AI-assisted coding transforms PDF to web app using NYS Design System

This is a compelling illustration of what becomes possible when a design system is structured well enough to be usable by both people and machines.

What’s exciting to me here is not “AI turned a PDF into an app” so much as what made that possible: components, tokens, utilities, and enough design-system clarity to give the model something useful to work with. That’s a big part of the story so many people miss. If your system is inconsistent, vague, or poorly documented, AI is just going to amplify that mess.
