Endless design options for your idea — just scroll
Enter a brief idea and Variant produces a continuous stream of distinct design options, so exploration does not stall waiting for the next prompt.
Options are laid out for fast visual scanning, so you review directions by scrolling instead of describing changes in text.
Covering both web and app concepts, Variant helps you explore layout, interface and visual-styling directions for early product ideas.
Because direction changes happen visually, it is easy to bring several options into a stakeholder or client conversation and pick a path.
