How Figma Uses AI to Support, Not Replace, the Designer
"Figma has integrated AI across its design platform, allowing non-technical staff to create prototypes in hours. The system produces code sufficient for engineers' production needs."
"The AI features stem from a philosophy of AI as a co-pilot, ensuring designers retain control over every editable AI-generated element."
"Figma's Dev Mode reduces the friction between design and development by providing structured data. The Model Code Prototypes server generates frontend code, streamlining the design-to-code pipeline."
"Figma Make enables rapid prototyping, allowing users to create interactive applications efficiently, demonstrated by a staffer who built a game from HR data in two hours."
Figma has integrated advanced AI tools throughout its design platform, enabling users to generate production-ready code from a variety of inputs quickly. By utilizing features like Figma Make, non-technical users can create prototypes in hours. These features developed from a pre-existing design-to-code infrastructure, incorporating Dev Mode and Model Code Prototypes to streamline the transition from design to working code. As a result, companies can rapidly create applications, with some unexpected outcomes like a game created by an HR staffer becoming part of onboarding.
