Get Filters
Returns all valid filter values for the BuildLike search API: supported platforms, scopes, company categories, and web section types. Call this before searching so you know which filter values are available.
Get Brand
Returns the brand profile for a company: identity, color palette, fonts, tone, voice, and personality. Use this to understand how a brand presents itself visually and verbally.
Get Company
Returns company overview for a given slug: name, description, category, tags, which platforms are covered (web/iOS), section and screen counts, and a list of similar companies. Use this to check if a company is in the BuildLike library and understand what coverage exists before searching.
Search Web Sections
Use this tool whenever the user asks to see, find, show, or browse web UI — hero sections, footers, CTAs, pricing pages, landing pages, etc. from real company websites. Also use for requests like 'show me X company's website', 'find a dark pricing section', or any design reference involving web/desktop screens. Returns inline screenshots.
Search Ios Screens
Use this tool whenever the user asks to see, find, show, or browse iOS app screens — splash screens, onboarding, login, home, paywall, checkout, settings, etc. from real iOS apps. Also use for 'show me X app's splash screen', 'find onboarding flows', or any design reference involving mobile/iOS UI. Always use screen_type param when the user names a specific screen type (splash, login, onboarding, etc.). Returns full inline screenshots.
List Collections
List the authenticated user's BuildLike collections. Returns collection names, IDs, and item counts.
Create Collection
Create a new collection for the authenticated user. Use this when the user says 'create a collection', 'make a new collection called X', or wants to save screens into a named group. After creating, you can immediately call add_to_collection with any section id from recent search results.
Add To Collection
Add a screen or section to one of the user's collections. Use this when the user says 'add it to my collection', 'save this to X collection', or 'put it in my [name] collection'. The section_id comes from the id field in any previous search_ios_screens or search_web_sections result. If you don't know the collection_id, call list_collections first to find it by name.
List Favorites
List the authenticated user's favorited screens and sections. Use when the user asks 'show my favorites', 'what have I saved?', or 'list my favorited screens'.
Add Favorite
Add a screen or section to the authenticated user's favorites. Use this when the user says 'favorite it', 'save it', 'add to favorites', or 'I like this one — save it'. The item_id comes from the id field in any previous search_ios_screens or search_web_sections result. Always use item_type 'section' for screens found via search.
Remove Favorite
Remove a screen or section from the authenticated user's favorites. Use when the user says 'unfavorite it', 'remove from favorites', or 'unsave this'. The item_id comes from the id field in search results or list_favorites.
List Notes
List the authenticated user's notes, optionally filtered by section.
Create Note
Create a note for the authenticated user, optionally attached to a section.
Update Note
Update the content of an existing note owned by the authenticated user.
Delete Note
Delete a note owned by the authenticated user.
List Components
List items from the authenticated user's personal component library — components extracted from screens.
Get Screen
Fetch a single section or screen by ID and return it as an inline image so the AI can visually analyze the design. Use the id and image_url from search results. Pairs with search_web_sections and search_ios_screens.
Get Design Tokens
Extract a structured design token set from a company's BuildLike brand data — color roles, typography families, and spacing cadence. Optionally export in W3C Design Tokens format for use with Figma Tokens Studio or Style Dictionary. Use this to generate a design system foundation from real product data.
Compare Design Tokens
Compare design token sets from two companies side by side. Returns color role mappings, typography families, and spacing cadences for both companies with a diff summary highlighting key differences. Use this to identify design system divergence or find inspiration across brands.
Extract Colors
Extract and categorize a color palette from a specific screen image or from a company's brand data. Returns each color with its hex value, RGB, HSL, and an inferred role (primary, background, accent, etc.). Use with image_url to analyze a specific screen's palette, or with slug to get the full brand palette with roles assigned.
Compare Screens
Compare two screens side by side — their brand colors, fonts, tone, section types, and tags. Use the id and image_url from search results for each screen. Identifies overlaps and differences between the two designs without making an AI call (pure structured metadata diff).
Export Design Spec
Generate a developer-ready design spec for a company — color palette with CSS custom properties, typography families, spacing scale, and brand voice. Ideal for handing off design context to an engineer or seeding a new project's design system. Optionally attach a reference screen.
Find Similar Screens
Find screens similar to a given screen. Pass just the id and platform from any search result — the tool automatically fetches the screen's metadata (type, UI patterns, tags, visual cues, components) and uses it to find the closest matches across the library. Use exclude_company to discover how other brands solve the same design problem.
Brand Audit
Audit a company's brand completeness on BuildLike — checks color palette, typography, brand voice, spacing, and screen coverage across iOS and web. Returns a score (0–100), letter grade, and per-check pass/warn/fail results. Use this to identify gaps before generating a design spec or starting a new project.
