Hey Product Hunt!
We built Polymet to help you create well designed user interfaces and prototypes without any design experience. You explain what you want or provide an image, and Polymet will design it for you and provide production-ready code for those designs.
You'd be a love Polymet if you:
- need good design but can't afford a full-time designer
- tired of waiting days for simple design changes
- need quick prototypes for customer demos but your design team can't help due to backlog
- tried to learn Figma, and couldn't because it was complicated
Here's how Polymet helps you
🎨 Design with AI:
Create designs by explaining what you want or uploading sketches
No design skills needed - you can make beautiful, functional interfaces
Quickly explore multiple design variations
✏️ Edit like you're working with a real designer:
Make changes using simple English
Select specific elements and request revisions, just like Figma comments
No need to learn complex editing tools
👥 Collaborate with your team:
Invite team members to your projects
Share preview links for quick feedback
Create custom demos for each of your clients
💻 Get production-ready frontend code:
Every design comes with high-quality code that fits your existing codebase
Setup the Github integration to synchronize Polymet with your codebase and to use your design system and component library
🚀 Create complex UI elements easily:
Make intricate components like color pickers, animated dropdowns, and smooth loading animations without breaking a sweat
We will ship Figma and GitHub integrations to work seamlessly with your existing design systems and component libraries in the next few weeks.
If you're working for a large team or enterprise, Polymet can help you communicate your ideas with the team, iterate faster on the design and reduce the backlog by allowing managers to create prototypes instead of design specs and designers to refine the designs after they take it off and your engineers can get the code out or use Github integration to get a PR.
We built Polymet because we needed it ourselves. It's like having a designer and frontend dev at your fingertips 24/7, without the cost or wait times. If design bottlenecks are slowing you down, give Polymet a try. We want to hear what you think and how we can make it even better for you!

@yusufhilmi_ Huge congrats, I will definitely give it a try. This looks amazing
@yusufhilmi_ I think thi is theway forward, get your designs from a cool tool like this and take help of cursor to build on top of it. An era of more solopreneur is going to come.
Hello @yusufhilmi_, I tried to sign-up, thinking perhaps that currently it's all for free since you don't mention it anywhere, only to be faced with the price plans after I created the account... This is really not nice guys :) Please be upfront with the pricing and show me the options before I create the account. And to make it worse, I can't delete the account from the app - to me this is a must especially with beta apps. It's not that hard to create a delete account function. I left further feedback earlier in the comments section, but I did want to mention this here. Hopefully you can improve the UX.
This is disgusting and the worst way to apply AI.
"No more design bottlenecks."
"Design without limits."
"Create with confidence."
Basically it's enabling people who don't appreciate the purpose or function of design to "make pretty pictures" that won't work because, as you say, to be a Polymet, you:
- need good design but are cheap
- don't appreciate the process of design
- you won't resource your design team sufficiently
- gave up on Figma, because you think you're a design god and that PowerPoint is enough
I get that the AI end times are coming for creative professions, but rather than look at how such a tool could unite leadership and design with enhanced productivity and collaboration, you're just replacing the design role with slop.
Your slides are ugly and your video is lame, and if it sounds like I'm angry it's because I'm a human writing this comment, not ChatGPT.
@chrismessina surprised to hear this take! In general I feel like even if these tools are marketed as "replace your designer" they're just tools. Good designers might be able to use them if they get good enough. Many builders can't afford or can't find great designers...just like no-code tools make it possible for non-engineers to build, maybe we'll see a wave of no-design tools?
@chrismessina Hi Chris understand your frustration but our focus has been on small startups who, until Polymet, had no designers, and use it to cover the design function themselves.
We have designers using the product as well, we assumed avg product hunt user would understand that this implicates that its actually a design copilot for those people.
Our marketing language, video, and slide can get better but we are a team of 2 running the whole thing instead of your usual bigger 5-10 ppls teams.
@chrismessina@yusufhilmi_ Hi Chris, i understand you concerns and thanks for your comment. It is clear that importance of aesthetic and creativity can not be ignored at any time. But the goal of Polymet is not to replace the creative process or diminish the value of exceptional design.
There are different size of teams, some of them can't enough resource to create design. Polymet is built to empower people who might not have deep design expertise to prototype ideas quickly. Also, AI is for complementing creativity not replacing. Polymet enhance design teams between other teams, between leaders. For marketing languages, it sometimes become attractive and it create hooks. @yusufhilmi_ I think Chris thought that the level of hooks should be again evaluated.
@chrismessina@kdrnp Exactly! Chris I think was frustrated with our messaging here, which I understand. There is also a frustration around the existing AI replaces job function pattern here. Understandable but I thought he was a more understanding person and not roast two product builders who is putting themselves out there to launch their product.
I've been using Polymet and it's awesome. Congrats on the launch. Front end coding makes my head hurt and Polymet means I can get a prototype or idea working for real - with a functional UI - insanely fast!
Rock on team! !🚀 🚀
@chrismessina Hey for sure, check this out:
https://yc-advisor.vercel.app/
Thanks to Polymet, it took less than 24 hours from idea to to putting it out in the world.
It was the first thing I tried. I thought was pretty cool for a one-day side project. It's an app to give feedback and improvements on YC Applications.
It uses a new AI search API we're launching soon with Andi, and was built with next.js on vercel.
I suck at front end coding tbh. I'm definitely a backend API guy. So I could never have done a working project like this and got it live in a day with my front-end skills before.
Background: I'm a YC alum (W22). My co-founder and I try to help as many folks with application feedback as we can. But we can never get to everyone each application cycle who we'd like to help out. So I built this quickly to help with that.
Without Polymet I'd have never been able to do it!
I've also started using Polymet to build new components for andisearch.com itself and more coming soon!
@chrismessina ps they key thing here for me is that Polymet lets you get a working prototype fast. It doesn't replace great design or a great designer. It augments getting to working code. For production use, I'm using it to do prototypes and working wireframes that I then work on with my team mate Darren (who is an awesome designer I've worked with forever) to turn into the final components. Polymet gets you to working code and helps iterate faster. That's different to tools I've used before. But for me it's augmentation not replacement 🙏
Congrats on the launch @yusufhilmi_ & team :) This seems really powerful. The UI looks great, and seems very easy to use as well. I definitely imagine this being the future of design, even for designers themselves. It's way easier to sketch something, and if you have a tool like this, it wouldn't make sense to start the design from scratch.
How are the pricing plans at the moment? I don't see any info regarding that, and would love to try it out.
Also, please mute the video on the landing page if you're going to autoplay it. It can be very annoying especially if someone opens it during the evening/night time and volume is up.
All the best with this!
Hello @yusufhilmi_, here's some more feedback after trying the app:
1) Loading progress bar would go a long way with the waiting time to generate the designs. The popups & animations are fine, but this still doesn't give me an estimate of how long is left until it's done.
2) Please give an estimate of how many credits will be used before a design is generated. This is especially convenient for paying customers or if credits vary from one design to another!
3) Please offer an easy way to edit text, I'm not even sure this is possible right now I couldn't find a way other then saying what needs to be changed and regenerating the page and using an additional 50 credits 😅 Definitely not nice if I was paying for this.
4) Include a Sign in button on the landing page. For some users it might not be obvious that you have to click on the Sign up button again in order to go to the projects page.
Overall the UI is really nice and the product is very easy to use :)
@owenfar Thanks for the feedback Owen!
It usually takes 30-40 seconds to generate and there is no strict way to predict how long it'd take.
If you go to app.polymet.ai/pricing after you login you'll be able to see the credits per page generation and credits per component generation
