Yeah I found a Figma PM left a comment about Make/MCP integration but I wasn't clear about the capability of it, whether it will let you reference a design file using MCP and also lookup Code Connect and use your own React components

So @figma.com Figma Make AI can't access your Figma file directly OR use any Code Connect mapping?

I'm really disappointed the input in Figma Make is limited to text/image.

Seems bonkers we can't provide a direct link to a page/selection/node like we can in Figma MCP. Hope this is on the roadmap

Experimenting with Notebook LLM, pasted a JSON snippet of some #designtoken data and the generated source name surprised me:

"Economic Impact of COVID-19 on the US Economy"

Google AI must be a bit preoccupied with other conversations 🤷‍♂️

Series 2 of Systems of Harm… things are happening 👀

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, series 1 is still available to listen to on all the main podcasting platforms.

I talked to 6 brilliant guests about how design systems fit into wider systemic harm.

Faux news: Google Meet is rolling out "Emotion Recognition" overlays, only available for People Leaders at this stage

Fake screenshot of a video call using AI to highlight each face and labelling the registered emotion: happy, fake smile, neutral, silent rage, ughh pls stop.

I wrote about design system documentation. It may be one of, if not the most important thing a team can do–as long as the documentation is good.
