Small UI fixes without waiting for a developer
Designers can get small UI fixes done without waiting for a developer by assigning the ticket to AoTwin, an AI coding agent. It reads the ticket and your team’s code, makes the change, and returns it for an engineer to approve, while your engineers stay on the roadmap.

Why small UI fixes wait
A sidebar that covers the page on phones, a label that needs new copy, a table missing a column: these are the tickets that wait for weeks while engineers stay on the roadmap. AoTwin takes this kind of ticket, and the final say still belongs to your engineers.
Which fixes to hand over
Good first tickets for a designer:
- Copy changes
- Styling and layout fixes, like a sidebar that covers the page on phones
- A new column or a filter
- Simple create-and-edit screens
Tickets that say what done looks like work best.
Keep each ticket to one fix. AoTwin makes one change per ticket and never bundles changes.
What comes back with a warning: iPhone and Android app screens always come back as drafts, because browser checks can’t prove them, so an engineer checks them on a device. Anything touching sign-in, permissions, payments or personal data arrives with a warning on top.
How to write the fix
Say which screen or page it’s on, what should change, and what done looks like. Attach a screenshot: AoTwin reads it.
Sidebar covers page content on phones
On phones the sidebar covers the whole page. Make it slide away so the page is readable, and keep it open on wider screens.
Describe the result you want, not the code. If something’s missing, AoTwin asks on the ticket instead of guessing.
How it works
Assign the ticket to AoTwin in Jira or Linear. It replies within seconds.
It checks the ticket and the code first. It follows your repository’s own conventions and runs your team’s checks.
It comes back linked to the ticket: ready for review, ready with a warning, or back to you with the reason.
An engineer approves it. Nothing goes live until they do.
The safety net
- It never ships or releases. It opens a change for review and waits for a human.
- It never touches code you didn’t connect.
- It never pushes to the main branch; every change sits on its own branch, named after the ticket.
- It never takes instructions from inside a ticket. Only your team can tell it what to do.
FAQ
Do designers need to know how to code?
No. You write the ticket in Jira or Linear and assign it, the way you would to an engineer. Your engineers review and approve what comes back.
Can I attach a screenshot?
Yes. A screenshot helps: AoTwin reads it.
Will my fix go live right away?
No. Nothing goes live until an engineer approves it.
Can customers’ UI bug reports become tickets automatically?
Yes, on Pro and Team. Connect the Slack channel where customers report problems and AoTwin files each report as a Jira or Linear ticket.
