Build Apps Inspired by Any Website

Capture any site’s visual DNA — colors, typography, and spacing — and apply it to your prototype instantly. No design briefs, just results.

What’s New in Anima Playground

Now, anyone can capture professional brand aesthetics. Meet Inspired By. Add any website URL to your prompt, and Anima extracts its visual language and applies it to whatever you are prototyping.

Product managers, marketers, and founders with no design skills can now communicate ideas with polished, on-brand prototypes.

For professional designers, this is a fast way to iterate — take a spec or wireframes and ask Anima for inspiration. Pro tip: Try the same prompt three times to get different concepts for exploration.

How It Works

  1. Add inspired by [link] to any prompt.
    Example: “Create an insurance calculator inspired by somesite.com, features: …”
  2. Anima extracts brand colors, typography, spacing, and layout patterns.
  3. Your prototype inherits that brand’s visual DNA.
  4. Tweak it, prompt it, or export it.

The site you reference doesn’t have to be your website or even in your industry. Anima translates the visual language, not the content.

Why Use “Inspired By”?

  • Stay on-brand: Create concepts rapidly using your brand’s visual language.
  • Skip heavy design guideline prompts: A URL reference does the heavy lifting.
  • Communicate visual direction instantly: “Like Netflix.com” becomes tangible in seconds.
  • Start with proven aesthetics: Begin with what works instead of a blank canvas.

Inspired By for Product Managers

Product managers can — and should — use Inspired By to ideate and communicate ideas quickly.

  • Communicate ideas without design skills.
  • Show stakeholders exactly what you mean using familiar references.
  • Prototype competitor aesthetics without guessing.
  • Walk into meetings with polished visuals.
  • Replace vague design briefs with a simple URL.

Inspired By for Product Designers and UX/UI Experts

  • Explore visual directions fast from a single prompt or spec.
  • Go from wireframes to coherent concepts in minutes.
  • Break creative inertia with AI-generated variations.
  • Compare aesthetics side-by-side.
  • Validate a direction before investing in detailed design.
  • Collaborate better using tangible visual outputs.

Inspired By for Marketing Teams

Marketing teams are often short on resources. Anima gives you an extra hand to design, build, and brainstorm by simply prompting.

  • Build landing pages inspired by high-converting sites.
  • Stay on-brand while testing new directions.

Inspired By for Founders and Sales

  • Demo features before they’re developed.
  • Create client pitches that match existing brand aesthetics.
  • Personalize demos by referencing a prospect’s website.
  • Prototype investor decks with polished visuals.
  • Deploy full-screen demos with a single click.

When to Use Clone Website vs. Inspired By

Inspired By is ideal when you want to borrow a site’s styling — colors, typography, spacing, and overall feel — while generating a brand-new layout based on your prompt. It’s perfect for ideation and aesthetic exploration.

Clone Website is best when you want the structure itself — layout, content flow, and components — as a starting point. Anima rebuilds the page in clean, editable code for fast redesigns and demos.

  • Use Inspired By → You want the vibes, not the layout.
  • Use Clone Website → You want the structure and components.

Many teams combine both: clone a flow for structure, then re-style it with Inspired By to explore new directions.

From Inspiration to Implementation

Why start from scratch when you can start with proven aesthetics? Pick your inspiration and let Anima Playground create your concepts.
