🪄 Rive opens its "AI Agent" to all users
Rive just made its AI Agent free for everyone, with upgrades that make it faster, cheaper, and smarter at the same time.
The Rive AI Agent is a built-in coding assistant that turns plain-English prompts into working interactivity.
You describe what you want, and it writes the underlying scripts and state machines for you, so designers can build interactive behavior without touching code.
The update adds:
Ask mode for asking questions about your project.
More efficient models that cost less to run.
Better Rive Docs integration built into the agent.

📊 Contra releases the "Human Creativity Benchmark"
Contra just dropped the Human Creativity Benchmark, the first AI evaluation that scores models the way working creatives actually do, judging real ideation, mockup, and refinement work through the eyes of professional designers.
The headline finding: No single model wins everything. Claude leads on ideation, Gemini leads on design systems, and GPT closes hardest in refinement.
The benchmark also surfaced two distinct signals in the data:
Convergence (where evaluators agree): prompt adherence, typography, CTA placement. This is teachable.
Divergence (where they disagree): mood and conceptual risk. This is taste, and it's still human.
📰 Other news you might've missed:
Figma added voice-to-text prompts, version history, question cards, and "Clear Context" to Figma Make.
Figma Weave rolled out a new round of "Delights": Unpack Nodes, Create Iterators, and Shift+Delete to remove a node without breaking the flow.
Claude opened "Claude Security" to public beta for Enterprise customers, scanning codebases for vulnerabilities and suggesting patches you can review and approve.

How Jennifer Aniston’s LolaVie brand grew sales 40% with CTV ads
