SketchPrompt is a Cursor IDE extension that brings visual thinking into your coding workflow. Sketch ideas, user flows, or systems — then use them as part of your AI prompts, right where you code.
Draw, doodle, and map out your ideas with intuitive tools—just like pen and paper, but smarter.
Structured for AI analysis and collaboration, making your sketches AI-friendly and ready for magic.
Copy your sketch with a click and drop it straight into your next AI conversation.
Your sketches are always saved and organized, ready to revisit, remix, or share anytime.
Sketching helps you clarify, remember, and communicate ideas more effectively than text alone.
Don't waste time typing long explanations. Show your intent visually and let AI understand you faster.
No more switching between tools, windows, or tabs. Sketch, prompt, and collaborate—all in one place.
Built for Cursor IDE, SketchPrompt fits right into your coding workflow.
