# Introduction

> Lace reads your screen, grounds AI reasoning in your live product, and lets you resolve UI decisions that coding agents ship through MCP.

## What Lace does

* **Reads your screen.** Lace uses on-device computer vision to parse every element of your product's interface in real time.
* **Grounds reasoning in your product.** Chat with Lace AI while looking at your live product. Every response is grounded in the visual context of what's actually in front of you.
* **Reads your documents.** Attach PDF, CSV, Markdown, Word, or plain text files to any chat. Lace cites specific sections inline so you can trace every claim back to the source.
* **Builds a system of record.** The [interaction graph](https://docs.inlace.co/concepts/interaction-graph) compounds across sessions. Lace gets smarter about your product, your goals, and your team's decisions over time.
* **Connects to your tools.** Resolved decisions are exposed as structured context through [MCP](https://docs.inlace.co/reference/mcp). Your coding agent ships changes with full UI/UX context.
