What is Zeroheight?
Design system documentation making itself the constraint on AI-generated UI
Three releases in February, each recorded twice. An AI Assistant embedded in SSO-protected styleguides lets viewers chat with the guidelines to find tokens and guidance. The same Assistant became available inside Slack and Microsoft Teams via mention. And a Figma-verified connector for Figma Make brings documented design system guidance into AI-powered prototyping.
What is Recraft?
Recraft speeds up its own Flash model while adding MiniMax image and video.
Recraft is an AI image and design studio that runs its own V4.1 models alongside third-party image and video models. November brought Logo Maker, GPT Image 2.6, an API Portal, prompt-free Vary, Gemini Omni Flash 1.2 and Vectorizer Pro. On 12 and 13 November it added four MiniMax H3 image and video models and replaced its V4.1 Flash with Flash V2, which renders text and photo-like images better at 1.1 seconds per image for the same price.

◆ Current state
Three releases in February, each recorded twice. An AI Assistant embedded in SSO-protected styleguides lets viewers chat with the guidelines to find tokens and guidance. The same Assistant became available inside Slack and Microsoft Teams via mention. And a Figma-verified connector for Figma Make brings documented design system guidance into AI-powered prototyping.
◆ Where it's heading
zeroheight's problem has always been that documentation nobody opens does not govern anything. All three releases attack that from different sides: bring the docs to where people already are (Slack, Teams), let them be asked instead of read (Assistant), and inject them into the tool that generates UI (Figma Make). The last is the most consequential, because it changes documentation from a reference into an input.
◆ Prediction
Expect connectors for further AI generation surfaces beyond Figma Make, since the Figma Make integration establishes the pattern of design system guidance as generation context rather than as a page someone consults.
Recraft
5.0DESIGN
Recraft speeds up its own Flash model while adding MiniMax image and video.
◆ Current state
Recraft is an AI image and design studio that runs its own V4.1 models alongside third-party image and video models. November brought Logo Maker, GPT Image 2.6, an API Portal, prompt-free Vary, Gemini Omni Flash 1.2 and Vectorizer Pro. On 12 and 13 November it added four MiniMax H3 image and video models and replaced its V4.1 Flash with Flash V2, which renders text and photo-like images better at 1.1 seconds per image for the same price.
◆ Where it's heading
Recraft is running two tracks at once: improving its own fast model so it stays the default for everyday work, and adding outside models almost weekly so users do not leave for them. Video is becoming a regular part of that lineup.
◆ Prediction
Expect more third-party video models and further V4.1 point updates, likely a quality update to the standard V4.1 model after Flash V2.
