What can us, engineers else learn from designers and design engineers? Turns out there’s lots, based on talking with one of the best design engineers in the industry, @Mappletons. Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 03:24 From anthropology to tech 10:18 What does a designer do? 18:23 How M…↗

I sat down with AI leaders from @figma, @box, @cognition, @tryramp, BAM, and the one and only @clairevo to hear how they’re using Astra. Optimizing GPU kernels, revamping workflows with computer use, designing many consistent screens… Amazed by what they’d done in just days! 🌌↗

Designing Grok Bot with Grok Bot At SpaceXAI, we’re building agents that can take an idea and begin making it real. For designers, that changes what’s worth exploring. Design has always been a process of giving form to an idea: making something, reacting to it, and changing it…↗

Today, we're open sourcing the first computer-use dataset for design. We captured 200+ hours and 3400+ trajectories of real design work in Figma, recording step by step how designers execute complex, long-horizon tasks. FigmaTrace dataset, paper, and blog below :) @PatronusAI↗

How I built the new Monologue website in (less than) seven days One month ago, we decided it was finally time to rebuild the Monologue website. We had reached a stage where we wanted to put more effort into SEO, AEO, content, and growth. But before doing any of that, the websit…↗

Everything you saw today: code, motion, shaders, your own tools... It all lives together in the canvas. For the first time, in one place. Today we announced ways to: → explore with code → generate with Weave → build plugins and shaders with the Figma agent → animate with Figma M…↗

Imagine a world where you could copy/paste websites into editable Figma layers (jk you don’t have to imagine you can do this now with our Chrome extension)↗

wdym of course there’s an agent right on the design canvas that’s fluent in Figma and native to the way your team works↗

the 5 stages of ai grief since Claude Design launched, designers are grappling with the same existential recoil as when engineers first saw ai could code. the process maps to the stages of grief. 1. denial. "but design is more than just producing designs." engineers said the s…↗

Now you can use AI agents to design directly on the Figma canvas, with our new use_figma MCP tool and skills to teach them. Open beta starts today.↗

Turn design into code with Claude Code + @figma. Through MCP, Claude sees your mockup at the data level—component hierarchies, design tokens, auto-layout rules—and translates it into production-ready code.↗

Two important trends: 1. BYOT — people who use Notion (for free) take Notion to work (employer pays) 2. TYOW — people who use Figma (and sadly got laid off) need to take their work with them (update portfolio, freelance, find new role) Software companies need to build for both↗
