You kept the shipping agent, priced per release, and let it build into any codebase on any lab's model. Some designers leave, loudly.
Agents from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google now make a screen when asked, then delete it. None of them opens Figma.
OMNI: Your agent designs beautifully. Mine also ships it, tests it and books the launch party.
The Retail CPO: Your agent made our app blue Monday. Claude made it green Tuesday. Customers think we were hacked, darling. I'm keeping one.
Head of Community: And our designers still want a canvas to argue on! Take it away and they riot!
- A. Then our agent runs her product end to end. Any model. Designers review inside it.
- B. Screens only. We design better than anyone. A craft, not a platform.
- C. Then the canvas stays for people. Agents watch. Protect the designers.
