Designers build screens on an infinite canvas, and the AI Assistant connects via the Agent Client Protocol, supporting Claude by Anthropic at launch, with more providers planned. Clate also ships a local MCP server for connecting existing AI agents. The full commercial version is planned for summer 2027, with variables and data bindings coming in 2026 and features like screen flows, animations, and collaboration planned for spring 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Clate by Qt and what does it do? Clate is a free, no-code, AI-native UX design tool built for embedded and HMI applications, released in beta by Qt Group. It matches designs to QML, Qt's declarative UI language, in the background, letting designers export working code that developers can build on directly instead of reverse-engineering a mockup. The full commercial version is planned for summer 2027. _Evaluating no-code tools for embedded UI workflows is easier with context from daily.dev._ ### Which AI provider does the Clate AI Assistant support at launch? Clate's AI Assistant supports Claude by Anthropic at launch, connected through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP), with more providers planned. Users need an existing AI subscription to connect their provider. Clate also includes a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so existing AI agents can connect to the tool directly. _Tracking which AI providers plug into new design and coding tools matters on daily.dev._ ### What's the difference between Clate, Figma to Qt, and Qt Design Studio? Figma to Qt is a plugin for designers who want to stay in Figma, previewing designs as real Qt interfaces and exporting complete QML projects. Qt Design Studio is for technical artists working hands-on with Qt Quick and QML alongside developers, including 3D interfaces for automotive use cases. Clate is a dedicated no-code tool for UX designers who want to own the full embedded product experience from sketch to QML. _Comparing design tool options before committing a team's workflow is simpler with daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI Assisted Design in Qt Design Studio: AI Assistant Just Got Smarter](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-assisted-design-in-qt-design-studio-ai-assistant-just-got-smarter-jftx7rjva) · Qt · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Claude Design is the best feature Anthropic's launched in a while, but it has some serious limitations](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-design-is-the-best-feature-anthropic-s-launched-in-a-while-but-it-has-some-serious-limitatio-zigjhcpob) · XDA Developers · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ui-design](https://daily.dev/tags/ui-design), [#embedded](https://daily.dev/tags/embedded), [#nocode](https://daily.dev/tags/nocode), [#qt](https://daily.dev/tags/qt), [#qml](https://daily.dev/tags/qml) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/meet-clate-the-first-design-tool-for-real-world-experiences-xg6nm98rj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Meet Clate: the First Design Tool for Real-World Experiences","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/meet-clate-the-first-design-tool-for-real-world-experiences-xg6nm98rj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/meet-clate-the-first-design-tool-for-real-world-experiences-xg6nm98rj"},"datePublished":"2026-10-27T08:10:17.318Z","dateModified":"2026-10-28T21:35:31.354Z","description":"Qt launched Clate Beta, a free no-code, AI-native design tool for embedded and HMI applications that exports working QML code.
