What did Dylan Field say about Anthropic's Claude Design and Figma?

Dylan Field said he was surprised by how Anthropic communicated the launch of Claude Design, putting it down to an organisation scaling unusually fast, and said it did not affect Figma's business to any significant degree. He argued it is easy to mistake model progress for product progress: professional design tools need years of workflow work, and Claude Design is a broad product that may do well in some areas and not others.

• The host noted that Figma reported 48% year-over-year growth after the launch, while markets were declaring Figma dead.
• Field said Figma has an MCP connector and partners with many AI companies.
