Preparing Rocket for the AI era
summary
Rocket embeds Figma end-to-end and claims measurable impact: Nova design tokens map to live code, Figma Make prototypes feed research and one-click publish, and the Figma MCP annotates and verifies implementations with a Playwright visual/code compare. Scale metrics land the claim — 800,000 chats, 1.8 million texts, 160 million calls annually, a servicing book jump from 2M to 10M, shipping five times faster, and a reported $1 billion monthly origination lift in Q1 2026. Highlights: Nova design system, Figma MCP-driven code verification, Rocket Assist chat prototypes in Figma Make, semantic tokens to production.
