Weāve been heads-down for a long time, working on an all-new, completely redesigned Framer. Iām very proud of how it turned out. Framer 3.0 is coming soon.

AI has massively changed what companies expect from designers.
But many organizations haven't updated the systems around the role to match those new expectations.
The teams adapting best aren't just adopting new tools or workflows - they're redefining how design work is measured, rewarded, and structured.

Time to make creating and filing patents delightful and accessible to anyone. If you or your team is inventing the future, make sure youāre protecting your work with Fearn! Congrats Han, Angela and team!

Patent systems are first-to-file. It's produced a quiet two-tier system: well-funded companies file in 48 hours. Everyone else waits weeks.
Today we're announcing @fearn_ai's $5.5M seed to end that gap. š§µ

WE'RE HIRING AT @interfere_ !
There's many open roles - the space is inevitable, and the opportunity is there for the taking. If you're opinionated, never sacrifice form or function, and feel like your ability has more to offer than the agent granted to you allows - we should chat.

Good morning!
The Pen Tool is live in Paper
Draw shapes, generate SVGs, or vectorize images, and edit the points and paths.
Paper uses real SVGs so exports are 1:1, no surprises.
The new SVG workflow: create ā refine ā ship.
Try it out! And show us what you draw.

Bitrig now lets you select to edit elements in the App Preview.
Spend less time describing what's on the screen. Just point directly at the parts of your interface you want to change.

āYou have to change an airline ticket. So much movement. A billion kilometers of hellhounds burning with the ferocity of nuclear Armageddon sit between you and completing that task with the airlineā - @craigmod
Well @FDavidsonT and the team behind Odessia has decided its time to give everyone access to the world's greatest travel agent and reduce that pain millions of times over.
Congrats Francis on today's launch!

Meet Odessia.
She plans and books entire trips in one conversation.
Apparently, she's the goddess of travel.

Meet Gusto Cofounder: An AI teammate that already knows your business and actually does the work.
Most AI just answers questions. This runs payroll, flags compliance deadlines, handles time-off requests, and works over text or Slack.
Because every founder deserves a cofounder.

As software becomes easier to produce, what happens to design?
We surveyed 900 designers across 40 countries and found that many designers are moving beyond interfaces and into systems - building internal tools, helping teammates create fully functional prototypes, and expanding the creative capacity of entire organizations.

Iāve just finished reading a new report on the state of AI in design by @designerfund. Top designers shared their best practices, discoveries, excitement, and fears about AI. Definitely worth your time.

A grounded report. Ben interviewed design practitioners who had more nuanced takes than the hype you often see around AI.
Takes on how AI helps design, where it doesnāt. Very much in the spirit of design: there isnāt a single right way.
I hope company leaders read this

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...

One of the biggest reasons I love being at @stripe is getting to learn from and work for leaders who get it.
Epic start to the @designerfund State of AI
