In this episode of The Design Table Podcast, Tyler and Nick break down how experienced product designers are actually using AI in real workflows. Not the hype. Not the panic. The practical reality.
They talk through where AI is genuinely useful, where it creates more problems than it solves, and why most of its real value shows up after discovery, not before (like most say).
From copy refinement and edge cases to design system consistency and handoff support, this episode shows how AI helps designers move faster without outsourcing judgment.
If you feel behind because you are not “AI-first” or worried that tools like Figma Make will replace your role, this conversation will help how you think about AI and your craft.
Here is what is on the table:
🔸 Where AI actually fits in a real design process
🔸 Why AI shines in later-stage design work
🔸 Using AI for copy limits, constraints, and edge cases
🔸 How Figma Make and vibe coding fit into real projects
🔸 Treating AI like an assistant instead of a decision-maker
🔸 Why strong design systems matter more than prompts
🔸 The risks of hallucinated UI and false confidence
🔸 Shipping faster without lowering quality
