Nitpicks - Fixing user facing bugs and errors automatically

How designers, PMs and developers are fixing bugs without writing code

A few months ago, we built an AI tool that can take a screen recording of a bug and just… fix it. You record yourself explaining what’s wrong, the tool figures out the issue, makes the code changes, and opens a pull request on GitHub. From there, any feedback in the review process gets handled automatically too. Nobody needs to touch a single line of code.

At first, we built it for developers. But something interesting happened — designers started using it. A lot. Over the last month, they’ve opened more than 100 pull requests. Designers who used to rely on developers for tiny tweaks can now just record a quick video or annotate a few things, and see the fix live.

It’s also saving developers from endless rounds of pixel-perfect comments — no more “this padding is off by 2px” messages.

Here’s how people are using it today:

1. Fixing bugs with a quick screen recording. You spot a bug on your app, record your screen while explaining it, and Nitpicks fixes it automatically.
2. Making QA-style tweaks. Designers and PMs annotate UI components directly — update copy, margins, colors, whatever — and the tool applies those changes in code.
3. Prototyping new features. You describe a new flow or feature idea on a screen recording, and it gets implemented.

It’s been really fun to watch how different roles use it. PMs love changing copy in seconds. Designers finally have control over the UI. And developers get to focus on building new things instead of getting frustrated with pixel bugs.

If that sounds like something your team could use, give it a try. You might be surprised how much smoother collaboration feels when everyone can actually fix what they see.
