Gesso

Key facts: Gesso launched on Product Hunt in November 2026. It is a Mac app and an AI design canvas: paste one address into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any MCP agent, ask for a deck, a website or a poster, and watch it build live on your canvas in real HTML and CSS layers you can drag, restyle and export. It reads the real design, not a screenshot, and checks its own work. Bring a page in and every section, picture and line of text lands as an editable layer, measured from the page itself in about 20 seconds. It is in beta: free to try with 150 agent calls, and the first 100 founding members get a year for $60.

Plans: Beta: free to try with 150 agent calls. First 100 founding members get a year for $60 (regular price $150). No further public price list was published: check the official site for current plans.

Best for: Founders and builders who want an AI to draft a design they can still grab and change by hand. Who should skip it: anyone on Windows, or a designer who works only in Figma.
