with Stephen Haney
You'll hear what big-company designers do with Claude Code and Cursor, and what still goes wrong.
More info
- Stephen Haney founded Paper, a new design tool. He talks with Ridd, host of Dive Club, a show for designers.
- In recent months he's asked designers at Atlassian, Shopify, Notion and others how they really use AI.
- People on Twitter say design tools are dead. Stephen says what companies do doesn't necessarily match that.
- Companies pretty much all do the same thing, he finds. They make clickable AI prototypes from app copies.
- Figma is the main design tool today. Claude Code and Cursor are AI tools that write code.
- He says Paper is maybe a little biased toward craft, and this research is shaping its product plans.
