Let agents do the busywork, keep the creative decisions

Paper is presenting a connected canvas for design teams shipping with agents—a useful signal for how creative software may reorganise the workflow.

The next design tool may be less a canvas and more a coordinated studio assistant.

The Story

The Paper announcement, surfaced in HeyDesigner’s September 5 edition, describes a workflow where agents handle repetitive production while designers focus on decisions that require judgement.

The important distinction is not automation versus craft. It is whether the tool preserves a clear chain from intention to output—so the designer can inspect, redirect and learn from the system rather than merely accept its suggestions.

For Studio Wensday, this points toward building lightweight internal conventions: naming, references, review checkpoints and reusable prompts. The best AI workflow is usually the one that makes your taste easier to apply consistently.

Design the workflow around review, not generation.
