Is there a way to test it? Curious to see if it's directly embedded in ChatGPT with an add-on on top of it or it's something outside of it?

Fully agree at 100%, this is exactly what we did at Lago, use Material UI as a library, customised the CSS to make Lago-branding friendly. In that case we're not reinventing the wheel, we're using it and it helped us to go faster. I think it's just a matter of definition and our System is way far from ones you can see at Adobe, Shopify etc.

Goal is to go fast and having this base, this language between Front and Design is important to have sooner than later.

Of course it depends on the context of a company, the ressource you have internally, the seniority of the team …

If you're chasing PMF, a design system will not help you to find it directly, but it can help you to deliver features faster, try things and to not be afraid to throw it away.

In a way, indirectly, it's helping to move forward quickly which is really helpful when you're chasing PMF.

I think it's never too late to implement a design system, interesting fact is the more you're waiting the more work you'll have to do 'cause you'll have to deal with more migration. At least one way to tackle it is to start with the foundation like a visual language systemised.

Never thought that it can take at least 4% of a company revenue

It's a good move to do! Giving visibility on what we're building and allow engineers to custom and participate on Lago's logic gives so much flexibility.
