Figma MCP: How AI-generated UI finally becomes usable AI can generate UI screens in seconds. But most of it is not production ready. I explored this approach in practice while working on it. 1️⃣ The problem. If you’ve tried generating UI with AI tools, you’ve probably seen this: ▪️Visually appealing layouts ▪️Completely inconsistent with your design system ▪️Components you can’t actually use You end up rebuilding everything manually. 2️⃣ What is MCP (Model Context Protocol). MCP is a way to connect AI directly to your design environment (like Figma), giving it access to: ▪️Components ▪️Styles and tokens ▪️Layout structure Instead of guessing, AI works with your real system. In the full article you will know - How it works - What changes in practice - When to use MCP and when it won’t help much 🔗 Read the full article by Sergei How are you using AI in your design workflow today? Have you tried integrating it with your design system? Let’s discuss 👇

🧠 Does more features mean more sales? Not always. On April 7, join our meetup with Kirill Khudoeshko, Marketing Manager at Maverick Frame. In the SaaS world, there’s a common belief: the more features are there in a product, the better. But cognitive psychology suggests the opposite. Sometimes too many features give users issues with making a decision and ultimately lower conversion rates. 📌 At the meetup, we’ll talk about: – The psychology of choice and how users make decisions; – How too many features affect conversion rates; – The “Less Is More” principle in product strategy; – Practical ways to analyze your product’s functionality and eliminate redundant features. 🎟️ Register here Meetup details: ⏰ Time: 19:00 (Minsk time, GMT+3)/ 18:00 (CEST) 🕒 Duration: 1.5 hours 🗣️ Language: Russian 📍 Offline: Andersen’s office in Minsk 💻 Online: The link to the stream will be sent to your email specified in the registration form See you there 👋 Become a speaker

Design Across Domains: why “universal design” is harder than it seems At first, design feels universal - same tools, same patterns. But in reality, everything depends on context. Good UX/UI is not just about visuals. It depends on: - domain - users and their expectations - target audience - business goals That’s why research matters so much. Without it, even a beautiful interface won’t work. And yes - we’ve all heard: “make it cleaner” / “make it more tasty” 🙂 Designers usually split into two types: - ignore it - or turn vague ideas into real solutions 👉 Biggest insight: The hardest part is not UI. It’s user flows. Good read on this: 🔗 https://www.nngroup.com/articles/user-journeys-vs-user-flows/ Especially early in your career, when you try to perfect everything and every task feels urgent. 💡Design is not universal. It’s adaptive, contextual - and sometimes messy. Post by Palina

AI-Native Prototyping 💻 Everyone is talking about AI-native workflows, AI replacing designers, and the future of product design. But instead of getting lost in all that noise, I think it makes more sense to ask a simpler question: What is AI-native prototyping actually changing in our workflow? In product design, we are clearly seeing the rise of a new type of work: AI-native prototyping. In simple terms, AI-native prototyping is a process where AI creates the first working layer of an interface, and the designer guides it, reviews it, and turns it into a real product experience. The workflow often looks something like this: → idea / flow → AI generates initial screens, logic, states, and sometimes even content → the designer edits, refines, and develops the result further. To me, that is the real shift. AI is not removing design. It is changing the entry point into the design process. 🔗 Read the full article by Ekaterina #AI #Prototyping
