Customer Overview
Scribe Agent is an AI platform that can create curated newsletters for users. Their primary objective is to assist individuals and businesses overcome the time-consuming process of writing newsletters for their audience. They are achieving this by developing an advanced AI product that can automatically generate newsletters based on parameters like themes, character count, tone, and number of stories.
Scribe Agent comprises a team of designers and developers working collaboratively to build their product. Designers are responsible for crafting the overall look and feel of the application, while developers handle the task of converting those designs into actual code. To optimise their development process and meet deadlines, they wanted their developers to focus on the backend, while the designers worked on creating responsive UI components and interfaces.
However, during their search for a solution that would enable them to do so, they encountered challenges with existing tools - many of these tools had steep learning curves and were not user-friendly when it came to setup and implementation.
Fortunately, Scribe Agent’s quest led them to discover Locofy.ai, a powerful tool that offers an intuitive step-by-step flow to seamlessly transition from design to code within a matter of hours.
While encountering the challenges mentioned earlier, Andre's developer Co-founder introduced him to Locofy.ai. Discovering a plugin like Locofy.ai was a big relief, as it allowed their designers to optimise their designs for generating high quality code, tag interactive elements, and make the designs responsive without needing any developer intervention.
In the past, the entire development team spent days working on the frontend before moving on to backend development. However, with Locofy.ai, they can now proudly boast the significant reduction in development time, going from several days to just a few hours.
Love the app and what it can do. It has truly helped our front-end development process, reducing it from days to a matter of hours for implementation. I believe it can be a game-changer that fosters better designer-developer relationships. If I were to guess, it has the potential to empower designers to handle the front-end of an application independently, reducing the need for dev intervention. This, in turn, would allow developers to focus more on functionality and back-end tasks rather than spending their precious time on the look and feel.
For Scribe Agent, one of the key features offered by Locofy.ai is the Design Optimiser. Now their designers are able to apply the best practices to designs, resulting in clean and responsive code, an improved layer structure, and an optimal user experience across various screen sizes. It has significantly enhanced their development process, saving time and effort while ensuring the delivery of high-quality, adaptable designs.
Moreover, the convenience of the Locofy.ai builder makes it super easy for Scribe Agent to hand over code. With various export options like zip files and seamless syncing to GitHub, they can efficiently collaborate with developers. The builder also offers a live responsive prototype, allowing team members to see how the code works in real-time, fostering effective collaboration and ensuring everyone stays on the same page during the development process.
Thanks to Locofy.ai, Scribe Agent has successfully built an AI-powered newsletter generator, and saved 80% of development time.
