From Figma to Claude Code and back | Gui Seiz & Alex Kern (Figma)
- Release time: 2026-03-11 20:03 Beijing time
- Abstract: - Most teams are still passing static design files back and forth, and most Figma files are already outdated by the time they reach the engineering stage.
- Gui Seiz (designer) and Alex Kern (engineer) from Figma demonstrate on-screen the exact workflow their team uses to bridge the gap with AI.
- They demonstrate how to use the Figma MCP to pull a running web application directly into Figma, edit it collaboratively, and then push it back to code.
- Replacing it is a fluid, bidirectional loop where design and code inform each other in real-time.
- Listen or watch on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. What you will learn: - How to use Figma’s MCP to pull production code directly into a Figma file - The workflow for using Claude Code to push design changes from Figma back to the codebase without manual CSS adjustments - How to export multiple code states (e.g., all five states of a registration flow) into Figma, so designers can work with what actually exists in production - Why AI is shifting design work from upstream planning to downstream craftsmanship, eliminating the rushed execution phase in the middle - How to create custom skills that automate pre-flight checks, lint fixes, and CI monitoring before pushing code to production - How to structure your codebase so that AI can more effectively write 90% of it for you: Optimizely — The AI agent orchestration platform for marketing and digital teams. In this episode, we will cover: (00:00) Introduction to Gui and Alex from Figma (02:56) How AI is changing Figma’s internal workflow (05:17) The breakdown of the linear design-to-code workflow (07:28) Demo: Pulling production code into Figma using MCP (10:49) Precise design operations and team collaboration with Figma (14:10) Demo: Pushing Figma designs back to code with Claude Code (16:06) How AI is changing the role of software engineers (18:43) The shift towards upstream planning and downstream craftsmanship (22:31) Demo: Exporting multiple code states back to Figma (25:23) Sync vs. Async

- Abstract: - Every week, I answer reader questions about building products, driving growth, and accelerating careers.
- As AI makes it trivial to build and launch products (and soon, even to come up with product ideas), the biggest challenge for product teams is quickly becoming distribution: getting people to pay attention to your product amidst the ever-increasing noise of launches.
- One of the most powerful tools for cutting through the noise is positioning.
- Strong, specific positioning grabs attention and helps people instantly understand why your product is for them.

Designing AI agents to resist prompt injection
- Published: 2026-03-11 19:30 Beijing Time
- Summary: - AI agents are increasingly capable of browsing the web, retrieving information, and taking actions on behalf of users.
- These capabilities are useful, but they also create new ways for attackers to try to manipulate the system.
- In our experience, the most effective real-world versions of these attacks increasingly resemble social engineering rather than simple prompt overwrites.
- If the problem isn’t just about identifying malicious strings but resisting misleading or manipulative content in context, then defending against it cannot rely solely on filtering inputs.
It also needs to design systems so that even if some attacks succeed, the impact of manipulation is limited.

Here are the technical trends, product hotspots, unique viewpoints, and recommended resources, extracted and summarized from tweets by AI influencers on X over the past 24 hours:
AI Influencer X Tweet Summary (2026-03-11) Link to heading
1. Commonly Followed Technical Trends or Product Hotspots Link to heading
- AI Agents and the OpenClaw Ecosystem: This was the most discussed topic. Influencers are focusing on Agent security, application scenarios, skill development, and integration with hardware (like the Xiaomi ecosystem). @zhixianio is focused on the security issues of OpenClaw and has provided a security practices guide. @op7418 is actively exploring the integration of OpenClaw with various tools, such as Feishu, QQ, and Google Workspace. @AI_Jasonyu observed that OpenClaw is merging multiple fields such as AI, Web3, and independent developers.
- Claude Code and Related Tools: Many influencers are using Claude Code and sharing tips and issues they’ve encountered. @Pluvio9yte emphasized the importance of a “Plan” and shared experiences on how to avoid having their Claude account banned. @dotey analyzed the cost structure of Claude Code and believes that Anthropic is likely profitable on a per-subscriber basis.
- Multimodal Models: @Gorden_Sun highlighted Google’s release of Gemini Embedding 2, believing its unified embedding vector space can effectively reduce latency and improve recall rates for multimodal data processing.
- AI-Assisted Design: @vista8 is focusing on the application of AI in the design field and recommended tools like Veeso AI, which can generate editable posters from a single sentence.
2. Noteworthy Unique Viewpoints or Industry Outlook Link to heading
- The Importance of Agent Security: @zhixianio emphasized the importance of Agent security and pointed out that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has also issued a warning about OpenClaw configuration risks. He called on the community to jointly discuss specific scenarios for Agent security in order to develop more comprehensive prevention guidelines.
- Harness Engineering is Cybernetics: An article translated by @dotey points out that the essence of Harness Engineering is cybernetics: letting AI agents write code by designing environments, building feedback loops, and encoding architectural constraints into rules. He believes that agent-based engineering makes documentation, automated testing, codified architectural decisions, and rapid feedback loops even more important.
- Research is More Important than Engineering: @Gorden_Sun quoted an article by @amytam01, stating that when code is free, research is what truly matters. He believes the core difficulty of research lies in uncertainty, and a researcher’s core ability is to judge whether a problem is worth betting their career on.
- The Impact of AI on Personal Abilities: @lijigang observed that prolonged conversations with AI might lead to memory decline. He believes that the combination of human + AI is getting stronger, but the individual “I” is getting weaker. He suggests reading a physical book for an hour every day to “slow down” and re-engage with the immersive experience of reading.
- The Correct Way to Approach AI Programming: @Gorden_Sun believes Amazon’s move to “lay off junior staff -> push for AI-written code -> suffer frequent production crashes -> have remaining senior staff work overtime to review AI’s code” is a “cost-reduction that’s become a joke,” and questions if this is the right approach.
- Reflections on OpenClaw: @dotey reflected on the FOMO phenomenon around OpenClaw, believing its essence is directing Claude Code via IM. He thinks it solves the problem of providing emotional value and helps AI vendors sell unused tokens, but is more suitable for showing off and “cyber-chanting.”
- The Entrepreneurial Mindset in the AI Era: @AI_Jasonyu believes that most people are not suited for entrepreneurship because they cannot accept failure, the endless days of hardship, or the need for long-term commitment. He advises that entrepreneurs must have a good mindset and a positive attitude; otherwise, it’s better to get a regular job or start a one-person company with minimal investment.
