This week: a killer UX framework, jaw-dropping case studies, and tools you can use today.

Not because it was a bad ad; in fact, it had all the right intentions: great imagery, vibrant colours, a happy family scene, and, most importantly, information that mattered.

You can also create custom style variations for WordPress blocks, augmenting what’s included in a default installation. This feature puts you in control of block design and helps establish a consistent look. It also means you don’t have to settle when using core blocks.

The sudden boom in MCP has kicked excitement about the agentic web into high gear. Is this the missing link we’ve needed between AI and all our other tools?

We often spotlight wireframes, research, or tools like Figma, but none of that moves the needle if we can’t collaborate well. Great UX doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes conversations with engineers, alignment with product, sales, and other stakeholders, as well as the ability to listen, adapt, and co-create. That’s where design becomes a team sport, and when your ability to capture the outcomes multiplies the UX impact.

Avoid disorganized files, late dev collaboration, unclear updates, scattered conversations, and assumptions over communication during spec’ing to ensure smoother implementation.

Have you ever felt frustrated because people just don’t seem to understand your product no matter how many times you explain it? You’re definitely not alone. Most first-time founders run into this challenge. Luckily, there’s a straightforward solution to turn this around: mastering Product-Market Fit.

We’ll break down what separates an AI tool from an AI agent, look at real-world examples (some of them will blow your mind), and help you figure out exactly when and why to use each one.
