Framer updates prototyping workflow with 'Branch AI' — contextual code suggestions for interactions

Design · 3 min read

Framer's latest release includes Branch AI, a feature that analyzes a prototype's existing components and suggests interaction code snippets, state machines, and animation curves tailored to the project. Branch AI emphasizes exportable, readable code suitable for handoff.

Designers can prompt Branch AI with human-readable descriptions — e.g., "make this modal swipeable and preserve scroll position" — and the tool generates a scaffolded implementation with comments and fallback behaviors. The snippets are built to integrate with common frameworks like React and Svelte.

Framer also added versioned suggestion history so teams can compare AI proposals and select preferred behaviors. This closer tie between prototyping and production aims to reduce the iteration loop and miscommunication during handoff.
