A small meetup for designers, builders, and AI-native teams exploring how agents change design, prototyping, and product work.

June 29, 2026 3 min read Community

AI design is moving past demos.

The interesting question now is not whether an agent can generate a good-looking screen. It is whether agents can help teams move from ideas, references, and design systems into real editable projects.

On July 6, Open Design is hosting a small meetup / workshop in Osaka / Kyoto for people exploring that shift in practice. We are keeping the room small, around 20 people, so the conversation can stay practical and direct.

Why we are gathering

Open Design is built around a simple belief: the future of design tools will not be a single closed canvas.

It will be local-first, agent-native, editable, and connected to the tools teams already use.

That creates a different kind of conversation. Less about prompts as tricks, more about workflows: how people actually move from rough intent to visual direction, from visual direction to code, and from code back into iteration.

What we will cover

This will be a small room, not a conference track.

We will talk through real workflows people are using today:

• using AI agents to prototype product ideas
• turning references and design systems into visual outputs
• building websites and landing pages with editable results
• connecting design work with coding agents instead of handing it off
• what still breaks, and what needs to get better

The goal is practical conversation: what is working, what is still rough, and what kind of design workflow becomes possible when the canvas, the codebase, and the agent are part of the same loop.

Who should come

This meetup is for people who are already experimenting with AI-native design, or who are seriously considering how it changes their work.

You might be a designer, founder, engineer, product builder, researcher, or creative technologist. The common thread is that you care about turning ideas into real artifacts, not just screenshots.

Join us in Osaka / Kyoto on July 6

Seats are limited so the conversation can stay practical and direct.
