Product updates

Nearform invests $150,000 in Lines

Nearform Physical AI Inc. is committing $150,000 to Lines, ADAM, and customer infrastructure during beta.

What the investment supports

• Native macOS development across Model, Design, Ship, Markdown, accounts, and administration.

• ADAM customer support, documentation guidance, product feedback, and design-agent research.

• Secure activation, update, and operator systems that preserve Lines’ local-first model.

A focused product bet

• Lines is built around machine-readable product meaning instead of disconnected screenshots.

• Semantic Nodes, Views, states, rules, and bindings create reusable implementation context.

• A small team can improve the whole workflow without turning Lines into a bloated platform bundle.

Building in public during beta

• Customer feedback reaches us through ADAM, Discord, account support, and email.

• Release notes document meaningful progress, experiments, and fixes.

• Pricing stays intentionally simple while purchasing and distribution mature.

Meet ADAM

ADAM is Nearform’s customer-service and design agent inside Lines.

• Answers product questions and links customers to the right documentation.

• Accepts feedback and product suggestions in the same conversation.

• Included with every plan—customers never need to supply an API key.

Reinforcement learning for interface design

• ADAM evaluates semantic product structure before proposing interface work.

• Scored outcomes and human review improve its recommendations over time.

• People remain in control of approvals, refinements, and what ships.

Bind designs and automate in minutes

• Bind visual objects to semantic Nodes so views stay connected to product meaning.

• Generate first-pass interfaces, missing states, and agent-ready context in minutes.

• Stop spending a year setting up variables before automation can produce useful work.

Designed for Apple Silicon

Lines now has a Mac-first foundation built for Apple Silicon.

• Canvas interaction, artboard movement, and sidebar resizing stay responsive.

• Local Markdown files open and save without waiting for a remote workspace.

• Visual tooling takes advantage of the hardware customers already use.

Local-first by default

• Product models, views, prompts, and files remain on the Mac unless explicitly shared.

• ADAM receives only messages and attachments intentionally sent through chat.

• Clear privacy boundaries support real professional product workflows.

Ready for broader distribution

• Apple Silicon is the first supported Mac target during beta.

• Signed and notarized distribution is being prepared outside the Mac App Store.

• Update notifications will appear inside Lines when a new build is ready.

A native Mac design experience

Lines is a focused native Mac app—not a browser-shaped workspace.

• Native SwiftUI keeps the product fast, coherent, and familiar.

• Local-first files stay on the Mac unless a customer explicitly shares them.

• Automatic saving and reliable undo keep people in the creative flow.

Bind designs and automate in minutes

Traditional design automation often begins with months of variables, component plumbing, and fragile setup.

Bind instead of rebuild

• Create semantic Nodes for actors, tasks, objects, states, permissions, and rules.

• Bind visual objects to those Nodes so a screen stays connected to its product logic.

• Reuse the model across views, roles, devices, and states without rebuilding the reasoning.

Automation with context

• ADAM recommends first-pass Views, missing states, bindings, and acceptance criteria.

• Reinforcement-learning signals score whether outcomes match the intended product structure.

• Human review keeps automation accountable and editable with familiar visual tools.

Minutes, not a year of setup

• Draw UX directly on the canvas or model the workflow first.

• Connect the important pieces and prepare structured Agent Pack context.

• Move from rough idea to organized interface work in minutes—not a year of variable setup.

Human-centered taskbar

• Selection, Node, Section, Sticky Note, drawing, pen, view, and ADAM tools stay within reach.

• Controls reveal what matters for the current job and get out of the way otherwise.

• File tabs make room for readable names and focused Markdown work.

Draw UX before you model

• Sketch directly on the canvas, move artboards, and organize the interface visually.

• Bind the important objects to semantic Nodes when the interaction is ready.

• Preserve states, rules, and product meaning while the design continues to evolve.
