Deep dives
The Role of AI in Code Generation for Design Systems
AI plays a significant role in the code generation aspect of design systems, particularly in creating components that align with specific organizational conventions. The maturity of AI tools in handling code allows organizations to train models on their unique code bases, resulting in more tailored outputs. For instance, organizations can use AI to generate new components by referencing an existing design system's code base while ensuring consistency with established conventions. This approach can produce high-quality components rapidly, achieving approximately 80% completion, though human oversight remains essential for quality assurance.
