I swear, Duolingo has the best app icons in the industry.

And they’ve got balls to do it.

"It's like a burrito that took a minute and a half to microwave. I am happy with it, because I am in a rush and I am thrilled it’s ready so fast. But is it actually good? Heck no. This same phenomenon is what leads to a ton of slop. It’s easy to get enamored by a decent one shot and overlook the flaws.
A good practice is to ask yourself, would I be happy with this if it took me a week to make this? If the answer is no, it’s probably worth some further prompting and prodding to make it something you’re truly proud of."

Our 2026 Design in AI Report is now live!

This report is the culmination of thousands of people hours and many late nights to create what we believe is the most comprehensive, well-researched report capturing and synthesizing the state of Design + AI today.

While we used AI in many areas, a report like this still required deep thinking, grit, and humans coming together to do what they do best.

The final report spans nearly 20k words covering the survey results of over 900 people paired with dozens of qualitative interviews.

Over the coming months we will also release 7 beautiful case studies showing how top design teams are working on the ground featuring designers at @AnthropicAI, @framer, @linear, @NotionHQ, @Shopify, @SierraPlatform, and @stripe.

This work is a true labor of love to help guide a design community we hold so dear.

Link in the comments and please let us know what you think. Your feedback helps us shape how we will evolve this work over the coming years...

Wouldn't it be great if:
you didn't have to manually rename variables for consistency YES
swap the same component across many different screens YES
repeat a padding change across an entire flow YES
or populate a large number of frames with realistic content? YES

Thank you @figma

[Figma @figma]

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

One line, one word. ✏️��� A simple #p5js sketch where you draw a line and Gemini tries to describe it in a single word. I find it really fun to have the model write on the canvas with me (wherever drawing finishes). Uses Gemini 1.5 Flash API. Try it + fork/remix my sketch here: https://t.co/Ks5qsmYNH6

no claude design in 🇯🇵 so I am experimenting on Google Flow Tools and made this prototype with godlike rays shining through each text cut out

@nocturnaldotxyz such a mood

[undergrounderground ✦ ARC @undergroundergr]

Tried out Google Flow, the AI creative studio by @Google If you were already subscribed to the storage plans (which were previously named Basic, Standard, Premium etc), you would now have some Google AI credits to play with since the storage plans have been renamed to Google AI Plus, AI Pro Plan.

On Google Flow, similar to Claude, you can:
✅make videos
✅create characters
✅build prototypes
✅create KOL content videos with voice, script
✅automate the google flow agent to create multiple of these end-to-end KOL content videos and research best ways to write the scripts for all the videos

So why are people using and subscribing to multiple ai studios to do that automated workflow? I'm still figuring that out 👁️👁️

Google just made it official.

They added llms.txt as a Lighthouse audit. That means Google is now checking whether your website has a file that helps AI agents understand what your business does.

Think of it like robots.txt was for search crawlers. llms.txt is the same thing for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and every AI tool scraping the web for answers.

Here's what it is:
→ A plain text file at https://t.co/PmsrDIQGI1
→ It summarizes your business, products, and key pages in a format AI can read
→ It helps LLMs cite you accurately instead of guessing

I just created one for @HireAutoM8. Here's what it looks like so you can model yours from it: https://t.co/EosGM5jaZO

If your business isn't showing up in AI answers, this is step one.

Founders: go create yours today. This is the new robots.txt.
