Somewhere in Spain there are paving tiles you can't lay wrong. Rotate it any direction and the paths never dead-end. I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I rebuilt it with Claude. Turn any tile and the flow must go on. 👇 #truchet outriderindustries.com/flowt…

Fable bodied

In Claude we trust.

from apps to material software used to be something you opened an app was a room with walls: calendar here, notes there, music there, work there. each one had its own logic, buttons, its own little kingdom. the user moved between kingdoms, carrying context in their head but ai starts to break the walls software becomes less like a destination and more like material. something you shape, combine, stretch, ask, remix, and leave behind as traces. a document can become an app. a conversation can become a workflow. a song can become a memory. a task can become an agent. the boundary between using and making gets blurry the old model was: choose the right tool for each task the new model is: express the shape of the thing you want, then refine it with the system you built this changes the role of the interface. ui is no longer only fixed views for fixed functions. it becomes a surface where intent turns into structure. the best interfaces will feel less like menus and more like clay – responsive, persistent, inspectable, and alive apps won’t disappear. rooms are still useful. but the deeper shift is that software stops being a set of sealed containers and becomes a medium people can think through like paper, but executable like language, but spatial like memory, but programmable software stops being something only programmers make it becomes material anyone can shape

Everyone's watching Claude Design. Quieter move: Google just shipped A2UI v0.9 - an open standard for agent-rendered UI. Building on what stage managers know: You can't rebuild the set from scratch every night. Why this matters for designers and how to plan for it: uxdesign.cc/ai-improv-34a48b… #GenerativeUI #A2UI #AIDesign

Two threats to @Figma this month: • @Claude Design: model company just ships its own canvas tool. • @Noon ($44M seed, Soleio-led): design veterans rebuilding everything from first principles... a dual-canvas native to agents live production code. 🦀 Pincered by Anthropic’s raw scale & speed… and Noon’s founder-level taste code-native architecture.

Leak Monday. Stock tumble and board resignation Tuesday. Ship Thursday. Claude Design just ran a 4-day launch cycle. @Figma runs quarters. The threat to design-tool incumbents isn't just the model. It's that model companies operate at a release cadence the incumbents are structurally forbidden from matching. And startups like @noondesign? Even faster.

I was thrilled to join @bryanzmijewski's #GlaringlyObvious podcast re: Designing with AI’s Uncertainty. Watch to learn how AI creates a new, dynamic "Services" layer, challenging us to build resilience into ever-changing systems. glare.helio.app/interviews/s… #AI #productdesign
