Problem
Designers and product managers typically work in static design tools that are disconnected from the actual codebase, creating a gap between design intent and final implementation. This disconnect leads to frequent back-and-forth with engineers, slow iteration cycles, and design systems that drift out of sync with the real product over time.
Solution
Soffi provides a collaborative development environment where designers, product managers, and engineers work together on live, deployed software rather than static mockups. The platform lets users edit design systems directly in code, see updates reflected in real time, and ship changes as production-ready pull requests without leaving the environment. All generation and automation are based on the company's own code, architecture, and data, ensuring that suggestions and changes are contextually relevant rather than generic. The environment includes a shared workspace with live sync status, comment threads, and video comments, enabling seamless cross-functional collaboration on real interfaces.
Target Audience
Primary users are designers, product managers, and engineers at software companies who need to collaborate on live product interfaces and maintain design systems directly within the development workflow.
