What happened
DUOTONE, a digital design agency, runs its planning, documentation, design-system architecture, visual production, and developer handoff inside Figma. It also builds custom plugins and connects AI agents to its Figma libraries to maintain design systems.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Figma and DUOTONE, not ours.
- 90%“90% reduction in spec-document writing time at project handoff, saving more than 80 hours on every project”
- 20%“20% less time on visual production work”
- 5-10 minutes“Report QA time cut from hours to 5-10 minutes”
- 3 hours to 5 minutes“the average QA time per report was reduced from 3 hours to 5 minutes”
As a result, time spent writing standalone spec documents at the handoff stage has dropped by 90%, saving more than 80 hours on every project.
We used to write long emails to exchange feedback, wait for a reply, then re- summarize every change and send it back—over and over. Now the same exchange happens over a single Figma comment, and the time we spend on communication has dropped by more than half.
