ycombinator · x · 2026-08-07

In an episode of Y Combinator's Design Review, Stephen Haney, founder of the AI-native design tool Paper, joined YC's Aaron Epstein to discuss how AI is transforming design workflows.

The episode featured live redesigns of user-submitted websites to demonstrate Paper's agent-first workflow. This innovative approach has made Paper one of the fastest-growing design tools since Figma, showing that AI is fundamentally changing how designers build, ship, and stand out, rather than just upgrading their toolset.
