Summary: Claude Design just dropped, and yes, people are already calling it the Figma killer. In this video I walk you through what the tool actually does, how to use it to design websites and app mockups from scratch or from an existing project, and why the "Figma is dead" crowd almost certainly don't use Figma. I cover the full workflow: connecting a GitHub repo, working with the built-in design system, adding inline comments, and iterating on designs the same way you would with a human designer.

The honest bit: there are serious limitations. The usage limits are so aggressive I burned through my weekly allowance on one prompt while on the $200 plan, and every single output defaults to the same Anthropic oyster-cream colour palette that is going to become the new purple-gradient AI tell. I show you exactly how to fight that, including a skill pack that gives Claude Design nine alternative style directions so your work doesn't look like it was built by the same tool as everyone else's. If you're an entrepreneur who wants to get something decent out the door fast, this is worth your time. If you're a working designer, come back in a few weeks.
