What is Banani?

Banani is an AI UI design tool that generates ready-to-edit interfaces and prototypes from text prompts, reference images and product requirement documents. Instead of producing a flat picture or a block of code, it creates multi-screen, clickable designs that sit on a Figma-like canvas where they can keep being edited.

The company describes its audience as product teams who need to ship UI fast: non-designers, product managers, startup founders, engineers and teams with limited design resources. Designers are also named as users who want an AI copilot to handle busywork. The site reports more than 100,000 users and companies, and generation is said to be powered by Gemini.

How does Banani work?

The workflow has three steps. A user describes an idea in a prompt or uploads a reference image, screenshot or Figma link. Banani then generates one or more UI options, which can be expanded with extra screens or turned into full flows from a single screen.

From there, the design can be changed by chatting with the AI or by editing manually. Users can ask for a more playful or minimal look, convert mobile layouts to desktop, or fine-tune colors and typography tokens by hand. Finished work is shared through a project link or exported to Figma, HTML/CSS, images or a coding agent through MCP.

Key features of Banani

Generation covers text prompts, screenshots, Figma links, design tokens and brand assets, either to create new ideas or to recreate an existing UI one to one. The AI produces variations of the same idea so teams can compare visual directions, and it can generate what a user would see after clicking an element, which reviewers cite in testimonials.

Editing and output are the other pillars. Paid plans include an agent mode that builds consistent designs with shared components. Export options include editable Figma layers with auto layout, HTML/CSS and images. Banani MCP links screens to Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. A reference library of app screens from products such as Tinder and Airbnb can be copied in and edited.
