About Outkit
We got tired of AI
looking like a terminal.
We're founding engineers who've built products from zero to launch at startups where speed and polish are non-negotiable.
Same content. Same AI. Just rendered properly.
When the AI wave hit, we did what everyone did: plugged in an LLM, connected an API, and started shipping AI-powered features. The responses were smart. The UI was not.
Every team we talked to had the same problem. The solutions were all the same too: custom parsing logic, brittle regex, prompt engineering gymnastics to force structured output, or just... accepting the markdown.
None of it felt right. We didn't want to change our prompts. We didn't want to add middleware. We wanted the AI to stay exactly as it was — we just wanted its output to look like it belonged in a real product.
How we think
Design principles
Post-processing, not in your way
Your agent stays the same. Your prompts stay the same. Outkit works after the response, transforming plain text into rich, interactive UI without touching your AI pipeline.
Zero architecture changes
One component swap and an API key. No middleware, no inference proxies, no prompt rewrites. Your AI pipeline stays exactly as it is. Outkit just makes the output look better.
Craft over convenience
We don't ship generic component libraries and call it a day. The aim is the kind of UI you'd build by hand if you had unlimited time. With the design profiles, you can customize the look and feel to fit your product perfectly. Outkit is a rendering atelier, not a component vending machine.
Performance is a feature
AI interfaces need to feel instant. We obsess over bundle size, render performance, and streaming. Your users shouldn't pay a speed tax for a better-looking response.
What we believe
The atelier approach
An atelier is a workshop where craft meets precision, where every detail is considered, every decision intentional.
That's how we think about developer tools. The SDK you integrate should feel like it was built by someone who cares about the same things you do: clean APIs, small bundles, thoughtful defaults, and interfaces that make users pause and think “this is well-made.”
AI is moving fast. The tooling doesn't have to be sloppy.
