Audits that find what was skipped
Point it at a Figma file, a live site or screenshots. It ranks every issue by severity and tells you whether to refine or redesign.
Senior UX work straight from Claude for every client.
Atelier is a plugin for Claude and Claude Code. It audits designs, synthesizes research, checks accessibility and writes handoffs your developers can build from. In English and French.
No credit card · Connects to Claude in under a minute
Research that holds up
Screeners, interview guides and synthesis. Transcripts are anonymized, quotes checked word for word, and every insight is tied to its source.
Accessibility, measured
Contrast is computed against WCAG 2.2 AA for every pairing, light and dark. Never estimated from a screenshot.
One request. A client-ready answer.
Bring a new brief or a design that already exists. Atelier figures out where the project stands, says how much thinking each task needs, does the work and hands the decisions back to you.

Questions.
Is Atelier a plugin or a connector?
Both. In Claude and the desktop app it's a connector: paste your Atelier link in Settings → Connectors. In Claude Code it's a plugin you install with one command. Same account, same projects.
Does it replace a designer?
No. It does the heavy lifting, from drafts and synthesis to audits and specs, and tells you exactly what you need to check, decide or sign off.
Does it work with Figma?
Yes. It works alongside Figma's Claude connector to read your files, and adds the audits, reports and handoff on top.
Can I trust AI with user research?
Interviews run with real people. Atelier anonymizes transcripts, checks every quote word for word, and labels anything unsourced as an assumption.
Does it work in French?
Yes. It replies in your language, and client deliverables default to French for Quebec clients, with English when the product is bilingual. Personal data handling follows Quebec's Law 25.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Plans stop at the end of the billing period and every report you made stays yours.
What Atelier catches.
“The personas looked finished. The audit traced every trait back to a source and found none. Interviews got booked before any new screens.”
“The grey hint text read fine on a laptop. The report put it at 3.12:1. It shipped at 4.6:1 instead.”
“A synthesis quoted a participant who never said it. Quotes are checked word for word against transcripts, so it came out.”
“The team wanted to start the build with half the specs. The handoff check named the five open items first.”
“The French screens were an afterthought. Atelier checks both languages per screen, and the longer labels broke two buttons early.”
