What is Oxygen?
The agent-driven builder is real; the beta train fixing it is still running.
Oxygen spent the 6.2 cycle opening its object model to outside AI agents, and is now four betas deep into stabilising it. The headline capability — an agent creating and editing pages, templates, Components, selectors, variables and site settings — shipped in July and has not changed since; everything after it has been correction. Beta 3 added the other substantive item of the cycle, localisation, ending the requirement to build in English.
What is Visily?
AI wireframing tool closing the loop from prompt to design to code
Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.

Oxygen
6.3DESIGN
The agent-driven builder is real; the beta train fixing it is still running.
◆ Current state
Oxygen spent the 6.2 cycle opening its object model to outside AI agents, and is now four betas deep into stabilising it. The headline capability — an agent creating and editing pages, templates, Components, selectors, variables and site settings — shipped in July and has not changed since; everything after it has been correction. Beta 3 added the other substantive item of the cycle, localisation, ending the requirement to build in English.
◆ Where it's heading
The release rhythm has settled into long beta trains punctuated by one directional release, and 6.2's beta run is now longer than 6.1's was. Fix areas named in the latest beta — builder, Gutenberg, MCP server — show where the agent integration is costing stability: the MCP surface is being debugged in public alongside the ordinary builder regressions. Localisation arriving mid-beta rather than at 6.2's announcement suggests scope is still being added to the train.
◆ Prediction
With Beta 4 listing fixes rather than features, an RC is the next expected step before 6.2 goes final. Whether the MCP server keeps appearing in bug-fix lists is the thing to watch — it is the part of 6.2 with no prior release history to lean on.

◆ Current state
Visily's dated update posts show a steady march up the fidelity ladder. March added code generation for designs, a Plan Mode for ideation ahead of AI generation, and unsupported font replacement on Figma imports. February brought Figma import itself and blur effects; January added Design Instructions for consistent output and a Deep Design mode. Earlier releases covered shadows, a browser capture overlay, an AI Content Filler and interactive dropdowns.
◆ Where it's heading
The arc runs from making generated designs look right to making them useful downstream. Design Instructions and Deep Design addressed consistency and polish; Figma import opened a migration path in; code generation opens an exit path out. Plan Mode is the interesting addition — separating intent from generation, rather than treating one prompt as the whole brief.
◆ Prediction
With import from Figma and export to code both in place, expect the round trip to tighten — keeping generated code and design in sync is the obvious unsolved half, though the entries do not describe work on it yet.
