EU Diversity Month 2026 at Intunio

On May 26, we're hosting Add Gender AB, Normingenjörerna and Antidiskrimineringsbyrån Fyrbodal at our office. 🧡 The event is about inclusive recruitment processes, EU Diversity Month's theme for 2026. How do you actually pull that off when daily work is full of stress, quick decisions and cognitive biases? The event runs 15:30-17:30 at our office and everyone is welcome to drop by: sign up here.

Title card for the article “.md, a new standard for design systems?”, with isometric tiles labelled .md

Text card: “What is design.md?”, on a single file with a YAML block of tokens plus text describing how components should look and behave

Text card: “No central component library”, on how implementation in design.md comes from AI agents, existing code or external libraries

Text card: “Consistency takes three things”, on tokens in one place, the .md file in the project, and an instruction to import existing components

Text card: “An extension, not a new paradigm”, on how what changes is the shape of the delivery when code is no longer necessarily written by a human

Text card: “Design systems are not about the files”, on ensuring the right decisions are made consistently no matter who or what implements them

.md – a new standard for design systems?

Design systems have long had a clear form. Colors, typography, and tokens. Components in Figma. A connected codebase and documentation that ties everything together. The model is built for a world where humans design and humans code. Now AI agents are writing interface code for real. Over the past year, a new format has emerged: a plain text file that describes the design system so both humans and agents can read it. 👉 Here is how we think about what it means: .md – a new standard for design systems?

Title card for the article “User research in industrial products” showing Moa Lundgren, UX designer at Intunio, at her desk

Text card: “We meet the people who do the work”, on how talking to operators, technicians and installers reveals what documentation rarely shows

Text card: “Words and actions give the full picture”, on how observation in process plants and Ex-rated zones complements what people say

Text card: “Research surfaces what is hard to see”, on features that create stress under time pressure and steps that feel needlessly complex

Text card: “Research as the basis for design decisions”, on user journeys, hierarchical task analysis and early prototypes

Text card: “We start from how people actually work”, on understanding people, their work and the choices they make in reality

User research in industrial products

To understand how industrial products are actually used, we meet the people who work with them every day. It is in conversations with operators, technicians and installers that the real insights emerge – the kind of things that rarely come through fully in documentation or internal discussions. 💬💡 Moa Lundgren shares some perspectives on how we work with user research in industrial products. 👉 Read more about the project Emerson

Foss-north community day 2026

On Sunday we're lending out our office to foss-north, an open source conference held in Gothenburg every year. 🙌 Daniel Raniz R. is hosting a hands-on workshop on Test Driven Development for everyone curious about open source and better code. Great to see FOSS North choose to hold their community day with us this year! 🧡 👉 Read more about the event

Title card for the article “When AI should be felt but not seen”, with isometric tiles labelled AI

Text card: “Many want to integrate AI into their products”, on how the question is rarely whether to use AI but how

Text card: “Chat is one solution, but not the only one”, on how chat interfaces are optimised for the builder rather than the user

Text card: “Chat puts the burden on the user”, on how the user has to know what is possible and judge whether the answer is correct

Text card: “When AI should be invisible”, on scoped choices, context-aware suggestions, autofill and ranking

Text card: “We start from the task”, on how Intunio picks interfaces based on what the task actually requires

When AI should be felt – but not seen

Many companies we meet want to integrate AI into their products. The question is almost never whether to do it, but how. 🤖💭 Chat is a natural first choice. But depending on what the product needs to do, there are often better options. Here is our perspective on when chat is the right choice and when AI does the most good without being noticed: When AI Should Be Felt – But Not Seen

Figma plugin to track component usage across files

Imagine you have a design component that is used in 40 places in a large Figma project, across multiple files. You want to make an update. But before you do, you want to understand the impact – which screens are affected, which flows change, and what might break? 👀 Without the right tools, this becomes a manual, painful and time-consuming task. So our designer Sebastian Troedson and developer Johan Huynh built their own plugin to solve it: Hugin 🙌 Hugin shows exactly where a component is used – even across multiple files – so you can make well-informed decisions before making a change. Less manual searching, fewer broken components, and better control in your design system. ✨ Hugin is available in the Figma community if you want to try it

How technology can contribute to more inclusive cities

Last week, Jenny Lindström Beijar from Our Normal and Anna Kolback from Studio Berget held a lunch workshop with us about the project European Citiverses Uniting for Inclusiveness. The project brings together 12 partners from across Europe 🌍 with the goal of creating smarter, more inclusive and more human-centered urban environments. After the presentation, we worked in groups to discuss and further develop ideas on how technology can help lower barriers in city life for people with special needs, children, and other groups that often face barriers in everyday life. An inspiring and important discussion about how design, technology and collaboration can contribute to more inclusive societies. 🤝 Thank you to Jenny, Anna and everyone who participated in the workshop! 🧡

Design systems for the industry

Design systems are often crucial when industrial products need to be developed and scaled over time. 🚀 Industrial systems have often evolved over many years, sometimes across several product generations and with different teams involved. Without a shared structure, interfaces quickly start to diverge, both within a product and between products in the same ecosystem. 🤔 A well-thought-out design system makes it possible to create consistent interfaces, build on established patterns, and continue developing products without losing clarity or direction. Here, Luka Mrkonjic shares some perspectives on design systems in industrial products. 👉 Read more about the project Emerson Design system
