Code Meets Animation: LottieFiles x The AI Collective
DesignAI & techProduct
AI can now turn a single sentence into a production-ready animation. That part is getting easy. The hard part is everything after: keeping motion consistent across a product, turning it into a system with tokens and rules, making sure it performs on every device, and actually shipping it. That gap is what Code Meets Animation is about, and it’s what we’re digging into for an evening in Taipei. The AI Collective Taipei is teaming up with LottieFiles for a night of conversation with local motion designers, a first look at new AI tools, a hands-on live challenge, and plenty of time to meet people building with motion and AI. Who this is for If you’re curious about AI and motion, you belong here.
