About Inspector
Summary
Inspector builds an AI-native IDE for front-end engineers that links the browser directly to the codebase. Developers select any visual element in the browser, prompt a change, and coding agents receive the same runtime context a developer sees: rendered visuals, DOM elements, and console logs. This replaces the manual work of copying screenshots, switching tabs, and hunting through code to explain UI state to an AI tool.
Go-to-market
Front-end engineers download Inspector as a macOS browser and use it alongside existing tools such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor agents, with no separate subscription required for those agents.

AI IDE for front-end development
Inspector helps front-end engineers ship faster with AI by automating the most frustrating part of the job — gathering context between the browser and the codebase. Inspector is an AI IDE for front-end that connects your browser and codebase. Inspector lets you select elements visually and prompt changes, giving coding agents access to the same runtime context developers have: visuals, elements, and logs. With Inspector, you’re editing right in the front-end, not buried under tabs and screenshots.
