[back to company universe](https://highsignal.app/case-studies) AI infrastructure # Rivet Rivet is a visual AI editor for product designers to make UI changes. Designers ship the changes they make directly to their codebase. The most painful problem for designers today is that their vision doesn't match code. Rivet replaces slow collaboration between designers and engineers by letting designers just do it themselves. Rivet's editor helps turn product designers into design engineers. Design-led companies in YC are Rivet customers.

[### Agentic Labs match 70Agentic Labs is making software design and architecture less painful by building AI into the process. Today, developers have no shortage of tools for instantly creating chunks of code, but designing the systems that integrate this code is the hardest and most manual part of software engineering. Our first product is Glide, an AI-first editor purpose-built for writing technical design docs. It connects to your codebase and saves your engineering team time on triage, planning, and implementation oshared product terms: design, painful, today, code; shared product theme: developer infrastructure; shared affiliation: Y Combinator](https://highsignal.app/case-studies/agentic-labs)[### Alloy match 69Alloy is an AI prototyping tool for product managers. Clone any page of your live product with the Chrome extension to turn ideas, wireframes, and Figma designs into interactive, high-fidelity prototypes your team and customers understand. Alloy's Cloud Agent connects to your codebase and takes changes from prototype to production, and its AI chat can redesign any existing website.
