It seems like Figma is a bit square?

😂 I saw its paid promotion.

When Figma Make was launched, I asked friends for feedback.

It was useful, but quite satisfactory.

Nowadays, the AI-based routine of traditional old-fashioned software is to add an AI box to enhance the generation experience.

This is indeed an enhancement of the experience for users who originally use them.

However, my idea is that since you have introduced AI, the most important thing to do is to lower the threshold for use and use a simpler and more direct way to reflect the original core capabilities.

These old-fashioned software have the foundation They are all good and have their own barriers and core values, but the AI ​​implementation is really bad.

There are no truly experienced AI products that upgrade core optimization from an AI First perspective.

To exaggerate, when you pee every day, you have to think about whether your posture is AI enough, haha.

Why did you post this paragraph?

Because after Gemini 3 came out yesterday, you can do what I said.

Let’s talk about generative UI and Prompt to Design to UI to product another day.

In the past, this was a responsible and highly professional matter similar to an industrial system.

Now, it can be a combo, and it's done in a blink of an eye.
