Figma introduced an AI agent embedded directly on its design canvas that understands native interfaces and team workflows to adjust layouts, apply design systems, and refine prototypes via chat prompts

Meet the Figma design agent, with @taamannae and @rodrigodavies

And it's here! So much love and effort went into this from many talented people. As the founding designer, I am excited for you all to meet the agent waiting for you on the Figma canvas. Try it out and let us know how we can make it even better!

$FIG just launched the Figma Design Agent, a dedicated agent that works alongside users in Figma.

The agent lives directly on the canvas, so you can prompt from any design layer, iterate and edit alongside the agent, and hand it boring tasks that would have otherwise taken up a lot of your time.

$FIG CEO @zoink came on the show today to discuss the launch. Here's our full conversation.

01:18 – Clocking AI-generated designs 03:31 – Figma’s new Design Agent 05:40 – AI code bloat and slop 09:09 – Using AI to augment creativity and branding 15:08 – Why Figma should be the front door to building apps in the AI era 18:53 – How design becomes more important as code commoditizes

An agent that's fluent in Figma and purpose-built for design. On the canvas, where your team works and design context lives... rolling out in beta starting today!

Built on Cloudflare!

The Figma agent is rolling out gradually over the coming weeks

i still use figma

@figma I am thrilled to have this feature finally available to Designers across the world: https://youtu.be/ZljQ6SYj8Rw I have been testing it in alpha and waiting for you all to see the brilliant tool and capabilities it brings. This is truly what designers need.

@figma the dream is alive

@tbpn The stock should be up a minimum of 75% because of this

$FIG

@figma This is great for ideation.

The next step feels like embracing tools like Codex. Let agents with context of the real design system translate any coded system directly into Figma, React, Angular, Web Components, doesn't matter.

Reuse systems, don't recreate them.

@benhylak if you don't i don't trust your product

@figma Designers before and after this release 🔥

@figma @zoink now build the briefcase

@figma Yesssss

@figma First “AI in design” drop in a while that doesn’t sound like a bolt-on. Does it actually respect components and variants, or just hallucinate pretty rectangles?

@zoink Now this is a feature I can fully stand by. Rather than compete with designers, The Figma AI Design Agent actually serves and assists us. Full walkthrough for Designers here: https://youtu.be/ZljQ6SYj8Rw.

@figma Figma credits need update if this is planned to be a daily used feature

@miketrilford @figma You can write directly to the canvas over MCP, but are you talking about more contextual knowledge stored in chats/conversations?
