Design AIVerdict: Try

Paper Design

Connected design canvas for teams that want AI agents, code, design tokens, and real content to work in the same web-standards-based design space.

Decision snapshot

Worth testing for agent-connected design-to-code loops, but keep it as a bounded design workflow pilot until MCP permissions, source-of-truth behavior, and team governance are clear.

Agent-connected designDesign tokensDesign-to-code loopsReal-content mockups
Not good for
Teams that need mature enterprise design governance before a pilot
Main privacy/security risk
Paper's MCP workflow can let AI agents read and write design files, so teams should treat it like a connected design workspace plus an agent permission surface.
