About

Xpensiv is the Vertical Foundation Model (VFM) for Design, the Anti AI-Slop Model. It is API and MCP first: a developer's AI agent calls Xpensiv on an app it built to ask, design first, what to change. It is for teams shipping with AI builders who want the result to stop reading as AI default. Install the MCP server with npx -y xpensiv-mcp (npm package xpensiv-mcp, MIT licence). Website: https://xpensiv.si

Key Features

Loads a public page in a real browser at desktop and 390px phone width
Flags text that is too faint to read and reports the measured contrast ratio
Catches sideways scrolling and overflowing layouts on phone screens
Attaches a screenshot to every finding so you can see where the problem is
Writes findings as instructions you can paste into Cursor or Lovable
Runs checks from Claude Code or Cursor through its MCP server

Use Cases

Checking an AI-built prototype for mobile layout breaks before showing it to investors or users
Reviewing vague button labels and low-contrast text in a vibe-coded app before it goes live
Turning visual problems into instructions to paste back into Cursor or Lovable for another pass

FAQ

What is Xpensiv?

Xpensiv checks the app your AI tool built before you show it to anyone. We load it in a real browser at desktop and phone width and send you a list of what looks broken, each item with a screenshot.

Is it another app builder?

No. We never touch your code. You get the list, and you or your AI tool make the changes.

What does it look at?

Text you can’t read, pages that scroll sideways on a phone, buttons with vague labels, broken spacing, missing alt text and slow loads.

How do I start?

Get an API key, then run a check from your AI tool. The console shows the key, the check and the usage.
