we're fully in the agent orchestration phase of AI products now. we went from LLMs behind the scenes powering features to talking to models directly (chat), the models using tools (agents), to agents orchestrating agents.

Diffusion models are great, but we can squeeze out so much more from them. The only problem is that it usually requires extra training or manual representation editing. In our new paper, we show that with the current capabilities of LLMs, it is much simpler than we thought!

@emollick agree.

We are back to the phase of the AI news cycle where people are underestimating how jagged the AI ability frontier is, as well as how much they still depend on expert human decision-making or guidance at key points in order to function well. Still far from "doing all jobs," today.

@Macxim like it

@LukeW Pretty cool

4,500+ images later, I'm still getting asked how my custom AI image maker keeps my character, style, etc. so consistent...

so wrote up a new article detailing updates I've made since launch: new models, prompt-rewriting, and more: lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?2…

@serglotz then i have to click, like a primitive.

@LukeW My coding agent just gives me the Vercel preview url; think further ahead

be like my coding agent. show me what you changed with a screenshot instead of writing lots of text.

@osnysantos Intent: augmentcode.com/intent

@LukeW hey luke, it's been a long time. which tool is this?

Stop playing telephone between design and development: make a change in Figma, turn it to code in one app.

@jwatte @sampullara every team in every tech company I’ve ever worked at always plead for “more resources”

@sampullara I believe they don't need them. I believe they accept them because they're still profitable enough. I believe the main force driving to hire is the ambition of their manager levels.

i genuinely believe that google, facebook, microsoft and others didn’t need a fraction of the people they hired but did so to cover up their insane monopolies and reduce profits

added Figma quick install to Intent to make this even easier.

skip the design system software. build directly from a design spec using Figma MCP and Intent.

article outlining it all is here: lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?2…

my recent Designing AI Products talk outlined lessons we've learned building AI-native companies the past four years. ESP. patterns that proved durable as we speed-run through rhe evolution AI products published a detailed walkthrough of the talk with video demos etc.

video walkthrough for those who want more details on this setup and workflow: youtube.com/watch?time_con…

Staff Engineer @sambreed breaks down how Augment Intent's multi-agent team actually works under the hood. No hidden system prompts. You can see and edit everything driving the agents.

@Marmankites yes video walkthrough: youtube.com/watch?v=Ednpn1…

@LukeW Did you document your workflow / process for this anywhere? Super interesting 🧐

damn. my LukeW character maker is cooking now. try new version here: lukew.com/maker/

Here's the Figma < > Intent workflow in detail: * Seed the project manually with Astro + Tailwind init commands (or your preferred stack) * Connect Figma MCP to pull design data directly into Intent's context * Copy Figma frame links for design system colors, typography, grid specs, and page content * First prompt: extract custom colors from Figma and add them to Tailwind config. * Second prompt: build the landing page from Figma comp content * Third prompt: extract header/footer into reusable components, then build remaining 7-8 pages in parallel using Intent's multi-agent delegation * Queue tasks so the coordinator could dispatch multiple implementer agents simultaneously across non-overlapping files * Run a verification pass where the agent compared output against the Figma comp to catch mismatches * Dispatch the UI Designer specialist for a polish pass to fix issues the verifier flagged End result: a multi-page website that was ~95% faithful to the Figma comp in roughly 45 minutes. Designer then iterated on the last 5% using Intent.

@geoffa only gonna get wilder.

@LukeW Man, what a world we're living in now!
