IBM invests in generative AI app design startup Anima
IBM has invested in design-to-code startup Anima to help companies innovate how they design digital products in the AI era, SiliconANGLE reported on Feb. 5. Anima converts UI designs into code so developers and non-developers can create, modify and debug applications using natural-language commands. The platform integrates with tools such as Adobe XD, Figma and Sketch. IBM said it will support deeper integration with enterprise design tools and expanded legacy-code support.
