Figma AI is a series of native artificial intelligence design tools launched by the online design and collaboration platform Figma, offering innovative features such as visual search, AI-enhanced asset search, and automatic text and image generation, helping designers break through creative blocks and improve work efficiency. These tools can understand the semantics of design elements, quickly locate the required resources, generate realistic copy and images, and simplifyprototypingprocesses, and automatically rename layers, allowing designers to focus on more valuable creative and problem-solving work. Currently, Figma AI is in public beta, and all users can try it for free.

Content filling: Provides text suggestions and content filling features in the design canvas and FigJam whiteboard.
-
- Figma Make: From prompts to functional prototypes
-
Natural language generation: Generates fully functional prototypes through natural language prompts or existing designs, maintaining design intent and accuracy.
-
Precise iteration: Allows users to make precise modifications by highlighting specific parts of the prototype.
-
- Figma Buzz: Brand asset mass production engine
-
One-click template publishing: Copies design boards to Buzz, sets brand lock areas, and ensures visual consistency.
-
Batch creation: Imports spreadsheet data and generates thousands of brand assets at once.
-
AI acceleration: Built-in image generation, background removal, copy rewriting, and other features to support batch creation.
-
- Collaborative workflow upgrade: Supports real-time collaboration for 200 people, improved stability, and built-in version comparison and approval workflows. Supports hardware keys, strengthens audit logs, and updates compliance certifications.
- Design system enhancement: Supports variable-driven dynamic components and cross-project asset sharing. In Dev Mode, intelligently generates code snippets and automatically syncs design tokens.
- Visual Search: By uploading images, selecting a canvas area, or entering a text query, Figma can instantly display visually similar designs in team files, allowing users to directly insert the most relevant frame into the working file.
- AI-Enhanced Asset Search: Figma uses artificial intelligence to understand the semantic meaning and context of search queries, returning the most relevant components and assets even when search terms do not exactly match component names.
- AI-Powered Text Tools: Simplifies the copy iteration process and helps designers quickly find the right wording.
- Content Generation Tools: Quickly fill designs with relevant, realistic content, making prototypes more engaging and effectively communicating the design vision.
- Background Removal: Allows users to remove image backgrounds without leaving the canvas, quickly isolating subjects and creating striking visual effects.
- Rapid Prototyping: By clicking "Make Prototype," static mockups are quickly transformed into interactive prototypes, simplifying the process of bringing ideas to life and gaining stakeholder support.
- Automatic Layer Renaming: A seemingly small feature, yet it can save designers a great deal of time on monotonous work and help keep files organized and development-ready.
- Generate Designs from Text Prompts: Describe what you need, and Figma AI will provide a first draft, helping designers quickly capture ideas and explore different design directions.
Figma AI Application Scenarios
