FIGMA ANNOUNCES BIG REDESIGN WITH AI

Figma has announced a major UI redesign, new generative AI tools, and a built-in slide show functionality. The UI redesign includes a new toolbar, rounded corners, and 200 new icons. The new generative AI tools allow users to quickly get started with a design. Figma Slides is a Google Slides-like feature that allows users to build and share presentations inside the app. It has interactive features for audience members and allows designers to present app prototypes right from the deck. Figma Slides is free while the feature is still beta - it will eventually become a paid feature once officially launched.

THE A.I. BOOM HAS AN UNLIKELY EARLY WINNER: WONKY CONSULTANTS

Many businesses think that AI can help them, but they are uncertain about how. Wonky consultants help businesses figure out how generative AI can help them. The management consulting industry in the US is expected to collect $392.2 billion in sales this year. The work that consultants are enlisted to do varies from business to business and the results have been mixed. Many businesses have shut down AI-powered projects after experiencing too many issues, such as the AI giving incorrect information to customers.
