AI x Design Copenhagen – Cursor In Practice (Deep Dive): From Figma To Working Website - Making Interfaces Actually Behave
It’s never been easier to generate an interface and still surprisingly hard to make one behave properly. This session sits exactly in that tension. We’ll take a real Figma design and use Cursor to turn it into a working website - not as a demo, but as a hands-on session where you’ll work through it yourself. Where it’s smooth, you’ll feel it. Where it’s messy, you’ll understand why.
✅ You'll need:
• A laptop (fully charged)
• Cursor installed
• A Cursor account (free/hobby is fine)
• A Figma account (free is fine)
If you arrive without setup, you won’t get much out of the session 😭😭😭.
🧩 Light Pre-Work:
👉 There will be light pre-work shared ahead of time - keep an eye on your e-mail closer to the workshop.
This is so we can spend the session building, not troubleshooting.
Expect:
• Access to the Figma file
• Basic setup checks for Cursor
• A short orientation to the workflow
Completing this will make a noticeable difference.
🤓 Who This Is For?
• Designers who want to close the gap between intent and implementation
• Developers exploring AI-assisted workflows
• Anyone interested in how design actually becomes software
You don’t need to be an expert.
You do need to be ready to engage.
🗒️ Notes
Places are limited to keep this practical and interactive.
This is not a polished walkthrough.
It’s a facilitated working session, and part of the value is seeing how things behave in practice.
