In this video, I explore how that vision shows up in their AI experience, their component libraries, and the instructions they give coding agents. I share what I like, where I found gaps, and what product teams can take from their approach.
The part I’m especially excited about is their frontend guide: it tells AI where to find existing components, when to reuse them, and how to follow the product’s design rules. It’s a concrete example of the context we can give agents to help them build something that feels like our product.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
- How PostHog’s vision for 2030 changes the role of UI and human decision-making.
- Where generative UI fits into a product built around AI agents.
- How Lemon UI and Quill approach component organization in Storybook.
- Where clearer guidance could help teams design AI interactions.
- How PostHog’s AGENTS.md directs agents to reuse existing components.
- What their UI component skill teaches us about documenting product-specific rules.
As agents take on more of the work, we need to make our design decisions easier for them to understand and apply. PostHog’s approach offers concrete ideas for documenting that context in our own products.
