Keeping our design system up-to-date is far from cheap. It's not just about the direct costs, either. There's the time investment from our team, constantly diverting resources away from innovation to maintenance. If AI could step in to streamline this update process, imagine the possibilities. We could drastically cut down on expenses, sure, but even more exciting is the potential to free up our creative minds. They could focus on pushing boundaries instead of getting bogged down in the update cycle. This could truly be a turning point, not just in managing costs, but in unleashing our design potential.

Trying to keep designs uniform across different platforms is like herding cats – practically impossible! Honestly, the thought of relying on AI for such nuanced tasks feels a bit iffy. Could it really catch all the subtleties? I have my doubts.
