Uber Automates Design Documentation with Agentic Systems
Our take
Uber is redefining design documentation with its innovative uSpec, which leverages AI agents and the Figma Console MCP to reduce documentation time from weeks to mere minutes. This integration with the Michelangelo platform employs a GenAI Gateway for effective PII redaction, ensuring data remains secure and local. The shift from Uber's "Visual-First" Figma workflow to a "Guide-First" approach reflects a broader industry trend, emphasizing the need for efficiency in design processes while catering to developers' preferences for agentic IDEs.

Uber’s uSpec uses AI agents and the Figma Console MCP to automate design specs, cutting documentation time from weeks to minutes. Integrated with the Michelangelo platform, it uses a GenAI Gateway for PII redaction, ensuring data stays local. This reflects a 2026 industry shift between Uber’s "Visual-First" Figma workflow and a "Guide-First" approach favored by developers using agentic IDEs.
