Fusion is the first AI-powered visual canvas that integrates directly with your existing codebase, understands your design systems, and creates production-ready code that works with your current architecture.

  • Offload repetitive coding work to AI and reduce development timelines by 50-80% (based on Beta feedback).
  • Design and develop by providing Builder with natural language, screenshots, Figma designs, PDFs, URLs, and more.
  • Visually edit pages and then transform those changes into code.
  • Leverage your developer's already existing workflow by creating pull requests directly to GitHub with code changes and summaries.

Builder Fusion integrates into your existing workflow, allowing you to generate code that matches your coding style. To use Fusion to contribute to your codebase:

  1. Connect GitHub to Builder: connect your repo with Builder so that the change you make are actually in your codebase.
  2. Iterate and refine: chat with the AI to make modifications, refactor elements, or optimize code reusability.
  3. Send PRs: when you're ready for your changes to be incorporated into the codebase, send a pull request to your codebase.

While there are several ways to use Fusion, the main feature of Fusion is Projects.

Projects within Fusion connect directly to your GitHub repositories, letting you visually edit code and create applications with AI assistance.

After connection, configure your project to launch and view your code running within Builder. You can interact directly with your running application using Builder's Visual Editor, the Code Editor, or by iterating with AI.

After connecting your GitHub repository to Builder, prompt the AI to make changes to your code. With Fusion, you can:

  • Create text prompts that describe what changes you wish to make to your application.
  • Include Figma designs directly to the AI, using the Builder Figma plugin.
  • Add images, MCP servers, and more context to the AI, adding Context to your Project.
  • Converse with the AI to provide feedback, ask questions, or brainstorm ideas.
  • Provide custom instructions to the AI, to influence the code it generates.

Builder's AI will understand the context of your codebase, and make changes accordingly. Builder's AI can leverage internal and public APIs, external URLs, and much more to quickly generate new features or solve bugs in your own code.

For more details on how to best influence the AI, visit Project best practices.

Once you're done with the changes to your application, create a pull request to go directly to GitHub. With pull requests, you can:

  • Suggest changes to your team without committing your code directly to the codebase.
  • Seamlessly integrate with other developers, leveraging the workflow they already use.
  • Get help from @builder-bot, who will directly Edit your pull requests.
