UI Innovation

kablUI

Compact UI Notation System · Released 2024

UI Design With Explosive Efficiency

kablUI uses only 5.5% of the characters needed for equivalent HTML, dramatically reducing token consumption in LLM contexts.

Why kablUI Changes Everything

  • 95% More Efficient

    kablUI uses only 5.5% of the characters needed for equivalent HTML, dramatically reducing token consumption in LLM contexts.

  • Built for LLMs

    Optimized for AI processing, making it ideal for design collaboration with language models like GPT-4 and Claude.

  • Human Readable

    Intuitive syntax that balances extreme brevity with natural readability for human designers and developers.

  • Enforces Structure

    Naturally guides designers toward well-organized, hierarchical interfaces with clear component relationships.

  • Rapid Iteration

    Make structural UI changes in seconds instead of minutes, accelerating the design exploration process.

  • Framework Agnostic

    Works with any UI framework or design system—from React and Vue to Flutter and native platforms.
