Figma Integrates AI Assistant into Collaborative Design Canvas

["Figma, a leading design software company, has been making significant strides in incorporating artificial intelligence into its products. Over the past few months, the company has partnered with OpenAI and Anthropic to integrate support for AI CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex. This allows users to utilize these coding environments alongside Figma's design software.

Now, the company is taking its AI capabilities to the next level with the introduction of its own AI agent that operates within its collaborative canvas.", 'The new AI agent enables users to employ natural language text prompts to direct it to generate new designs, edit existing ones, or automate tasks such as generating iterations of existing designs. Users can even run multiple agents simultaneously, performing various tasks. According to Figma, the AI assistant understands design contexts and elements because it runs on AI models fine-tuned specifically for design use.', "Figma's chief design officer, Loredana Crisan, highlighted the benefits of the AI agent, stating: 'As building software gets easier, what matters most is setting direction: deciding what to work on, how it should function, what the experience should feel like.

Teams can now collaborate with agents on the multiplayer canvas to test out ideas, visualize edge cases, and refine concepts together without over-indexing on the more tedious parts.'", 'The AI agent is initially launching in Figma Design, with plans to expand its availability to other Figma products in the future. The company aims to bring design and code even closer together within its apps. This move comes as Figma faces intense competition from the likes of Canva, Adobe, Flora, Krea, and Dessn.

Last year, Figma acquired the node-based design tool Weavy and added new image editing features to its products.', "Despite concerns that AI might replace designers and impact demand for Figma's software, the company has reported strong revenue growth. In the first quarter of 2026, Figma's revenue reached $333.4 million, a 46% increase from the same period the previous year. With its latest AI-powered agent, Figma is poised to further solidify its position in the design software market."]
