# Where do Figma, Storybook and the documentation platforms fit?

They are where a lot of the AI surface actually lives, which is why 5 of them are in the
study: [Figma](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/platforms/figma.md), [Storybook](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/platforms/storybook.md), [Supernova.io](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/platforms/supernova.md), [Knapsack.cloud](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/platforms/knapsack.md), [zeroheight](https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/platforms/zeroheight.md).

Of the 19 design systems, 19 carry a Figma integration record and
14 carry a Storybook one. That matters when you are auditing a system: the
affordance you are looking for may not be in its repo at all. Some systems' agent tooling ships
inside a vendor CLI or a docs platform, invisible from the design system's own GitHub. See the
“Where the affordances live” entry under divergence at https://state-of-ai-in-design-systems.netlify.app/insights.md.
