How are you turning design into code? This month’s AI Tinkerers demo day is focusing on a specific focus, which is taking visual media- mockups, screenshots, design, and turning them into production ready code.

Everyone has design context floating around. Figma files, screenshots, PR comments, Notion docs, bug tickets, Slack threads, CI logs.

This meetup is a builders’ night about the design → code loop. How teams are codifying design intent, making it testable, and wiring it into modern AI-assisted coding workflows. Screenshots are one common implementation detail, but the real question is bigger: how do you turn design intent into something engineers (and agents) can act on?

Come share what you’ve been jamming on, and learn with the Baz team as they walk through their Spec Reviewer Design Spotlight work: capturing runtime UI evidence, localizing the right element for a requirement, and rendering artifacts that stay readable across device sizes. Expect a live demo. Then we’ll do community demos from teams building on this theme across frontend, QA, design parity, CI, and AI coding tools.

No slide decks please. Just working systems and the people who built them.

What To Expect

• Short technical talks + live demos. Show your workflow, not your opinions.
• Design-to-code loops in the real world. Requirements, design systems, UI verification, PR review, and AI-assisted iteration.
• A builders’ room. Engineers, designers-who-code, QA/infra folks, and anyone trying to make “design intent” computable.
• Pizza, little bites, soda. Maybe even a white claw or two.

Who is this for?

We are not just “AI enthusiasts”, we are AI Tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers is active collaboration around early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to embrace experimentation, foster an atmosphere of trust and innovation, and create world-changing solutions. 🌍

What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup exclusively for practitioners with technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds who are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If you’re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and want to connect with like-minded people who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetings happening in many cities, we support a dedicated global community.

🎤 Demo Submissions

We want demos that answer the prompt: “How are you taking designs and incorporating them into your AI coding flow?” Examples:

• Turning Figma/design system intent into checkable requirements. Bonus points if it involves the Figma MCP.
• UI verification workflows that aren’t brittle (visual, structural, or hybrid)
• Design parity checks beyond naive pixel diffs
• Runtime evidence pipelines (screenshots, DOM snapshots, interaction traces) and how you make them reliable
• PR review workflows that connect design intent → evidence → code change
• Multi-step flows (login/onboarding/payment) and how you verify states match intent
• Tooling that links artifacts back to a requirement, test step, or code path

Pitch decks are not allowed. We want to see your work in progress, no matter how messy.

Please note: capacity is limited, so we’ll prioritize folks who can present a demo.
