## What the story says

DUOTONE, a digital design agency, runs its whole workflow in Figma, including client communication, developer handoff with Dev Mode, variable-based design systems, visual production, custom plugins, and AI agents connected through the MCP server.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Figma and DUOTONE, not ours.

> 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.

- **20%**: “with 20% less time lost to file exports and tool switching”
- **3 hours to 5 minutes**: “the average QA time per report was reduced from 3 hours to 5 minutes”

> 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.
