🤿 agentic design systems

what trends this Figma designer advocate is seeing

Remember when Luis Ouriach joined the podcast a couple of years ago to talk about design systems and Figma variables?

It feels like the world of design systems has been flipped upside down since then.

One of the clearest trends I’ve noticed in the last ~6 months of episodes is that leaders are waking up to the fact that design systems are much more important in an AI world.

So I wanted to take advantage of Luis’s role as a designer advocate at Figma because he's constantly helping teams navigate the rapidly changing landscape of design systems.

Some highlights from our convo:

  • How design systems are changing with AI

  • Luis’s ideas around agentic design systems

  • Pitfalls to avoid when adopting AI with your team

  • What trends we can ignore vs. what is really important

  • Luis’s journey as a builder and his career plan moving forward

  • What Figma's new integration with Claude and Codex unlocks

  • + a lot more

🤝 WITH LOVABLE

An even smarter version of Lovable just released…

It’s 71% better at solving complex tasks which means it can do more work, more autonomously.

There’s more intelligent planning and prompt queueing so you can stack requests while Lovable works.

And my favorite part: automated testing.

Lovable now tests your apps like a real user. It opens its own browser, navigates flows, investigates edge case and catches bugs for you. And when it finds problems it fixes them on the spot.

I genuinely believe Lovable is the easiest way to build software. Click the link to try the new release 👇
