Frequently Asked Questions About Dualite - AI Frontend Engineer
What is Dualite Alpha, and how does it differ from cloud-based AI coders?
Dualite Alpha is the flagship local-first AI frontend engineer — a self-contained, browser-executed application that generates, refines, and deploys frontend code without external API calls. Unlike cloud-based alternatives that require uploading designs or code to third-party servers, Alpha performs all processing on your device, ensuring full data sovereignty, deterministic builds, and offline capability — ideal for air-gapped environments or strict compliance regimes.
How does Dualite ensure data privacy and code security?
By design: Dualite never transmits design files, source code, or prompts to external services. All AI models run via WebAssembly and ONNX.js directly in your browser. No telemetry, no persistent storage beyond your local IndexedDB, and no hidden background connections. You retain complete ownership — and responsibility — for your intellectual property at every stage.
Does Dualite support Figma-to-code conversion for complex, interactive designs?
Yes — and it goes beyond static exports. Dualite interprets Figma’s interactive components, hover/focus states, transitions, nested variants, and even linked prototypes to generate dynamic, event-driven React components with proper TypeScript typing and accessible ARIA attributes — all while preserving your design system’s naming conventions and token structure.
How much time does Dualite save on frontend development?
Teams report cutting frontend build time by 50–75%: eliminating manual component scaffolding (≈3–5 hrs/week), reducing Figma-to-code translation effort by 90%, removing context-switching overhead between design and IDE (≈2 hrs/day), and slashing deployment setup from hours to seconds. One-click deploy syncs with Vercel, Netlify, or custom CDNs — turning “done” into “live” in under 10 seconds.
What frameworks, languages, and platforms does Dualite support?
Dualite currently generates production-ready React 18+, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui-compatible components — optimized for Next.js, Vite, and Remix. Mobile responsiveness, dark mode, and accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA) are built-in. Future releases will expand to Vue, Svelte, and native mobile targets — always grounded in the same local-first, privacy-preserving architecture.
