One thing I am wondering: How much logic (in the programming sense) is there in this product and how much of it is „just“ a lean wrapper around the LLM?

I thought polymet did a pretty good job of creating mobile app designs and component libraries when I tested it. Winder how this will compare

Will be taking this for a spin imminently. What seems to be very unique here vs other canvas tools are the generative UI controls.

If you’re confused about why everyone is shipping their own canvas tool - this is what I wrote when I reviewed Stitch from Google in my newsletter:

“every SOTA (State-of-the-Art) model can already do this. Give it a prompt, it'll spit out an HTML design. Ask for 10 responsive variations, you'll get them. Stitch is a Ul and context harness on top of Gemini, in the same way Claude Code is a harness on top of Claude's models. This means every Al lab will likely ship their own version, and they'll all interoperate because at the end of the day it's all HTML and markdown.”

More generally, this is a competition of where the product development work starts and lives. The business value will accrue to those who become a destination, not a plugin.

AI can now power a new sort of tool that supports the entire process (not just coding or just design). So there’s no reason for Anthropic or any other lab to give that up to another tool.

Did anyone see what happened to Figma's stock? Its crazy that just an announcement from Anthropic can move the market.

I tried and not impressed. Even latest and greatest LLMs still have very poor understanding of geometry and numbers.

ultimately if it’s so close to the finished product you may as well just do it in cursor rather than have an extra step.

The design problem to solve post-ai isn’t this it’s how the space for thinking fits into all this, getting to the end result slower so human ideation can play out. This is just optimized for the first generic output + tweaks.

Is there a way one can do DTP using LLMs? InDesign only integrates image generating, if I'm not mistaken. .

I think we will have maybe 5 to 10 years of all this crap, devaluing human made art and human made products, vibe coding everything. But eventually it will all fall apart. Long term only a minority will be happy seeing AI generated crap everywhere and most people will pay for quality human made goods.

Unfortunately it's going to be a tough few years until that happens, where it really does feel like the idiots are winning.

THE IDIOTS ARE WINNING

I just started using Claude and its amazing. I cant believe ive waited so long. Looking forward to designing
