Together AI

Free

A Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex design skill that generates UI that refuses to look AI-generated via 57 slop-test gates.

Twenty Curated Themes: A catalog of macrostructures and design fingerprints so different briefs produce visibly different sites.
Fifty-Seven Slop-Test Gates: A rules engine that rejects on-distribution AI defaults and forces the output through a pre-emit self-critique.
Four Verbs: default (build), audit (score existing code), redesign (rebuild with a different fingerprint), and study (extract DNA from an admired design without cloning).
Custom Mode: When a brief carries creative intent no catalog theme fits, Hallmark designs from scratch with a bespoke palette, type, and layout while still running the 57 gates.
Self-Contained HTML + CSS Output: Every generated page is standalone HTML/CSS stamped with its macrostructure in a CSS comment for easy hand-off.
Portable Design.md Handoff: The study verb can emit a design.md so other AI tools can reuse the extracted macrostructure, type pairing, and colors.
Multi-Agent Install: Drops into Claude Code (~/.claude/skills/hallmark/), Cursor (.cursor/rules/hallmark.md), or Codex with a single copy of SKILL.md + references/.

Marketing Sites That Don't Look AI-Made: Founders and designers use Hallmark to generate landing pages with distinct visual identities per brief.
Auditing Existing UI: Score an existing codebase against the anti-pattern list to get a punch list of AI-looking design choices to fix.
Redesign With Same Copy: Preserve copy, information architecture, and brand while rebuilding the page with a different macrostructure and fingerprint.
Studying a Reference Design: Extract macrostructure, type pairing, and color anchor from a design you admire without pixel-cloning or reusing paid templates.
Portable Design Handoff: Export a design.md that other AI coding agents can consume so design intent survives across tools.
In-Agent Design Workflow: Developers who live inside Claude Code or Cursor generate production-ready HTML+CSS without leaving the terminal.

Paid

An AI QA agent that opens your app on every pull request and posts a verdict, captioned video and screenshot back to GitHub.

PR-Triggered Runs: Connecting a repository is enough - every pull request marked ready for review starts a test run with no pipeline config.
Journey Selection From Diff: TryCase reads the changed code and chooses which user flows are actually affected rather than replaying a whole suite.
Disposable Linux Environments: Each run gets a fresh environment with terminal and browser control, so state from earlier runs never leaks in.
Video and Screenshot Evidence: Results arrive as a captioned recording plus a screenshot commented on the PR, showing exactly what the app did.
Bring Your Own AI: Connect Codex through an existing ChatGPT subscription or supply an OpenRouter key and pay your provider directly for inference.
Agent Skills: Packaged skills teach Claude, Codex, Cursor and other compatible agents to drive TryCase environments without manual setup.
Parallel Workers: Up to twelve workers per bot run journeys concurrently, with testing time tracked separately for setup, the primary bot and each worker.
Usage-Based Hour Pools: Monthly plans grant a shared pool of end-to-end testing hours across setup, PRs and retries, with no automatic overage charges.

Pre-Merge Verification: Confirm a checkout or signup flow still works before approving a pull request, without pulling the branch locally.
Visual Regression Review: Catch layout and rendering breakage that unit tests pass over by watching the recorded walkthrough.
Agent-Written Code Review: Require an AI coding agent to return screenshots and recordings proving its change runs, not just a diff.
Suite-Free E2E Coverage: Give a small team end-to-end coverage without staffing the maintenance of a Playwright or Cypress suite.
Demo Clips From Branches: Reuse the captioned videos as short product demos of a feature still sitting on a branch.
Release Triage: Scan verdicts across several open PRs to decide which changes are safe to batch into a release.
