Patchrooms vs Figma comments: feedback that’s ready for your agent
Figma comments are perfect for aligning on a design before anything is built. Patchrooms reviews the live artifact after the AI builds it. They map cleanly to design-time and build-time review.
Try the live demoWhat Figma comments is good for
- Annotation inside the design file, before anything is built.
- Collaborative markup on mockups and design systems.
- Aligning the design team on a static composition.
Where teams outgrow it
- Figma comments live on the mockup, not the running product.
- Once the AI builds the real app, you need feedback on the live artifact.
- Figma comments close the loop on the designer, not on code or an agent.
Patchrooms vs Figma comments
| Figma comments | Patchrooms | |
|---|---|---|
| Surface | The design file / mockup | The live, running artifact |
| Stage | Before build | After build |
| Closes loop on | The designer | The code / AI agent |
| Output | Comment in Figma | Agent-ready Markdown with selector |
| Anchoring | Frame on the canvas | DOM selector on the page |
| Voice feedback | Typed comments | Typed or a voice note, auto-transcribed |
When to use both
Use Figma comments to align on the design before building. Once the AI ships a live preview, use Patchrooms to review the real artifact and feed the agent. They cover design-time and build-time review respectively.
FAQ
- Does Patchrooms replace Figma comments?
- No: they apply at different stages. Figma comments review the mockup before build; Patchrooms reviews the live artifact after the AI builds it. Use both across the lifecycle.
- Can Patchrooms annotate a design mockup?
- Patchrooms anchors to live DOM elements on a rendered page, so it is built for the running artifact rather than a static Figma frame. Keep Figma comments for the design stage.
