Escha Vera 分享了作为设计师加入 Perplexity 并接手全新 AI 浏览器 Comet 的经历，从零开始，没有设计系统。
Escha Vera shares her journey of joining Perplexity as a designer and being handed the keys to the all-new AI browser Comet, starting without a design system.
要点 · TL;DR
Perplexity 的 Comet 浏览器从类似 Chrome 的熟悉设计入手，以降低 AI 采用门槛。 Perplexity's Comet browser starts familiar like Chrome to ease AI adoption.
用代码而非 Figma 构建设计系统，可实现 AI 产品的一致性和可扩展性。 Design systems in code, not Figma, enable scalable AI product consistency.
AI 助手以标签页形式比窗口形式更有效。 AI agents work better as tab-based assistants than window-based ones.
核心观点 · Key points
AI 工具应融入工作流，而非用作即时输出的老虎机。 AI tools should be integrated into workflows, not used as slot machines for instant outputs.
设计系统应存在于代码中而非仅 Figma，以实现跨产品的一致性和可扩展性。 Design systems in code, not just Figma, enable consistency and scalability across products.
新产品中的熟悉感可降低认知负荷，让用户专注于新颖的 AI 功能。 Familiarity in new products reduces cognitive load, allowing users to focus on novel AI features.
通过界面（滑块、下拉菜单）产品化 AI 比原始提示更适合普通用户。 Productizing AI via interfaces (sliders, dropdowns) is better than raw prompts for lay users.
设计团队的高度自主权和所有权可带来高影响力和更快的迭代。 High autonomy and ownership in design teams lead to high impact and faster iteration.
反共识 · Contrarian takes
AI 浏览器应像 Chrome 一样熟悉，而非像 Arc 那样激进，以吸引主流用户。 AI browser should start familiar like Chrome, not radically different like Arc, to attract mainstream users.
基于智能体的浏览器助手采用标签页式而非窗口式更佳，与初始直觉相反。 Agent-based browser assistant works better as tab-based than window-based, contrary to initial instinct.
设计系统可在几周内从零构建，即使面对重大产品发布。 Design systems can be built from scratch in a few weeks, even for a major product launch.
使用 Suno 等 AI 工具生成音乐被低估；它们让非音乐人也能创作音频。 Using AI tools like Suno for music generation is underrated; they enable non-musicians to create audio.
邀请制发布结合生成式艺术可营造专属感和兴奋感，尽管更复杂。 Invite-only rollout with generative art creates exclusivity and excitement, despite being more complex.
AI 并非天生是老虎机；通过迭代混音，它可以成为创意跳板。 AI is not inherently a slot machine; it can be a creative springboard through iterative remixing.
