CyberAgent Defines AIX Designer Role, Aims for Full Development Automation by 2028
The new role moves designers from producing screens to participating in AI-driven development loops, applying CyberAgent's 2028 full-automation goal to the design domain.
Reporting from 1 source: KAI-YOU.
CyberAgent has defined a new AI-era profession, the AIX (AI eXperience) Designer, and established the AIX Design Office to train and evaluate designers in this role. The company says some development organizations have seen development volume approximately double and the game division's mock production volume approximately triple. The initiative extends CyberAgent's stated goal of fully automating its development processes by 2028 to the design domain.
CyberAgent announced the AIX Designer role on Friday, August 21, alongside a new specialized organization, the AIX Design Office, which handles training and proficiency evaluation for the role. The company describes an AIX Designer not as someone who merely uses generative AI to streamline production, but as a participant in AI-driven development who discovers business challenges, designs user experiences, and implements working products.
The move responds to a shift in software development where planning, implementation, verification, and improvement happen in short cycles in collaboration with AI. CyberAgent says the traditional split, where designers create screens and engineers build them, no longer fits that loop. The first cohort is a hands-on program of about one month for designers selected from within the company, covering AI agent development processes and engineering basics.
