For AI Agents
Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Installs with a ReUI Pro or Ultimate license.
Best for: Capabilities printed on the emerald card itself with no tick column, opposite a bare list of manual steps that stacks below it
When to use
- A versus section on a landing page that sets your product against the old manual way
- Before and after, with and without or why us sections on alternative and competitor pages
- An old way and new way contrast told as 2 numbered step tracks or as one row per capability
When not to use
- A plain grid of feature tiles with no manual path to weigh against: use the Feature Highlights block
- A grid of small feature tiles on their own, with no rival path to weigh against: use the Card blocks
- A numbered walkthrough of your own product steps, with no old way beside it: use the How It Works blocks
- Rival store products lined up on price, star rating and specs for a shopper: use the Comparison blocks
