### AI overview

The article argues that AI agents are transforming web design by replacing the traditional designer-developer handoff with shared, real-time workflows. Designers provide contextual rules from Figma, while agents generate much of the implementation using established Tailwind tokens, allowing teams to focus more on creative and problem-solving work.

### Source excerpt

The designer-developer handoff is officially dead--and AI just pulled the trigger. Instead of wasting weeks translating pixels into code, teams are now building live, together, in real time with AI agents doing the grunt work.
