Taking a Bite Out of AI Coding Challenges
RANA was born from real frustration with AI-assisted development and a vision to make it better for everyone.
A Message from Ashley Kays
Creator of RANA
I created RANA after experiencing firsthand the trial and error of using AI agents to create products. AI coding tools are truly magical—they can generate entire features in minutes, help you explore new technologies, and accelerate development in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago.
But when they go off the rails, it can create incredible headaches and frustration. I've spent countless hours debugging AI-generated code that looked perfect but had subtle security vulnerabilities. I've watched projects accumulate technical debt because the AI kept generating similar-looking designs without any consistent design language or component library.
The biggest issues I kept running into were:
- Security concerns — AI doesn't always follow best practices for secure coding
- Design inconsistency — Every generated component looked slightly different
- No design system — There was no common library or design language being followed
- Unpredictable quality — Sometimes brilliant, sometimes a complete mess
RANA solves these problems by providing guardrails, design system enforcement, and security validation that work alongside your favorite AI coding tools. It doesn't replace them—it makes them better and more reliable.
Our mission is simple: make AI-assisted coding more efficient, more secure, and more consistent so you can focus on building great products.
The Problems We Solve
AI coding tools are powerful, but they come with challenges that RANA addresses head-on.
Security Vulnerabilities
AI coding tools can inadvertently introduce security risks that are easy to miss during rapid development.
Inconsistent Design
Without guardrails, AI generates similar-looking designs or inconsistent UI patterns across your application.
Going Off the Rails
When AI agents go wrong, debugging and fixing the mess can take longer than writing the code manually.
The Team
RANA is built by a dedicated team passionate about improving the AI development experience.
