Framer AI Agents - A Huge Change to Vibe Web Design! (compared to Bolt, Lovable & Replit)
235 segments
Framer have released something I've
never seen before on a no-code platform,
which is AI agents that are fully
integrated with the platform itself.
Everything from designing websites
[music] on the canvas to creating and
editing content on the CMS. This is
really cool. You can also bring your own
AI agents to the platform itself. It
doesn't mean that you're limited to
what's on the interface. You can have
your own Claude Code instance, Codex, or
even something like open clause start
editing changes on your behalf. This is
a huge change, especially for
professionals who are looking to build
websites on professional software. While
I've used things like Lovable or
Bolt.new, they're often locked into an
iframe and you're working on a fight
instance. You're not actually designing
in the traditional sense. So, I'm really
excited to see what these changes bring
and test them all out. Let's find out.
Starting on the Framer homepage, let's
log in. In our workspaces, let's select
this project I previously had open. And
on the right-hand panel here, we have
this new option for agent. Similar to VS
Code, we can open up new chats, select
an AI model to use such as Sonnet, GPT,
or Opus. I will show you how to connect
your own AI model a little bit later on.
Selecting the cursor, we can select
elements on the page to reference them
as context. We can send the message to
the AI. Here, I haven't actually
provided any details of what I want it
to do with the title block I selected,
but the model here is smart enough to
ask me questions of what action to
perform. Here are some. I'm simply going
to ask it to restyle it based on the
current design of the page itself. It
goes ahead and completes that action,
and here's the new design. It's made the
font a little bit more bold, the line
spacing a little less, as well as added
in this a linear gradient, which makes
the design look a little bit more
professional than just plain white text
like it was before. For every change
that's made, there's also history, so I
can undo and redo those changes at any
point in time. I can also bring up the
right-hand side context menu and have a
look at the prompt information, which
gives me stats on how long it took and
how many tokens it used. I can also do a
full revert going back in time
completely before I even had the chat
dialogue. And this very much reminds me
of how I normally operate inside of
cursor because I love being able to test
out different things and sometimes
revert them if they didn't turn out the
way I want. As you make different types
of changes and use up tokens, you're
also using credits. And just like things
like Claude code, there's a daily credit
limit. Let's head to settings over here
and then head over to usage to take a
look at that. Right now, we've used
about 105 out of our 500 daily credits.
You can also upgrade your plan to have
additional credits through the month,
but you still have the ability to
connect up your own local AI model
through something like Claude code or
codex and use your own credits rather
than credits through framer. Actually,
let's do this right now because I've
just run out of credits and I'm going to
have to wait until tomorrow to get some
more. If you head to this page here,
which I'll link in the description, you
can connect it to any of the software
you're using. Right now, I'm using
Claude code, so I'm going to paste in
this prompt here, which is going to
connect up my project to Claude code. It
goes through and make sure that node js
24 is installed as well as the framer
package for their agents. Once these two
steps are done, you're going to need to
copy out your project URL, which you can
grab here at the very top under the
project link. Once I paste this into my
chat window, I'll authorize this
instance of Claude code to have access
to this project. With that done, I can
now get Claude code to start creating
actions on this canvas. So, let's test
this out. I want to rework the
testimonial section because right now
the UI is a little bit cluttered. There
is a no space or padding in between and
I want to show all six elements. So, I'm
going to ask it to do that. Claude code
then grabs the skills that it needs to
be able to perform this task and it
starts running in the background. This
takes about 5 to 10 minutes and once
done, we have this a section here with
around six new testimonials that look a
little bit better. But, it continued to
work on those in the background. And
finally, we have this revision just over
here. I'm just scratching the surface of
what you can do with something like
this. Because, for example, you could
connect up Claude code to Notion where
you might have a project for a client
and pull the testimonials as a
real-world examples straight into the
design canvas. Now, let's take a look at
the CMS and how AI agents can work
natively between the designs you have as
well as the data you have all over the
place. Here, I have this testimonial
section and I want to convert it into an
actual CMS. I'll ask the AI to do this
for me and you can see it's processing
in the background and starting to
perform that action. In the design
canvas, you can see that this section
has been turned into a component that is
also connected to that CMS and dynamic
data is being pulled in. Now, to take
this one step further, let's turn this
into a reusable component so that this
section here can be used in other parts
of the website. I'll ask the AI agent to
do this for me and I'll get started. Now
that this is a component, I can also get
it to do a couple of different types of
variations in terms of the UI so I can
see what that experience might look like
in the website overall. I ended up with
these three variations over here and
overall, I like this one here called
spotlight the most because it gave me a
high-quality type of design that felt
like it was quite premium. Next up is to
test out responsive design. I'll prompt
it to create some responsive breakpoints
for tablet and mobile here for this
testimonial section and see how it goes
at handling that. Not too bad, pretty
much exactly how I would structure it
myself. We've got the tablet version
with two columns and the phone with a
single column design. Pretty much
perfect. Now, I want to test out React
components, one of the things that
Framer is known to do quite well. So,
I'm going to ask it to create a
countdown timer and make it a React
component inside of Framer that I can
modify and view the code of. You can see
all the code itself in this file called
slow countdown and it's a pretty big
file but also designed with the same
aesthetic that the page has overall
right now. I'll be really interested to
see how this works with more complex
components in the future, but for now at
least I know these AI agents have a good
grip off how to design these components
inside of Framer. I want to add some
animations now. I'm going to ask the AI
agent to create a transition animation
every time we have these elements on the
screen itself. This prompt runs in the
background for a couple of minutes and
once it's complete it creates this
outcome. It's a slow fade in with a
slight scale as the cards come into the
viewport. I'll select play so you can
see that once more. It isn't anything
over the top, but that's what you
normally want if you're creating
transitions or animations on a website.
The last test is the most difficult,
building an entire web design from
scratch from some reference images in
Framer. And I'm going to get the AI
agent to do this by attaching some
screenshots of the design from my
graphics designer just over here. It's
for a website called new collections and
I want to attach this and just ask it to
put together the home page. It gets
started immediately building out of the
design from the reference image and then
starting to add in the content that was
added in that as well. While the AI
agent is building out the design for the
home page, I can still jump in make my
own changes at the same time in
parallel. And this is pretty cool
because I know that sometimes the nuance
of what I'm trying to get done might be
lost on the agent such as these lines
here on the the categories. However, as
a last time the AI agents done a pretty
good job at replicating the design and
then I can jump in and update the
nuances that I might want to do as a
graphics designer. Finally, a big thanks
to Framer for sponsoring today's video.
There's still a lot more that I haven't
checked out with their new AI agent
update. Everything from uploading files
like images to replicate a design, more
coding examples, or even things like
working with the agent through something
like cursor or codex or even just using
it in the chat and doing things like
mentions, using skills, and other
features, which I'm really excited to
test out in the future. So, finally, let
me know what you guys think of this new
update. And if there's anything specific
I should test for the next video.

Framer has introduced integrated AI agents that allow users to design websites, edit CMS content, and generate code directly within the platform. Users can either use the built-in AI models or connect their own, such as Claude Code or Codex, for more advanced, professional-grade tasks. The video demonstrates these capabilities by re-styling design elements, creating components, handling responsive design, building custom React components, and even generating an entire website layout from reference images.
