Do you bridge the gap with AI or still manually build components?

by

Quick question for frontend devs using tools like v0, Claude, or Cursor. When you get a new Figma design, what's your actual entry point now?

I used to start by setting up component state, props, and styling manually to keep things clean. Last week I tried just feeding screenshots and exported SVGs directly to the AI to spin up the UI instantly. It got me 80% there in 5 minutes, but the generated CSS was a messy soup of arbitrary Tailwind utility classes that took an hour to clean up. Curious how many of you are fully automating the UI handoff vs manually building the core markup first and then using AI for the logic.
