It's Monday. Here's what changed in AI this week, and what it means for your design work:

Back in the studio this week after switching off in Ibiza. And honestly, I needed the reset - but I also let content slide while I was gone, so job one this week was getting the machine running again. Batch filming, scripting, back into a real rhythm.

The bigger news: I signed a partnership with Cursor. I've been heads-down building the content for it all week. It's tied to a new product release, so I can't say much yet, but it's the kind of thing I'd have wanted to see when I started learning how to use AI.

On the Klime side, we started rebuilding the whole website. We shifted our positioning recently, and the current site doesn't reflect where the studio actually is anymore.

The prompt-only era of AI design is ending, and Figma is the one ending it.

Last week Figma Make got two things it was badly missing: a real Properties Panel and Annotations. The Properties Panel brings the Figma Design controls you already know - spacing, typography, line height, letter spacing, opacity, z-index, border style - straight into Make, plus a DOM tree view and batch-editing across multiple instances. Annotations let you mark an area on the canvas and describe an interaction or animation for the agent to build, like a full-screen nav overlay when the menu button is clicked.

The smart part: your edits stage in the chat panel credit-free until you hit apply. So you can line up a whole batch of changes, review them, then commit once.

For a year the pitch for AI design tools was "just describe what you want." It sounded great and it was exhausting. Describing a 4px spacing change in a sentence is slower than dragging a handle, and you're never sure the model heard you right. This update quietly admits that. Direct manipulation is back, and the AI handles the part it's actually good at - writing the code underneath. That's the model I think wins: you click, it codes. It also uses far fewer tokens than prompting the same change, which matters now that everyone is watching their credit meter.

Start a fresh Make file (the Properties Panel only works on new Make designs for now). Build a rough layout from a prompt, then switch to Edit in the top-right and fix the details by hand instead of re-prompting. Save the annotations for the things you can't click - motion, hover states, logic.

If you use terminal coding agents but hate staring at a wall of text, this one's for you. Mirafold is a browser interface for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI with a generative UI layer on top. Instead of raw terminal output, your agent answers with live cards, charts, dashboards, task lists, and diffs you can actually read and pin.

It's open source, you bring your own key or run it fully local (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM), and your keys never touch the browser. You can even pair your phone or tablet with a QR code and pick up the same session anywhere, end-to-end encrypted.

Editing short-form is where most people lose hours. This week I ran raw footage through AI Producer by OpusClip and had a finished, captioned Reel in about five minutes. Here's the workflow.
