Agentic OS for UX/design agencies.

You already know the real problem: implicit logic has to become explicit before AI can build anything coherent. Aikin builds the system that takes your Figma plus your specs and produces real working prototypes and build-ready packages — on your projects, in your style.

The buyer

A studio whose value leaks at the handoff

A small, senior team doing enterprise UX for genuinely complex workflows. The compliance grind isn't the issue — the pain lives in the gap between design output and working software, and in the leverage each designer's time produces.

Spec-to-build handoff

You design beautifully, but the build is done by teams you don't manage. Every handoff loses information.

Making implicit logic explicit

Everything that was implicit has to be made concrete before anyone can build it coherently. That's the actual bottleneck — and the wall AI-from-Figma experiments keep hitting.

Design system maintenance

Every system needs ongoing tuning, documentation, accessibility checks (WCAG 2.2), and translation across projects.

Prototyping interactive logic

Figma is fine for screens, weak for state. Real flows, transitions, and conditional behaviour live somewhere else.

Research synthesis

On-site shadowing produces hours of material. Synthesising it into insights and user stories is slow.

New business & proposals

Small team, founders carrying sales. Each pitch is bespoke and time-expensive.

The Agentic OS for a design studio

Not generic “AI for design” tools — a specialised constellation built on top of how your studio actually works.

The specification agent

Takes a Figma design plus a structured logic spec and produces a complete, testable, build-ready package: user stories, state diagrams, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and API contracts. Solves exactly the wall AI-from-Figma experiments hit — making implicit logic explicit.

The prototype agent

Takes design plus spec and produces a runnable React/Next.js prototype with the actual state machine wired up — real filtering, real status transitions, real conditional messages. Designers can hand users something that behaves like the product months before the dev team starts.

The design system agent

Maintains and evolves a client's design system. Watches Figma changes, generates documentation, flags inconsistencies, generates code components matching design tokens, and runs WCAG 2.2 checks automatically.

The research synthesis agent

Ingests interview recordings and observation notes, generates themed insights, maps them to user stories, and builds research repositories that stay searchable across projects.

The proposal & discovery agent

Drafts proposals from a brief, pulls relevant past work, and generates first-draft workshop plans — freeing the founders for the actual conversations.

The pattern library agent

Makes years of complex-workflow design patterns searchable in plain language, turning institutional memory into leverage on every new project.

What's different about this engagement

UX/design firms come to Aikin as collaborators, which changes the register of the work.

You're a partner, not a novice

This isn't AI evangelism. The agencies that fit have already tried, learned the hard way, and now need an architectural partner to make it work at scale. Aikin brings the agentic architecture; you bring the design domain expertise.

The work is partly an AI project itself

Some agents Aikin builds for you can become offerings you provide to your own clients — design and delivery leverage that compounds beyond your studio.

Provenance has a real story here

Design systems with verifiable provenance and audit trails for accessibility compliance matter for the regulated enterprise clients design agencies often serve.

How the engagement works

Two paid steps. Discovery first; the build is quoted from what discovery surfaces.

Step 1 — Discovery & Blueprint

2–3 weeks

We workshop with your team to map the workflow end-to-end — from design output to working software — and co-design the architecture with your leads. Where it fits, we prove the specification agent on one live project during discovery.

Deliverable: A blueprint specific to your studio, with a quoted price and timeline for the build. Yours to keep.

Fixed price: €10–15K.

Step 2 — Build & Implementation

quoted after discovery

Connect to Figma (via MCP), dev-handoff tools, the research stack, and your CRM. Start with the specification and prototype agents — the highest-leverage win — then expand. You use and iterate as Aikin builds; nothing is handed over as a black box.

Deliverable: A working Agentic OS. UX/design carries meaningful integration depth — Figma, dev handoff, research, design systems — typically the mid-to-upper range of the build band.

Price: €40–120K depending on scope.

Step 3 — Optional retainer

ongoing

Tuning the agents, extending the system, and identifying which agents can become productised offerings you resell to your own clients.

€4–7K / month, with optional co-product economics where agents become offerings you resell.

Designed with Okapion

Okapion — a Rotterdam human-centred-design agency — is Aikin's design partner for Agentic OS, co-designing the engagement pattern for UX and design studios and lined up as the first external build.

The choice isn't accidental. They had already tried AI — publicly. Their blog post “We had Claude build a platform from Figma — here's what went wrong” (April 2026) is the canonical version of the wall sophisticated studios hit. The Aikin engagement starts where their experiment stopped.
