AI is fundamentally shifting the way we think about digital products and the core deliverables that we're bringing to the table as designers. So I asked Geoffrey Litt ( https://x.com/geoffreylitt ) (Design Engineer at Notion) to share his vision for the future of malleable software and AI system design. Here’s some highlights: - The keys to effective system design - Geoffrey’s workflow for “working like a surgeon” - Why too many products become “nightmare bicycles” - The principles of malleable software vs. disposable software - Why version control is the most important AI interaction problem - Inside Geoffrey’s malleable software experiments at Ink & Switch - + a lot more -[Ink & Switch is the research lab ( https://www.inkandswitch.com/ ) - Changing Minds by Seymour Papert ( https://worrydream.com/refs/Papert_1980_-_Mindstorms,_1st_ed.pdf ) - Geoffrey’s nightmare bicycle article ( https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2025/03/03/the-nightmare-bicycle ) - Don Norman’s Living with Complexity ( https://www.amazon.com/Living-Complexity-Press-Donald-Norman/dp/0262014866 ) - Spell Burst by Tyler Angert ( https://spellburstllm.github.io/ ) - A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander ( https://www.amazon.com/Pattern-Language-Buildings-Construction-Environmental/dp/0195019199 ) - Patchwork - Geoffrey’s collaboration environment at Ink & Switch ( https://www.inkandswitch.com/patchwork/notebook/ ) ⭐️ You can use the code DIVECLUB to get 20% off your first month of Lovable Pro 1!
