What is Visily?

AI wireframing tool closing the loop from prompt to design to code

Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.

What is Breakdance?

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

◆ Current state

Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc runs from making generated designs look right to making them useful downstream. Design Instructions and Deep Design addressed consistency and polish; Figma import opened a migration path in; code generation opens an exit path out. Plan Mode is the interesting addition — separating intent from generation, rather than treating one prompt as the whole brief.

◆ Prediction

With import from Figma and export to code both in place, expect the round trip to tighten — keeping generated code and design in sync is the obvious unsolved half, though the entries do not describe work on it yet.

B6.3

Breakdance 3.0 is out: Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can now build Breakdance sites.

◆ Current state

Breakdance is a WordPress site builder. Version 3.0 left beta on October 26 with MCP support, so any MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can build and manage Breakdance sites, and RC 2 added a setup wizard that connects an agent in a few clicks. 3.0.1 followed two days later with a WooCommerce PayPal Payments fix. The betas through September iterated on the MCP server and folded in the 2.8.2 security fix for the Design Library import flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The vendor shipped the same agent control in Oxygen 6.2 the same day, so both builders now treat AI agents as a primary way to make sites. Next steps are likely patching the MCP server as real sites use it.

◆ Prediction

Expect 3.0.x patch releases fixing MCP server and WooCommerce issues; what follows agent control is unclear from the entries.
