  • 🎙️ This week on How I AI: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code to design

    • Posted: 2026-02-24 00:02 Beijing Time

  • Summary:

    • “I haven’t written a single line of front-end code in 3 months”: How Notion’s design team uses Claude Code for design
    • Provider:
      • WorkOS — Get your app enterprise-ready now
      • Orkes — The enterprise platform for reliable applications and agent workflows
    • Notion product designer Brian Lovin built a shared AI-powered “prototype playground” that allows the entire design team to use Claude Code to turn Figma designs into working code.
    • Instead of staying in static models, the team prototypes directly in a shared Next.js environment connected to real AI models, so they can test ideas in the browser, catch edge cases early, and design for what’s actually possible.
    • In this episode, Brian details how the system works, how he uses planning patterns, slash commands, and custom Claude skills to automate repetitive tasks, and why his core rule for using AI is simple: when Claude asks you to do something, teach it to do that thing itself.
    • Detailed workflow walkthroughs from this episode:
      • How Notion Uses AI for Design: Brian Lovin’s Prototype Playground and Claude Code Workflow:
      • Automate Your Git and Deployment Workflows with Custom AI Commands:
      • Build AI Workflows to Convert Figma Designs to Code with Self-Correcting Loops:
      • Rapidly Build Interactive Prototypes from Ideas with Claude Code:
    • Biggest Takeaway:
    • Design is shifting towards code-first prototyping.
    • While Brian still spends 60% to 70% of his time in Figma, he believes designers increasingly need to understand the actual capabilities of AI models.

  • Overview: Trending since: 19 hours ago, Related posts: 20,000
  • What it is: Google has released its latest AI image model, Nano Banana 2, claiming it to be the fastest model currently available that can generate high-quality images.
  • Why it matters: If the model can deliver on its promise of being the “fastest and high-quality,” it would break the current bottleneck balancing speed and quality in the AI image generation field. This would greatly enhance efficiency in applications like real-time creation and design iteration and could set new industry standards.
  • Discussion overview: Discussions on the X platform are centered on the actual performance of Nano Banana 2, with users eager to verify its “fastest and high-quality” claims and compare it with existing mainstream AI image models. The model’s availability, potential use cases, and impact on the competitive landscape of the AI image generation market are also key topics of discussion.

  • Overview: Trending since: 1 day ago, Related posts: 1,000,000
  • What it is: A standoff within the U.S. Senate GOP has delayed the SAVE America Act’s voter ID bill.
  • Why it matters: This bill involves the policy framework for citizen identity verification, an area where AI technology plays an increasingly important role in digital identity, biometric verification, and combating disinformation. The delay or final form of the bill will influence the development direction and ethical considerations for AI in future election security, citizen data privacy, and identity management applications.
  • Discussion overview: Discussions on X are mainly focused on the internal divisions within the Republican party and their impact on the legislative process, as well as the controversy surrounding the voter ID bill’s balance between ensuring election integrity and potentially restricting voting rights. Some discussions may also touch on the potential role and challenges of future digital identity verification technologies (including AI) in elections.

AI Public Opinion Summary on X Today Link to heading

Today’s main thread of AI discourse on the X platform clearly shows that while AI technology is accelerating industrial transformation, it has also sparked widespread concern about market overheating, job displacement, and ethical governance. The industry generally recognizes the immense potential of AI in enhancing efficiency (e.g., layoffs at Block, acceleration of Google’s new models) and optimizing resources (e.g., NanoGPT Slowrun’s emphasis on data efficiency). However, there are clear disagreements on whether an investment bubble exists in the AI sector (like CZ’s concerns) and its future development path (the trade-off between speed and efficiency). The ethical boundaries and governance challenges of AI have become a consensual focus, particularly reflected in the power struggle over technological control between AI companies (like Anthropic) and national security needs, as well as the privacy and fairness risks brought by AI applications in sensitive areas like identity verification (e.g., the US voter bill). Potential risks are primarily concentrated in the drastic shifts in the labor structure driven by AI, the possibility of a market bubble bursting, and the societal, ethical, and national security issues arising from the misuse or loss of control of AI technology.
