#173 Quarterly: Claude Motion, Figma Agents, and Why I Moved My Business Into Claude Code

Let's start with the first one and this is Cloud Motion for me.

Androfic launched Cloud Motion in beta on 8th of October and together with something called Cloud Dashboard.

I think Claude is, and Entropic in general, I think this is very impressive.

They're working on lots of amazing updates.

I think how we as designers can really use this.

So the idea is pretty simple.

You give Claude your text, your numbers, maybe a chart, and you get back a short animated piece.

And the kind of thing you would put in a board update or a team meeting.

And here's the part that I find really interesting.

There is no video model underneath it.

Claude writes code that animates your text and your shapes and your images, which means that if a number changes the night before, you just change the number and you don't have to redo the whole thing in After Effects, for example.

Right now, it's only on the Team and Enterprise plans, so you can't open it yourself, probably, although you have a Team or Enterprise account.

If you are on Pro and Max, you can't either.

But to be honest, you also don't have to wait for it because the same idea already works in Cloud Code today.

You can edit your Instagram Reels with it.

You can build really beautiful 3D animations with something called 3JS, which is basically the code library for 3D on the web.

You just describe what you want and Cloud writes it for you.

And this is also something that I would really recommend you to try out.

Open your Cloud app, switch to Cloud Code and then ask, for example, for build me a 15 seconds explainer video about how mcp servers work use 3js and a 3d style try it out and then tell me tell me tell me what you get i think the results are very very impressive What does it actually mean for us? I think it means that motion stops being this separate craft that you hand off to somebody else and it starts behaving more like a part of the layout, something that you can edit and change and fix whenever you want.

And it's actually pretty easy.

So I would highly recommend to try it out because it's super simple and the results are very impressive.
