Introducing Cuttlekit: The End of Waiting for Features

We’ve been heads-down at Betalyra building something we’re genuinely excited about: Cuttlekit — a source-available generative UI toolkit that lets AI create fully functional user interfaces in real time, from nothing but a plain language prompt.

Cuttlekit is our vision for the next era of enterprise software: interfaces that adapt to you on the fly, like a cuttlefish changing its colours to match its environment. No predefined screens. No ticket backlogs. No six-month roadmap to get a dashboard that should have existed yesterday.

The Problem We Keep Seeing

Every organisation we work with knows this pain. A business analyst needs a new report view. A product owner wants to prototype a workflow. A manager needs to visualise data differently for a board meeting next week. The answer is always the same: file a ticket, wait for prioritisation, wait for development, wait for QA, wait for deployment.

By the time the feature ships — if it ships — the question it was meant to answer has often changed.

We’ve seen teams wait months for a simple dashboard. We’ve seen analysts export data to Excel and build their own workarounds because the “real” solution was stuck in a sprint backlog. That gap between what people need and what they can get — that’s the problem we set out to solve.

Interfaces Generated at the Speed of Thought

Cuttlekit eliminates the gap between needing a UI and having one. You describe what you want in plain language. The AI generates a working interface — complete with buttons, forms, charts, drag-and-drop interactions — streaming HTML directly to your browser. No code. No deployment. No maintenance.

Need to pull live data from Linear, Notion, or an internal API? Cuttlekit connects to your data sources and renders the results in a purpose-built interface, generated fresh for each request.

What it can do

Prompt-driven UI generation — Describe what you need; get a working interface in seconds
Live data integration — Connect to APIs, databases, and business tools on the fly
Iterative refinement — Ask the AI to adjust layouts, add fields, or change visualisations through conversation
No infrastructure required — Runs in the browser with no build step, no framework, and no repo to maintain
Multi-model support — Works with leading LLM providers including OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Groq
Enterprise-ready — Sandboxed code execution, vector-based memory across sessions, and responsive layouts out of the box

Who We Built This For

We built Cuttlekit for anyone who needs software faster than their development team can deliver it:

Business analysts who need instant data views without filing a Jira ticket
Product owners who want to prototype and validate ideas before committing engineering resources
Operations managers who need one-off workflows and dashboards for specific business moments
Data scientists who want to explore and present results without building a frontend
Sales teams who need custom comparison tables, client-specific demos, or pitch materials on short notice
Customer support leads who want internal troubleshooting tools or ticket triage views without dev involvement
Compliance and finance teams who need ad-hoc audit views or regulatory reports that don’t fit existing tooling
Founders and solo entrepreneurs who want to validate ideas with working prototypes before hiring a dev team
CTOs and CIOs evaluating how generative AI can reduce internal tooling costs and accelerate time-to-insight

If you’ve ever thought “I just need a screen that shows me X” and then been told it’ll take three sprints — Cuttlekit is for you.

Our Thesis on the Future of Interfaces

Cuttlekit is more than a product — it’s our working thesis on where user interfaces are headed. Today’s software is static: designed by developers, frozen at deployment, and updated on a release cycle. We believe tomorrow’s software will be fluid — shaped by the person using it, in the moment they need it.

We built Cuttlekit because we believe the era of one-size-fits-all interfaces is ending. Business users shouldn’t have to translate their needs into tickets and wait for someone else to build what they can already describe. The technology to close that gap exists now — and we wanted to prove it.

Try It

Cuttlekit is in early tech preview. The source code is available today: free for personal and commercial use, with a commercial license required only for hosting providers. You can run it yourself and start experimenting right now. We’re also working on a hosted version so you won’t need to set anything up — stay tuned.

We’d love to hear what you’d prompt it to build.
