are backed by Y Combinator and have recently raised $1.8 million to further accelerate their mission.
