The beautiful new @mercury IO card is here!! Our collab with the stunning artist and sculptor Simone Bodmer-Turner!
We love agents but we love security more. So we build some agent controls for you!
1/ Today, @Mercury is launching Agent Controls: see every agent connected to your account, what it can do, its activity, and cut it off in seconds.
Big banks are locking AI agents out. It’s bad security, and an admission they don’t understand the future.

more design thinking > faster screens
“3 to 4x faster” is the wrong thing to be proud of. If the win is that designers make screens faster, you’ve sped up the part that was never the problem. I don't think moving off Figma makes anyone a better designer. Pointing an LLM at your UI kit just gets you a screen that looks like your product, rendered quicker.
The hard part of designing a product isn’t the happy path. It’s knowing your customers and your business. All the research, all the states the product can be in, how it behaves in each one. Our prototypes are code first, so they run on that context in the same code we ship.
At @mercury we use the time we get back differently. It goes into exploring more directions, pressure testing them against real customer insights, and iterating on the details until they feel right. That extra time is spent on more revs and it’s how we keep our craft bar as high as it is.
Revolut's designers are moving off Figma.
Storonsky spotted one team designing much faster than the others. What they did:
1. Gave an LLM Revolut's design system at the code level
2. Prompted it to build new flows on top of that system
3. Got a live interface they can click through on a laptop or phone, instead of static frames
Result: 3-4x faster. Now he's pushing it to every designer at Revolut.
His job, as he describes it: find what works in one team and spread it across the company.

So special! @figma & @mercury design community dinner was so beautiful! @amylimabean my friend, you were the best partner to organize this with!!!!
Something special happened at a long table in Brooklyn last week 🥹
25 designers, a family style meal, zero panels, and conversations and new connections I'm still dreaming about.
Thank you to @arylxl , @mercury , and @figma for bringing this vision to life with me!
Next dinner is already brewing, interest form here: forms.gle/pYdPDYfjPJZQBkdX7

NYC designers, where y'all at 👀
I'm hosting my first design dinner with @figma next Wednesday Oct 21 and have a few open seats.
There will be no tech talks, presentations, or panels - just an intimate group of designers eating family style in a beautiful Brooklyn brownstown.
If you're craving deeply human conversations about what's inspiring you and meeting likeminded creatives in an intentional, non-branded gathering, my DMs are open 💌
$1B in annualized revenue deserves a thank you to our customers, the dreamers, the radically different ones - not popping champagne! Keep dreaming big we’ll help you get there!
Beautifully crafted the very first Mercury book!
In honor of Mercury Books, the very first Mercury Book:
Luca Pacioli: Ancient Double-Entry Bookkeeping, re-designed, re-issued, and published by Mercury.

We're hiring engineers/design engineers to build tools on the Design Foundations team at @mercury -- we're a team redefining the craft of our UI, creative product expression, and how we build products.
Are you obsessed with building custom design tools? Are you using AI to fine tune expressive interaction patterns?
lets talk.

I’ve joined @Mercury as VP Brand Creative.
I’ll be leading Brand Creative across strategy, narrative, design, and writing.
Mercury is reimagining banking as an intelligent system, built around how people use money to build great things.
Grateful for the opportunity.

Top designer at Mercury shows her agentic design explorations in Figma.
Designers working on AI features should copy this and sketch how the LLM works before prototyping.

This is how a designer at Mercury does agentic design.
Designers building agentic products should copy this design principle. Make users confirm in a deterministic way before any money movement happens.
