A design agent built like Claude Code

Planegraph’s design assistant is an agent with 10 tools. It writes a brief, builds the design on the canvas through a structured schema and checks the type as the images land. One message can make a single precise change or dozens of edits at once.
Planegraph’s design assistant builds a coffee shop poster: it picks a direction and palette, paints the ground, generates the illustration, places the type and checks the type’s contrast.

  • Plan, then build

    In Edit mode, the assistant writes a brief first: which line goes in which box, the typeface and the palette. You choose from up to four directions, and the assistant builds the one you pick. Chat mode talks the design through without changing the canvas.

  • Layout by importance

    The assistant fills a layout in reading order, biggest line first, and keeps clear margins from the canvas edges. Shared elements stay in the same place on every slide of a carousel.

  • Readable type

    The assistant holds text to the WCAG AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1. It measures the pixels behind each line of type, then recolors the text or adds a scrim when the image is too busy.

  • Fonts matched to each style

    Every style in our library comes with fonts matched to its weight and mood. The assistant sets each line of type in the font that fits the style.

  • Dozens of edits in one message

    One message can recolor every headline, move the logo on every frame or rebuild a whole layout. The assistant applies the changes as one edit, and you can still nudge any layer by hand.

  • Images made on the canvas

    The assistant generates images with Nano Banana 2, removes their backgrounds and regenerates any image layer in place.

Curated print styles

Finding strong style references can take hours. We curate print styles, so a design starts from a strong look in one message. Planegraph’s design assistant selects the style that fits and builds your design in it.
  • Grunge and photocopy

    Grunge designs use heavy photocopy grain, distressed type and high contrast.

  • Ink and pen sketches

    Sketch designs use ballpoint and ink lines on textured off-white paper, with type set over the drawing.

  • Watercolor

    Watercolor designs use soft color on textured watercolor paper.

  • Risograph and halftone

    Risograph designs use grainy two-color printing, halftone dots and lo-fi color overlays.

  • Mid-century and geometric

    Mid-century designs use large flat shapes, sharp geometric shadows and vintage print colors.

  • Editorial photography

    Editorial designs set type over studio fashion and cinematic photographs.

Everything you expect from a design tool

The canvas has the tools you know from Figma and Canva. You can use every tool by hand, and the design agent can use them for you.

Layer-by-layer editing

Planegraph keeps every part of a design on its own layer: the background, the product, the headline and the small print. You can change one layer, and the other layers stay exactly as they were. Each fix takes one edit, so revisions go faster.
  • Prompt edits on one layer

    Select an image layer and describe the change. Nano Banana 2 edits that layer and leaves the other layers as they are. The Fast option handles quick edits.

  • Background removal

    Remove the background from a product or a person in one click. The cutout stays on its own layer.

  • More than 30 AI models

    Generate has more than 30 AI models, including GPT Image 2, Seedream 4, Nano Banana 2 and Imagen 4. Each image you make appears in your assets. You can add it to a design as a new layer.

  • Manual text and color edits

    Headlines, colors and positions are layers you can edit by hand. Manual edits apply instantly and use no credits.

Frequently asked questions

How does Planegraph avoid generic AI images?+

We curate print styles, including grunge and photocopy textures, ink and pen sketches, watercolor, risograph and halftone prints, mid-century geometry and editorial photography. Planegraph’s design assistant selects the style that fits and builds your design in it, with real type on top.

How does the AI design assistant work?+

You describe the design in plain text. In Edit mode, the assistant writes a brief first: which line goes in which box, the typeface and the palette. You choose from up to four directions, and the assistant builds the one you pick as separate layers of type, shapes, masks and generated images. It checks the contrast of each line of type as the images land. Every layer stays editable, so you can move a headline or change a color by hand. Chat mode talks the design through without changing the canvas.

Can the design assistant make many edits at once?+

Yes. One message can change dozens of layers, such as every headline color or the logo position on every frame of a carousel. The assistant applies the changes as one edit. You can also select a single layer and adjust it by hand.

Does the assistant check that text is readable?+

Yes. The assistant holds text to the WCAG AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1. It measures the pixels behind each line of type, then recolors the text or adds a scrim when the image behind it is too busy.

How does Planegraph compare with Figma or Canva?+

The canvas has the tools you know from Figma and Canva: layers, type, shapes, masks, filters and a details panel. Planegraph adds a design agent built like Claude Code. The agent plans a whole composition, builds it in one run, checks the contrast of every line and makes dozens of edits from one message. A run can take several minutes to finish. You can watch the assistant work and step in at any point.

Can I edit one part of a design and keep the rest?+

Yes. Every part of a design is its own layer: the background, the product, the headline and the small print. You can edit a layer with a prompt, remove its background, or change its text and color by hand. The other layers stay exactly as they were.

Can I make carousels and slideshows?+

Yes. A design can hold several frames on one board, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9. You can lay out every slide of an Instagram carousel or a TikTok slideshow together and export all the frames as a .zip of PNGs. The assistant keeps shared elements in the same place on every slide.

Is the AI image editor free?+

Yes. The canvas, every editing tool and every font are free in the browser. Free accounts get 10 design assistant messages a month, shared with the Workflow assistant, and can export every design with no watermark. Paid plans add more messages and monthly credits for AI image generation.

Which AI models can I use?+

Nano Banana 2 generates and edits layers in the image editor. The Fast option handles quick edits, and background removal takes one click. Generate has more than 30 AI models, including GPT Image 2, Seedream 4, Nano Banana 2 and Imagen 4. Each image you make in Generate appears in your assets, and you can add it to a design as a layer.

What editing tools does the canvas have?+

The canvas has text with fill color, stroke, gradients, bold, italic, letter spacing and alignment. It has shapes, lines, freehand drawing, gradient fills, drop shadows and opacity. Images get masks, crop and filters for blur, brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint and noise. A mask cuts an image to the shape of a headline or a vector shape. You can reorder, hide and rename layers. Background removal and image generation run in the same document.

What fonts can I use?+

The canvas includes more than 80 font families, from editorial serifs and grotesques to display faces and hand-lettered styles. The assistant sets each block of type in a font matched to the style. You can change the typeface on any text layer.

Do I need design experience?+

No. You can describe what you want, and the assistant composes the design in one of our curated styles. The full editing tools are there when you want to edit by hand.
