What I've Learned from Agentic Design
The article reflects on the author's experiences with AI-driven design over the past six months. It discusses the evolution of design workflows and the integration of tools like Figma and Copilot. While there are significant benefits to using AI in design, there are also challenges related to accuracy and collaboration.
- ▪The author has shifted to using AI tools like Copilot and TypeWhisper in their design process.
- ▪AI has improved efficiency in generating designs but struggles with final polish and documentation accuracy.
- ▪There are concerns about over-reliance on AI leading to poor design practices and lack of coordination among team members.

What I’ve Learned From Agentic Design Posted on May 2026 • Category: AI, Design After 6 months of investing heavily into AI-driven design (e.g. Agentic Design), I thought this article would serve as a help for others and benchmark for myself for end of year reflection. What It Looks Like Right Now My previous workflow was coordinating with both Project Managers (PM), Stakeholders, Users, other Designers and Devs; taking those requirements into the medium that presented the solution best for sharing execution; and refining with teams until live. Typically that was a combination of Figma for static documented assets and / or an HTML prototype or exploration shared out via Codepen, but sometimes that was also just tweaking a proposal from a PM.
