Framer is an amazing product that brings design so close to reality for the first time. Making your canvas into a web page is something other tools haven't done, but Framer has. During the Beta period, Framer's team always provided the quickest support for designers who needed features like ZIndex, Grids, and more. Not only that, but Framer still retains its original prototyping features, which is rare for a product with big changes. In terms of visual design, Framer still needs improvement, such as improving the experience of vector tools. Framer must be one of the most valuable software for designers!

I've been using Figma for a few years now and think it's paving the way for collaboration in the design community. It makes it very easy for cross-functional teams to work together.

Voiceflow is very beginner friendly, and it is capable of growing with your needs. When I first started using Voiceflow, I was new to AI and new to automation. I started off with their templates and watched their instructionals (super easy to implement), and learned a lot about the principles of automation (e.g., through javascript code blocks and API call blocks) to the point where I started discovering new automation oppotunities in my workflows.

We work with the Standuply Teams scrum bot on a regular basis. In my experience regular asynchronous standups may turn into status updates and team may feel the monotony. So we combine async/face-to-face formats but still with a Standuply bot. We set up this bot so that it collects an agenda before a meeting, and then sends everyone a link to this meeting, which is also held through scrum bot and at this face-to-face meeting, all team members can see the prepared agenda on their screens and talk on topic. At offline meetings, we sometimes run the Standuply automation of a Planning Poker or demonstrate graphs and analytics collected from task trackers. That fills live meetings with visual point.

The MUI UI toolkit is one of the best systems out there. Although there are some feature in the data grid I would like to see, their table is full of nice features. Great Figma integration and FE team has no issues using the code set.
