  1. Our readingAn agent should reach a solid bar on its own, so the designer works from what they like and don't like rather than correcting obvious poor visual design like an intern's.

    Their wordsI didn't want to keep telling it to fix stuff like you would tell like an intern. Let's hit the bar of solid and then I'm working from what I like and don't like, not just like this is an obvious poor visual design decision.

  3. Our readingA visual eval lets designers who are not in the code build complex tooling and autonomous runs they can still shape and control the way they are used to.

    Their wordsI'm just thinking differently of like yeah it's like an eval. It's like a visual eval that us not being in the code, we can make more complex tooling and flows like this and autonomous runs that we still get to manifest and tweak and control basically the same way that we're used to.

  5. Our readingGiving agents something they can touch, together with your spoken description of it, is a recurring theme in the AI design tooling being built now.

    Their wordsWe're continuously trying to describe and like put something into the agents hands quote unquote or or make it something they can touch so that the touch identifier of exactly this thing and you can see all the code and what it is that I'm talking about and my talking about it that combo is seems like a theme in a lot of the stuff we've been building.

  7. Our readingThe HTML shortcut takes care of much of the custom tooling designers used to build.

    Their wordsI mean one of the things was building a lot of custom tooling. The HTML shortcut like takes care of so much of that. Like you said the the show me the options and approved and I discuss like that whole area would have been a tool in your case was a tool for a minute uh that now we don't have to do.

  9. Our readingGoing wide cheaply with HTML, then making the real app once there is a sketch of it, is so much better.

    Their wordsand going wide now cheaply with HTML stuff and then getting into now let's make the real app because we actually kind of have a sketch of what the app will look like is is so much better.

  11. Our readingIf you are primarily designing something, it makes all the sense in the world to own the front end.

    Their wordsIf I am primarily designing something, like it makes all the sense in the world to me to own the front end. Of course, if I'm the one designing it, why wouldn't I own that? That it's insane. I want to play the songs that I write, you know?
