Quey vs Agentation
Agentation is an overlay widget embedded in your app for leaving pixel-precise feedback notes that an agent can read and act on. Quey takes a more direct path: select the element, edit the actual style live in the browser if you want to, and hand the agent a structured capture β as a browser extension, with nothing added to your app.

When to use each
FAQ
Quey's Agent panel lets you write an instruction alongside the capture and stream the agent's response in the toolbar, but its core workflow is capture-then-handoff rather than an ongoing annotation thread.
No. Quey runs as a Chrome extension with nothing added to your app. The optional local MCP bridge runs as a separate CLI process in your project directory, not as an in-app widget.
Not currently. Quey captures whatever is rendered at the moment you select an element; it doesn't have a dedicated animation-pausing tool.

Figma is where teams design UI before it's built. Quey is for after it's built β selecting the real, rendered element in your live app and handing an agent exactly what changed and where. They solve different problems and most teams that use Quey still design in Figma first.
Framer is a website builder β you design, publish, and host inside Framer's platform. Quey is a browser extension that works on any site, including apps that live entirely in your own repo, and its job ends the moment your coding agent has the context it needs to make the edit.
React Grab and Quey solve a similar problem β turning a clicked UI element into context a coding agent can act on. The main difference is where they run: React Grab is installed as a dependency inside your React app, while Quey is a Chrome extension that works on any page without touching your codebase, plus adds visual style editing on top of capture.
Capture, edit, hand off
