#020: Introduction to Agentic AI for Designers
Agentic AI is everywhere. First: breathe! It's not like every team is running a smooth AI pipeline with agents. Quite the opposite, actually. It's still a very messy process, but it is happening. In this week's edition, I'll give you a quick intro to what agentic AI is and why it changes the way we work as designers, with or without Figma, as well as an industry overview: who does what, what works, and who is stuck, running you through the amazing report by Zeroheight.

How do companies really work with AI in Design?
I highly recommend the "State of AI in Design Systems" report by zeroheight. It makes you see it's not the social media magic at all. There's genuinely good stuff happening, but also a lot of struggle and the same problems showing up over and over again.
Here's my quick summary, going through it from a purely designer's perspective. May it calm your day, you're not behind, and yes, you do need to clean up that file now, or the agent can't read it. 💛
It's the wild, wild west out there, and all of this is just happening right now. The report shows you what you actually need to know, what to look out for, and what's just the normal frustration of this stage we're all in.
It's also beautifully made.

In-house team trainings on Agentic AI for Designers
For a while now, the same question keeps coming up after my talks and workshops: "Can you bring this to our team?" So I am making it official. I now offer in-house team training.
An honest look at what is real, what is not, and how your team can actually work with AI. And everyone leaves having built a working agent themselves, not just watched a demo.
Three ways to do it (in-house or remote):
Built the way I do everything: hands-on, grounded in craft, and calm about the noise. If your team is feeling the AI shift and wants a clear way in, let's talk. Details here: moonlearning.io/teams
PS: And if you point me toward a company that goes on to book a training, you'll receive 10% commission as a thank-you.
