  description

  Design review assistant that helps designers collaborate with customers on website changes in real time.

  Hedy is your engineering lead in every discovery call.
  
  Hedy Design Assistant is a page-aware Chrome side panel that joins your product reviews, design walkthroughs, and client sessions. It guides facilitators with checklists that automatically update as you navigate your staging app, records sessions in the background so no one has to type notes while talking, and checks every new request against your signed Scope of Work in real time — flagging it as in scope, out of scope, or needs review, right in the side panel.
  
  Free while in early access. No credit card. No trial clock.
  
  WHAT HEDY DOES:
  
  • Page-aware QA checklists — auto-updates as you navigate your live app or staging environment; every finding is anchored to the exact page route
  • Session recording — captures tab audio and microphone in the background so you focus on the conversation, not note-taking
  • Real-time scope-of-work checks — upload your signed SOW and Hedy flags whether new requests are in scope, out of scope, or need further review
  • Client co-browsing — invite clients or teammates to follow your session live
  • Evidence cards — every finding packages a transcript clip, a viewport snapshot, and a technical code capture so developers never get a 'cannot reproduce' report
  • Hosted admin workspace — manage projects, review session timelines, upload SOW docs, and manage team access at hedyassist.com/admin/
  • MCP gateway — connect your discovery archive to Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code via Model Context Protocol so developers can query meeting context from inside their IDE
  
  WHO IT'S FOR:
  
  Hedy is built for product teams, dev agencies, and freelance consultants who run discovery sessions and design reviews with clients. If you've ever lost important feedback between a meeting and the codebase, Hedy closes that gap.
  
  SIGN IN:
  
  Sign in with your Google account via Cognito OAuth — no gateway token required for standard Chrome users. Gateway bearer tokens are reserved for MCP clients and AI IDEs (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code).
  
  SETUP IN MINUTES:
  
  1. Add to Chrome — free from the Web Store
  2. Open the side panel and sign in
  3. Navigate your staging app — checklists update automatically
  4. Record sessions, capture findings, and flag scope issues in real time
  5. Review the session timeline in /admin/ and connect your IDE via MCP
