Your AI agent builds the app. Give it a UX designer's judgment.
An open-source UX agent for bitcoin builders who direct AI agents is on its way. It's being built to help your agent ship apps that are well designed and that people actually want to use.
The problem
You're not a designer. Your agent isn't either.
You direct an AI agent to build your bitcoin app. It writes the code fast. But nobody on the team is a UX specialist, so nobody is checking how the app actually feels to the person using it.
In bitcoin that gap costs more than in most apps. People are moving real money, and some actions cannot be undone.
What changes
Same agent. Same screen. A very different moment for your user.
A failed payment is where trust is won or lost. Here is the kind of fix Twibbit is being built to make.
Error
Payment failed. Route not found (code 0x1F).
The payment didn't go through
Your sats are safe. Nothing was sent. Sam's wallet wasn't reachable. Try again in a minute, or send another way.
Illustrative example, not a screenshot of a real app. It shows the kind of difference the UX agent is meant to make.
Where agents go wrong
7 in 10 builders saw their AI get it wrong.
We interviewed 10 bitcoin builders about how they really build with AI. 7 of the 10 had AI output that was made up, wrong or misaligned with what they asked for.
"Sometimes it just made up, hallucinated and I had to give it the documentation to see how it was supposed to build it."A bitcoin builder, from our research interviews

What it is
An open-source UX agent you give to your own agent.
An open-source UX agent, or skill pack, that you hand to the AI agent you already use. It carries a UX designer's judgment about how bitcoin apps should look and behave, so your agent can make better decisions without you becoming a designer.
How it will work
- 1
Your agent builds a screen
You direct your AI agent as usual. Say it is building a send-payment flow.
- 2
Twibbit adds the UX judgment
It checks the screen the way a UX designer would, and flags anything people can't undo or won't understand.
- 3
You ship something people can trust
Clear states, safe confirmations and messages that say what actually happened.
What builders asked for first
- 9/10An agent that follows bitcoin UX best practices without making things up
- 6/10To know where a design recommendation came from
- 5/10A way to check what their agent built against a named standard
Built with builders
We asked 10 bitcoin builders how they really build.
Every one of them uses AI to write code. Most act as the director: they steer the agent and review what it writes. Nine in ten asked for the same thing, a skill or an agent their AI can connect to.
"I don't write code anymore, but I direct."A bitcoin builder, from our research interviews
Who it's for
Builders with no UX specialist on the team.
- 1Solo builders and small teams building bitcoin apps with an AI agent
- 2People who want the app to feel right without becoming designers
- 3Anyone who has watched an agent get the details of a payment screen wrong
Most of the builders we interviewed work solo or in a small team and steer an AI agent to build. See who they are in the research report →
Who is building it
Open source, and built in public.
We're building it openly, in one public repository, so you can see how it develops, contribute, and tell us what your agent gets wrong. We're aiming to launch an MVP (a first working version) at the end of November. If you want to get your hands on it, drop your email below.
