DIVE vs Agentation

Both tools wire visual edits into AI coding agents, DIVE adds an open-source design surface, three MCP connection modes, and use-case-specific workflows.

Agentation centres the agent integration; DIVE centres the design tool that happens to integrate with agents. Different starting points; overlapping outcomes.

Pick DIVE when

You want MIT open source.
You need a richer visual control set (motion, effects, contrast checker).
