Building real design systems with agents

Agents are changing our world fast, multiplying what we can achieve. But they're only as good as the instructions we give them—and the environments we put them in. In this talk, I'll share how to build and work with real design systems with agents—not just generate prototypes, but operate on production systems that actually ship.

Key Learnings

• How to work with AI agents to build and evolve real design systems
• What you can change in your design system to make it agent-ready
• How to design clear instructions and boundaries so agents don't "hallucinate," but collaborate
• How agents change the role of designers and design engineers

Who is this for

This talk is for people who are already building real products or are curious (or skeptical) about agents: Designers and design engineers working with design systems, Frontend engineers who care about structure, consistency, and scale, Product managers who want to work closer with the real product. You don't need to be an AI expert—but you should care about systems, constraints, and shipping real things.

Speaker

Jan Six, Principal Product Designer at GitHub. I'm a Principal Product Designer working at GitHub, designing agent experiences for Copilot. I've created Tokens Studio which introduces design tokens to Figma, bridging the gap between design and development.
