DESIGN SYSTEMS ARE OVER. PRODUCT CONTEXT IS THE WORK

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Design systems as currently defined no longer match the evolving work needed, especially as AI reshapes product development. While the foundational components remain essential, AI requires broader product context rather than isolated design elements to maintain coherence at scale. The focus must shift from traditional design systems to comprehensive product context that includes the decisions, constraints, and reasoning that guide both human and AI outputs.
