David is the Head of AI Product at Figma and gave me an exclusive demo of Figma Make, Figma’s new AI prototyping tool. We had a great chat about how Make sta... Figma's AI Prototyping Tool is Here and...It's a MUST TRY | David Kossnick

For the inside story on how Figma built Make (its prototyping tool), check out my recent
episode with @DKossnick, Figma's Head of AI:

The most bullish signal for Figma is that Dylan (Figma's CEO) was still responding to individual user feedback during IPO day.

Talent density beats more headcount any day.

Being part of a small team of talented people who share the same values and can take each other to the next level is what makes work fun.

No AI prototyping tool as far as I know has figured out how to create prototypes that consistently match a company's design system.

There are companies that have figured this out internally but ideally this should be super simple to do directly via the tool.

What is agentic coding and how is it different from vibe coding?

From Kieran (founder of Cora): "It's like I'm a manager and I have like a team of people that are very capable."

📌 Watch exactly how Kieran uses Claude Code and AI agents to build in our tutorial:

Thanks to AI, I’m feeling more productive than ever coding as a PM.

But for some reason, engineers won’t accept the 3,000 line PR that Claude and I vibe coded.

Anyone know why?

I think most people think better on a walk outside instead of staring at a computer screen at their desk.

If you're not going on walks (and using AI voice dictation) to think you're missing out.

One of my pet peeves is getting tagged in a 30+ message Slack thread with no context.

So I built an AI workflow that lets you react with an emoji (👀) to any thread and get a summary via DM in a few seconds.

Claude Code is the first AI tool that feels like managing a dev team vs. prompting a bot.

I got Kieran (founder) to show me exactly how he runs 3 AI agents in parallel to build an app.

Normal people go into a conference room to talk to their coworkers, I go into a conference room to dictate context to AI. 🙂

Let's face it: Most of us are already using AI as a thought partner in our jobs:

So why not make this whole process transparent during the interview process as well?

If anything, I want evidence that you know how to use AI to do your job better than without it.

I see many interviewers post threads saying that candidates are using AI behind the scenes.

Radical take:

What if interviews required candidates to share their screen and show how they're using AI?

Fascinating inside look at OpenAI’s shipping culture:

- Bottoms up
- Bias for action rewarded over optics
- Researchers seem like the center

Written by an engineer who worked on Codex. A small team shipped that product in just 7 weeks (!).

Ok, if you're tired of companies calling every product an "AI agent" like I am, then you'll love my beginner-friendly deep dive on AI workflows vs agents.

I cover the difference in simple terms and share practical examples of each.

Note: This doesn't replace seeing your doctor at all, but I think talking to AI first helps you ask better questions during your visit.

Many similar stories in this Reddit post: www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/c...

ChatGPT helped someone figure out a 10+ year medical problem.

I think everyone should set up an AI project with their health info to ask health-related questions.

The more context you provide it the better, but starting with just a few bullet points still helps.

A key lesson for building AI products:

AI can get you 80% there, but you should still give users manual control for the last mile.

Here's Cam (@Canva CPO) explaining why this hybrid approach made all the difference for their AI product.

Great deck from Coatue: drive.google.com/file/d/1Srl...

The FAANG company moving the fastest on AI is the one where AI is the biggest threat to its core business.

Imagine that.

Cameron Adams co-founded Canva where people are creating 1B+ designs monthly.

Now he's betting that:

- AI will blur PM and design boundaries
- Prototypes will largely eliminate PRDs

Plus hear Cam talk about Canva's famous rubber ducky.

Me: "Hey, do you think we should do this?"

AI: "You're absolutely right!"

Me: "But what about this?"

AI: "You're absolutely right!"

Me: "Huh? Which path do you recommend?"

AI: "You're absolutely right!"

If you want to become AI native, you have to be willing to try, tinker, and fail over and over.

The people who get stuck are those who are waiting for someone to teach it to them.

A clear superpower for PMs and builders is being able to see their product from a new user's POV at any given time.

So much UX and jargon that makes sense to a product team would be extremely confusing to new users.

I have to remind myself about this all the time.

ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini: The Best AI Model for Each Use Case in 2025 Comparing all 3 AI models for coding, writing, multimodal, and 6 other use cases

📌 Check out a recent post + video I did comparing the top AI models by use case: creatoreconomy.so/p/chatgpt-v...

The core tools IMO are:

1. AI assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini
2. AI meeting notes: Granola, Zoom AI
3. AI prototyping: Bolt, Replit, Figma Make, Lovable, v0, etc
4. AI coding: Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code
5. AI voice dictation: Superwhisper or some other voice tool (this is very underrated)

So I think there's still massive upside for employees who learn how to use the best AI tools to scale their impact without scaling headcount.

Gallup did a poll highlighting that AI adoption is growing rapidly amongst US workers.

But only 8% are using AI daily as of June, 2025. And I bet that most people are only using ChatGPT.

Colin Matthews has taught 1000+ students on how to prototype apps with AI. In this interview, we demoed the best AI coding tools for each use case - from pro... The Best AI Coding Tools to Use in 2025 | Colin Matthews

My prediction:

I think we'll get to a point where 90% of coding will be just asking agents to do work async and reviewing the PRs. The last 10% will be vibe coding liveor making manual tweaks.

3. Claude Code has alot of hype with early adopters. It's a CLI that's more agentic than many existing AI coding tools. And today, Gemini launched a competitor that's free.
