Overview

CoDesign gives AI agents like Claude Code, Codex and PI a design engine for editable designs, not flat images. It imports InDesign, Photoshop, PowerPoint, and PDF files while preserving editability, and exports print-ready PDFs with CMYK and bleed. Every design opens in a built-in editor for manual fixes, and it runs on your machine with no account required.
