Framer adds live code sync with AI-assisted responsive refactors

Design · 5 min read

With the new live code sync, changes made in the visual editor update the underlying React components in real time, and edits in the code editor reflect back on the canvas. An AI-assisted refactor tool proposes responsive patterns—like stacking rules or breakpoint-specific props—based on component intent.

The assistant highlights suggested code changes with rationales and offers an 'apply-and-run' option so teams can test behavior across viewports instantly. Framer included a diff view to review automated refactors before merging them into source control.

Teams using Framer report smoother handoffs and fewer layout regressions during QA. The feature is particularly helpful for small teams where designers and engineers share ownership of components and need fast iteration loops.
