Are you ready to see how AI and Figma are completely changing the game for Power Platform developers? In this episode of the M365.FM podcast, we sit down with Microsoft MVP with Lukas Pavelka to discuss the future of Vibe coding, custom Figma plugins, and building efficient design systems. Lukas shares his journey from being a Java developer to creating tools that bridge the gap between design and functional apps.

We dive deep into the world of Figma plugins, specifically focusing on tools for Power Apps and Power BI that help save hours of manual work. Lukas explains the concept of Vibe coding and why having a strong developer background is still essential even when using AI agents. We also explore the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how the landscape of AI models like Claude and GPT is shifting for modern creators.

Whether you are an enterprise developer or a low-code maker, this conversation covers the practical side of using AI for UI/UX, managing token costs, and ensuring your code remains secure in the age of automation. Lukas also gives us a sneak peek into his upcoming projects focused on prompt engineering and advanced bot administration.
