Since Al took over design, I have never had so many calls from founders asking me to fix their design.
Sit with that one.
Unpopular opinion. Using someone else's Design.md for your website is like ordering your brand from Temu.
Built my kids a 15 sec animated bedtime story with AI.
Featuring my "@AbstractChain green" @pudgypenguins.
Steps in the thread.
What are you using for image and video gen right now?
🤖 Made with AI
Step 2 - Generate a storyboard with GPT image
This is the most important step. I used @magnific Spaces as the main platform and GPT image from @OpenAI to turn the characters into a full storyboard. 12 shots, camera directions, shot types, durations, even dialogue. Structure locked before a single frame was animated.
No storyboard = no film. Even AI needs a script.
(@dreamina_ai Seedance 2.0 is powerful but token-heavy. A tight storyboard keeps video generation clean and on brief.)
🤖 Made with AI
Step 4 - Animate with Seedance 2.0
@Seedance respected the character design better than I expected. The storyboard upstream made all the difference.
Four tools, all inside @magnific (I used one of their templates). Planning to bring this workflow to @AbstractChain and @Abstract_Eco assets soon. Maybe even in-app videos. 👀
Comfort is just a fancy word for stagnation.
Muscles grow from tears. Designers grow from friction. Builders grow from shipping something terrifying.
Get uncomfortable. No better time to be alive and execute.
What are you building, anon?
The reaction to Ferrari’s first electric car is a reminder of why design matters.
Most people aren’t debating performance. They’re reacting emotionally.
“This doesn’t feel like Ferrari” actually means:
“This no longer feels like the thing I loved.”
Because the strongest brands don’t convince people to belong. They make people feel like they already do.
Ferrari just reminded creatives, in and outside of tech, of an important lesson we often forget:
Design moves people. Specs alone don’t.
And that applies to cars, fashion, and tech.
It might also explain why Abstract has such a strong core community.
The best brands build an unwritten DNA, one that makes users, builders, and partners feel like:
“I belong here.”
A few weeks ago, people were calling AI a trend.
OpenAI just raised $122 billion. JPMorgan is circling prediction markets. Which makes the debate over, I believe...
AI is infrastructure. The kind every person with an internet connection will eventually run on. The only question is which layer you play on?
Our Design&Product crew is adapting fast. PRDs, research, wireframes, design systems, assets, videos, characters, working demos. The whole pipeline. Skills compounding in real time, which is insane to see happening.
The people who pushed back a few weeks ago will be asking how to catch up in a few months. We'll have products ready for them. That's a promise.
Which layer are you on?
Trading, building, designing, coding. 👀
My list with AI-nerds is not long enough just yet.
If you’re a Creator or Designer navigating AI right now, you’re probably drowning in hype videos and clickbait.
Let me cut through it.
AI replaces production, not judgment. That’s good news. Your ceiling just got higher.
The skill to develop is prompting, not as a trick but as a discipline. Get precise about what you want and why.
Articulate the intent behind the work. The output reflects exactly how clearly you think.
Every designer I work with learns this first (also in the pre-AI era). Not as an add-on, but as the foundation.
New platforms will keep coming every week, faster than you can test them.
That’s noise. The signal is this: the people who 100x their output are not the ones with the best tools. They are the ones who are most precise about what they want.
The art of prompting and intent is the alpha skill.
All for it.
Getting the masses on board means meeting them where they are.
But full-time builders are playing a different game I believe. The beast isn't fully tamed yet, so you don't try to leash it.
You build the cage instead.
My setup: Claude Code via API on a dedicated Mac mini through @openclaw. No personal files. No private data. 6 agents exploring, experimenting, breaking things.
The machine IS the sandbox. And inside it, nothing is off limits.
What a time to be alive.
Woke up at 3:30 am with a few ideas I couldn’t ignore.
Spun up a new Slack workspace with multiple channels for my agent, each running its own AI model to optimize output.
Then Vibe coded a quick minigame just for fun. Played a few rounds locally.
Lastly, I built a script to automatically overbid by $1 whenever I was outbid for a council seat on an AI DAO since I was about to go to sleep. (I actually got it.)
By 4:30 am, the system was running.
Went back to bed.
My goal is simple: learn it all so I can build products for people, agents, and people running agents.
Curious… should I share the process and steps openly?
If a product guy can do it, you can too.
We’re in the middle of a narrative shift, and most people don’t even realize it.
CT seems to hate bots but love agents.
“Bot” implies you’re being manipulated.
“Agent” implies you’re witnessing and participating in the future.
Same underlying idea. Different framing.
Narrative is everything.
We’re launching early AI Agent experiments on @AbstractChain.
AI Agents are going to reshape how you interact with apps.
If you’re interested in testing, building, or just exploring AI agents early, drop a comment below.
Curious to see who’s paying attention to this space 👀
UX meets AX
User Experience x Agent Experience
The design team will focus on making the AI infrastructure layer for agents on Abstract usable and accessible for both people and agents.
Agents might become the primary users of crypto in the near future. Every system, interaction, and framework will be designed with that shift in mind.
On @AbstractChain, this starts with "Abstract Skills".
AI agents can now interact with everything on Abstract: manage wallets and multisigs, trade on prediction markets, register other agents onchain, and more.
Are you using AI already?
Agents on Abstract
🦞 Meet the Abstract MCP Server!🦞
Agents can now:
• Manage your Abstract global wallets
• Read data from the Portal directly
• Interact directly with the Chain
It works with any MCP-compatible client, including OpenClaw and Claude.
