Design-focused software generation
variant.com (opens in a new tab)Variant generates software with design quality at the center. Rather than keeping a user inside a narrow chat exchange, it takes a single idea and produces an open-ended run of designs, letting people roam through options, stumble on directions they would not have considered and end up with better software. The company holds that software ought to be beautiful and treats itself as a creative business first, caring as much about how it connects with its users as about the product. Its team works from a space in San Francisco.
