AI in design systems: what actually works

Practical AI workflows that ship, not demos that impress.

AI * DesignOps * Automation

TL;DR

  • AI works for repetitive, well-defined tasks with human review.
  • Documentation generation saves real hours.
  • Code generation needs guardrails and validation.

Key claims

  • AI-generated component docs cut documentation time by 60%.

  • Unvalidated AI code increases technical debt.

Steal this

  • Component doc generation prompt template
  • AI code review checklist
  • Automation decision framework (automate vs assist vs avoid)
