Brilliant
Professional vector design tool you and your AI agents drive together
Product Overview
Brilliant is a professional vector design tool built around AI agents. Designer and AI work on the same real canvas: you describe what you want, agents create fully editable native vector layers, and you refine them by hand. It runs on a world-class GPU engine with liquid-glass materials, shader fills, and 6,000+ built-in icons. Brilliant is both an MCP server and client. You can drive it from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or GitHub Copilot, or connect any MCP server into its own harness. Design files are stored as plain-text Blueprint files, so you can diff them in pull requests, branch them like code, and let any agent read them. Built-in design systems, tokens, modes and brands keep every screen on-brand, while per-turn revert and a quality linter check spacing and contrast before edits reach the canvas. Export to PNG, SVG, React, HTML, PDF and video, or round-trip with Figma in one click.
