In recent coverage it appears mainly as a demo target for AI coding: a developer said Opus 5.5 produced a fully working Figma clone in about three hours with eight prompts, and single prompts later generated clones of Google Meet, Docs, Telegram and Linear. Separately, Microsoft reported disrupting the EvilTokens scam platform, which used an AI chatbot to analyze victim inboxes and draft fraud emails.
