Original caption

Been eyeing taking my agent setup for a spin with @Framer They recently dropped their Server API beta, which was an immediate win for my CMS publishing pipeline: 1. Beehiiv newsletters → Framer 2. YouTube videos → Framer 3. Podcast episodes → Framer Instantly saved me about $3-400/mo. There's also an unofficial MCP plugin that I'm going to test as well. But I'm eagerly waiting for the next major announcement.

Transcript

So I've been running UX tools on Framer for years now. And I use their CMS for everything: newsletters, YouTube videos, podcast episodes, 100 plus design tools. It is a complete hub. But every time I publish a newsletter in my platform Beehiiv, someone has to go and copy and paste it over to Framer, the title, the thumbnails, the images, the tags, the whole thing. And there's multiple times a week. I'm paying hundreds of dollars a month for somebody to do that. Well, guess what? Framer just shipped a server API. It is in beta right now. And I decided to try something. So I had my AI agent hook into Beehiiv. And I've talked about this agent setup I have. It's on my YouTube. Go check it out. It's it's kind of wild. And it pulls the latest newsletter. It cleans up the formatting and it pushes it right into the CMS. So I just type one message in Slack and I have it showing up as a draft. So I can go in, I can add the header image, do some spot checking, and then publish it. This is taking me three seconds. It just saved me hundreds of dollars a month. I'm very serious about that. I'm going to put all of that right back into tokens. If you're a designer paying attention to the tools doing some genuinely interesting things, pay attention to Framer. They've got something coming.
