I only had access to Fable for 72 hours.
That was enough.
In those 72 hours, I stopped thinking about AI as a tool and started thinking about it as a team.
I built systems that would have normally taken weeks:
• An AI-powered YouTube editing workflow
• An autonomous clipping system for content distribution
• A smarter business development pipeline with better lead enrichment
And I was just getting started.
Next on the list:
→ An AI executive assistant
→ Meeting preparation workflows
→ Client follow-ups
→ Research systems
→ Content operations
→ Internal business processes running on autopilot
The crazy part isn't what I built.
It's how quickly ideas turned into working systems.
For years, the bottleneck was execution.
Now the bottleneck is imagination.
The people who win over the next few years won't be the ones working harder.
They'll be the ones building systems that work while they sleep.
72 hours with Fable was enough to make one thing clear:
The future belongs to people who learn how to orchestrate AI, not just use it.

My full design cycle for an AI startup 💻✨
One of my recent favorite projects was a full design cycle for Telephone AI —
brand identity, website, industry pages, and the platform itself.
AI integrated into every step of the process.
Case study is still coming 👀
But working on that project reminded me of what I actually love most
about early-stage startups: being in on it early.
Researching a new market, figuring out who the real user is,
what they need, what they've never had before —
and laying the right foundation from day one
instead of fixing it later.
Best practices from MVP. Not retrofitted after.
Here's what that process looks like for me now:
↳ Claude Projects — all the context in one place:
call transcripts, competitor research, personas,
feature priorities for MVP and what-can-wait
↳ Claude Code — structure, interactions,
clickable logic tested before Figma even opens.
Design system with tokens built from the start.
↳ Figma MCP — moved there for customization
and a proper clickable prototype the client can actually walk through
From idea to something real to click —
without weeks of "give us time to think."

Goated!
The hardest part of creative work isn't creating.
It's deciding what to create next.
As creatives, we make hundreds of decisions every day:
• What should I work on next?
• Which idea is worth pursuing?
• Where did I leave off?
• What's the next step?
That mental load adds up.
So for the Config Makeathon, I built Ezzi; an AI-powered creative operating system designed to reduce decision fatigue and help creators spend less time figuring out what to do and more time actually creating.
The feature I'm most excited about is the Memory Engine.
Ezzi remembers context, projects, priorities, and how you work, so you don't have to start from scratch every day.

What AI tools are you using in your design workflow in 2026? 🤖
AI has become a regular part of many designers' workflows.
Today, it's hard to imagine the design process without AI tools — or even a designer who doesn't use them in some way.
I'm curious: what AI tools do you use most often in your work?
Do they help you with research, wireframing, prototyping, content creation, coding, or something else?
I'd love to discover new tools and learn how other designers are using AI to speed up their workflow and improve their process.

Your answer might help not only me but other designers discover something new as well.
