John Bai - The Grok Bot design journey

from Dive Club 🤿

Grok Bot has been going viral the last two weeks so this week's episode is a behind-the-scenes of the design journey with John Bai (who was the first NYC design hire at Cursor). He screen-shares a ton of agent interaction pattern ideas as well as his unused concepts for the Grok Bot onboarding flow. Some highlights: - The prototype that led to the Grok Bot mascot - Why John realized chat was still the right UX for AI - How John uses agents to streamline his Figma work - Comparing John's onboarding concepts for Grok Bot - Why John still starts his design explorations in Figma - What it took to turn AI agents into a consumer product - Why no two designers at Cursor have the same tools/process - + a lot more Ridd mentioned Colin Dunn’s episode ("informed simplicity")
