ProofShot captures screenshots of running applications and feeds them back to AI coding agents as visual context. Instead of agents blindly writing UI code, they can now see what they built and iterate. Works with browser-based apps and integrates with popular AI coding tools.

The Vercel AI SDK provides React hooks, streaming utilities, and provider abstractions for building AI-powered UIs. Works with any LLM provider. The standard for AI web apps.
Reviewer scorecard
“As someone who has watched AI agents confidently ship broken layouts, this is a godsend. The visual feedback loop means agents can actually catch that the button is overlapping the nav bar. Design quality from AI coding just leveled up.”
“Clean integration — just point it at your dev server and it handles screenshot capture and context injection. The token cost of sending screenshots is non-trivial though, so you want to be selective about when you trigger it. Works best as a verification step, not continuous monitoring.”
“useChat and useCompletion hooks make AI UIs trivial. Provider abstraction means switching models is a one-line change.”
“Vision models still struggle with subtle layout issues — off-by-one pixel gaps, wrong font weights, slightly misaligned elements. ProofShot catches the obvious breaks but do not expect pixel-perfect QA. You still need human eyes for production UI.”
“Well-maintained, provider-agnostic, and genuinely useful. The streaming utilities alone save hours of boilerplate.”
“The AI SDK is becoming the standard abstraction for AI in web apps. Tool calling and structured output support are excellent.”
