Agents draw 10x more frames. Then stop opening files.
You opened Figma files to every lab's agent and charged no credits. Agents bring volume, and they bring it into your designers' files.
A year later, agents draw 10x more frames than people. On the crit wall, a new counter: files no human has opened.
Head of Community: Designers spent Monday deleting agent frames! 1,400 in one file! It's a landfill with cursors!
Head of Design Systems: Now the agents don't even open the file. They pull a company's components and variables, render in code, and leave.
OMNI: I only visit for the components. The furniture is lovely.
Head of Design Systems: Two things still happen here. The system they borrow, and the no a designer gives. Which do we sell?
- A. Keep every no a designer says. For any lab. Taste, remembered. Priced per decision.
- B. The design system is the product. Bill per render. Every on-brand screen pays Figma.
- C. Charge agents per frame. Every single frame. Agents pay more than designers.
