"Recently, Figma CEO Dylan Field assembled employees from throughout the company for a demo of a new-ish tool for generating, refining, and editing synthetic images and videos. Rather than being built around one-off prompts, it allowed users to create visual workflows for comparing and manipulating options created by different AI models. It also facilitated putting imagery through multiple rounds of polishing and remixing, adding a large dose of human taste and quality control to the process."
"The tool that wowed the Figmates, as Figma employees call themselves, was the creation of a Tel Aviv-based startup. Both were known as Weavy-but not for long. Figma had already agreed to acquire the company. Slightly rebranded as Figma Weave, its product will join Figma's growing portfolio of web-based apps for designing interfaces, whiteboarding ideas, creating presentations, AI-assisted coding, and more."
Figma acquired Tel Aviv startup Weavy and rebranded it Figma Weave, adding its generative image and video workflow tool to Figma's portfolio. The tool uses a node-based canvas to connect building blocks that route inputs and outputs across multiple AI models. Users can run several generators, compare outputs, select the best result, and perform iterative polishing and remixing to inject human taste and quality control. A demo mesmerized employees, extending from a scheduled 20 minutes to an hour. Around a dozen Weavy staff, including cofounders, will join Figma. Weavy was founded in 2024, raised $4 million in seed funding, and counted major customers.
