What is zeroheight and what does it do?
zeroheight is a design system platform that consolidates your design system into a single source of truth and delivers that context to teams, tools, and AI workflows. It's built for designers, engineers, and design system leads who need scattered decisions and guidance brought together — pulling synced content from Figma, Storybook, and repos so teams get a clear, current view of the whole system.
What problem it solves
Design systems tend to fragment: documentation lives in one place, components in another, tokens in code, and guidance in people's heads. zeroheight positions itself as the connective layer that pulls these together. As Julien Vaniere, Design System Director at Sage, puts it: "I want a very good source of truth that pushes knowledge into every corner of how we work. zeroheight is that connective layer. Everything we've built connects back to it."
The platform's stated goal is to "get teams and agents building from your design system" — meaning the same source of truth serves both human teams and AI agents.
Core capabilities
Based on the platform's own feature groupings:
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Documentation | Create and update your documentation |
| Delivery | Deliver your design system to teams and tools |
| Measurement | Get insights on adoption and usage |
| Management | Automate workflows and improve security |
Synced content from your existing tools
zeroheight consolidates decisions and guidance by syncing content from Figma, Storybook, and repos. This means you don't rebuild documentation from scratch — the platform reflects what's already in your design and code tooling.
MCP for AI agents
zeroheight's MCP (Model Context Protocol) gives AI agents current design system guidance as they work. Agents use the right components, tokens, and patterns, so teams get on-system output faster with fewer errors and inconsistencies to fix. This is the mechanism behind the "agents building from your design system" claim — the agent isn't guessing at your conventions, it's reading them.
Integrations
The platform connects to the AI agents and workflows teams already use, delivering design system guidance "right where the work is happening."
Who it's for
zeroheight organizes its product around several roles and contexts:
- Designers — working from documented components and patterns
- Engineering — building on-system with current tokens and components
- Design system leads — managing adoption, workflows, and security
- Design system maturity stages — early stage through scaling
- Enterprise and multi-product use cases
The platform reports being trusted by 20% of the Fortune 100, with Decathlon cited as rolling out their design system to 17 products across 19 countries in 4 months.
How to evaluate whether it fits
If your team's design system knowledge is scattered across Figma, Storybook, repos, and tribal knowledge — and you want both humans and AI agents building from one current source — zeroheight is aimed at exactly that gap. The relevant questions to ask:
- Do you already have content in Figma, Storybook, or repos that you'd want synced rather than rewritten?
- Are you trying to get AI agents to produce on-system output rather than off-pattern code?
- Do you need adoption and usage measurement, not just documentation?
If those match your situation, the platform offers a free start and a demo request path. Pricing details are available on their pricing page.
