Figma might be about to become the fax machine of your tabs.
No designer? No problem: Claude Design lets anyone build prototypes, decks, and marketing assets just by describing what they need.
Anthropic’s new visual collaboration tool refines output through comments and direct edits, with your team’s brand system integrated from the start.
The use cases are genuinely useful:
- Landing pages, social assets, and campaign visuals
- Pitch decks exported directly to PPTX or Canva
- Interactive prototypes, no dev queue required
It also connects directly to Claude Code, shrinking the gap between design and build. If your team is perpetually waiting on a designer, this one’s worth a look.
Meanwhile, ChatGPT’s ad platform is barely holding together: Six-figure minimums, sky-high CPMs, and near-zero transparency. Cosy black box you’ve got there, OpenAI.
Sponsored retailers are already ranking higher in recommendations. Of course, this injects doubts that it may end up corrupting the answers. Hmm…
Consumer trust is the whole product here. If ads erode it, the platform eats itself. If they don’t, it becomes the most valuable ad surface in a generation.
For now, big brands with a big budget might find early testing worthwhile. Everyone else is better off watching how this plays out before committing.
And AI is everywhere. It just can’t read a clock: Stanford’s AI Index found generative AI hit 53% global adoption in three years, outpacing both PCs and the internet at the same stage.
Investment hit $581B in 2025, up 130% year-over-year. But the same models crushing PhD-level science questions still misread analog clocks half the time.
Google’s AIOs and AI Mode recommend different URLs for the same query 87% of the time. Two products, one company, not that much consensus.
Make of that what you will.
