Finally launched Helper — AI Design Review plugin for Figma!
Helper brings your design review into the future: it’s an AI‑powered co‑reviewer that audits any selected Figma frame in seconds. Simply select a frame and click Run Analysis to get:
🟢 Accessibility & Contrast — WCAG‑compliant checks, color‑blind simulations, and contrast ratios for every text and UI element.
🔤 Typography & Hierarchy — automated font‑size, line‑height and style consistency analysis.
🎨 Design System Drift — rogue styles, missing tokens and spacing issues flagged against your published library.
📐 Layout & Alignment — grid usage, padding/margin irregularities and auto‑layout pitfalls.
⚙️ Technical Export Readiness — export settings, missing slices and layer naming conventions.
Each issue comes with a clear description of what’s wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it. Helper never stores your designs: snapshots and metadata are sent over TLS, processed, and immediately discarded.
Perfect for solo designers, agencies, and cross‑functional teams who value consistency, accessibility and speed.

Congrats on the launch! This is a thoughtful step forward for making design reviews faster and more accessible. Curious - how are early users responding to Helper so far?
Thanks! Our user base is still very small: just a handful of early testers, but the feedback has been mosly positive.
That's the original progress, keep it up 👍
Thank you for your post! I rely on Figma in my daily work, so this was super helpful!
I do AI app + automation dev for startups , if you ever want to offload that side, feel free to reach out.
this looks super polished — I’m always struggling with little UI details and second-guessing stuff.
as a student building solo, something like this would’ve saved me hours 😅
Just checked out your product — the niche is 🔥.
Figma plugins are underrated, especially for speeding up design QA.
Did you run any beta testing or just launch straight out? Either way, strong start 👏
Launch first, fix later 😄
Thank you so much!
The accessibility analysis will be huge!
Congrats - great idea and I'm sure it will unlock efficiencies for a ton of people.
Looks great. Good job.
This is brilliant! As someone who's been building AI tools for content creation and automation, I can really appreciate the technical complexity behind real-time design analysis. The accessibility compliance checking is particularly valuable - so many teams struggle with WCAG standards.
Quick question: How does Helper handle custom design systems? I'm curious about the token detection accuracy when teams have non-standard naming conventions.
The privacy-first approach (immediate data disposal) is smart positioning too. Congrats on the launch! 🚀
Thank you so much — really appreciate the kind words!
Great question about custom design systems. Right now, Helper uses a mix of naming heuristics and style pattern recognition to guess token usage — so even if your naming is non-standard (like
primary-500,brand/main, orbtn-bg), it can often detect the intent. That said, accuracy may vary depending on how consistent the naming is.One thing we're really excited about is adding design system support more explicitly — so that teams can upload their token map or link a design system JSON, and the AI could validate frames directly against that source of truth. That would make checks much more precise, especially for large or heavily customized systems.
And yes, privacy was a core principle from day one — no data is stored or logged after analysis.
Great! Looks Useful.
Super useful tool — love the focus on accessibility and spacing. Congrats on the launch!
As a heavy Figma user myself, I can definitely see the benefits for a quick/final check like this! Is there also an option to ignore certain recommendations? For example, designing for B2B application the WCAG rules don't need to apply.
Absolutely! You can disable that specific check and others in the settings.
We know not all projects need to follow the same rules, so it's fully customizable.
