Spotify plans to sell AI remixes as a Premium add-on. The harder product questions start when a song is unavailable, or if permission ends after the remix exists.

A cinema ticket makes a loading screen part of a webfilm. The useful test is when the page is ready to use, and when its introduction lets you through.

An e-commerce business asked us for AI recommendations. We used the LLM for catalogue preparation and search interpretation, with rules for everyday recommendations.

Book of Shapes turns iconic graphics into rules you can read. We tested one across three screen formats: the rule adapts, but only if it also knows where to fade.

OpenAI introduced Dots and Space at DevDay. The promise is ongoing delegation; the product challenge is making work understandable, reviewable and easy to redirect.

Most of the conversation about Apple's foldable is about what Safari cannot see. The more useful question is simpler: what happens to your site when its viewport changes drastically after the page has already loaded?

Since 24 June 2026 an animation lives in the same file as the design, reusable across files and exportable as code. That makes it reviewable, and it exposes the one mode nobody was ever asked to define.

Baymard scored seven mobile operators across 500+ UX parameters and none of them reaches even a "decent" experience. They fail on the same thing, and it is not how the sites look: none of them explains the words it sells with.

WebAIM counted 66.6 million images on the million most visited home pages. More than one in four carry alt text that is missing or useless, and automated checks are built to catch only the missing half.

OpenAI now places under-18s into a separate ChatGPT on the strength of an age estimate. A day later Google put the same study tools inside Search, which never asks who is there.

Since 2 August 2026 the EU AI Act has asked for two AI labels: an invisible one the model vendor owes, and a visible one you owe. The sparkle most products shipped is neither.

An agent booking a gym class found a GraphQL API that let it cancel other members' reservations. The flaw was old. What was new is that something finally tried.

Ahrefs measured 2.38% of the URLs ChatGPT cites returning a 404, against 0.84% for Google. A redesign that changes URLs now costs citations, not just rankings.

Figma ran the same 27 design-to-code tasks with and without its components mapped to real code. The gap says more about design systems than about AI.

How AI is finally closing the loop between code and design

You didn't design an experience. You designed a screen.
