Asking an AI for a website and receiving code that you don't see working until someone deploys it is unnecessary friction. Canvas Designer turns ADRI's chat into a live visual editor: you see the website rendered immediately, click on any element to inspect it, and ask the AI for specific changes to that exact piece.
A Visual Editor Inside the Conversation
Most AI website generation tools work in one direction: you describe what you want, the AI generates code, and you have to deploy it or open it separately to see the result. Canvas Designer eliminates that intermediate step. The result is shown live, within the same chat window, updating every time you request a change.
Designer mode adds an extra layer: you can explore the project's file tree, change the viewpoint to simulate mobile, tablet, desktop or widescreen, and adjust the zoom to review the detail of any section.
Live preview
Every change the user requests is reflected instantly in the preview panel, without reloading or switching tabs.
File explorer
Browse the complete structure of the generated project: pages, components, styles, all organised as in a professional code editor.
Responsive breakpoints
Switch between mobile, tablet, desktop and widescreen with one click to check how the design behaves at each size.
Zoom and framing
Adjust the zoom level between different percentages to precisely review any visual detail of the page.
Element Inspector: Click and Edit
The centrepiece of Canvas Designer is the element inspector. You click on any part of the website being previewed (a button, a heading, an image, a whole section) and a side panel opens with all the relevant information about that element: the CSS selector, the applied styles, the position in the design and the corresponding HTML content.
From there, an "Edit with AI" button opens a menu of quick actions (change colour, adjust spacing, modify the text, redo the style) that automatically composes a targeted and specific request for ADRI, instead of having to describe all the context in writing again.
Why It Matters: From Vague Description to Precise Instruction
One of the biggest problems with requesting design changes by text is ambiguity: "make the button bigger" could refer to any of the buttons on the page. By clicking directly on the element you want to change, that ambiguity disappears. The AI knows exactly which part of the code it needs to act on, which translates into faster and more precise changes.
- Less back and forth: no need to describe the exact location of an element in words
- Scoped changes: the AI only modifies what corresponds to the selected element, without touching the rest of the design
- Full visual context: when sending the change, information about the element's styles and structure is automatically included
Use Cases
- Commercial landing pages: generate and fine-tune a service or product page in minutes, adjusting texts and images on the fly
- Rapid prototypes: show a design idea to a client in real time during a meeting, changing things based on immediate feedback
- Maintenance of existing websites: request one-off style or content adjustments without relying on a developer for every minor tweak
- Mobile-first review: check at a glance how the design looks at different screen sizes before approving it
Conclusion
Canvas Designer brings AI website generation closer to how designers really work: seeing the result live, pointing out what they want to change and iterating quickly. There's no need to open a separate code editor or deploy anything to check whether a change works: everything happens within the same conversation with ADRI.
