Figma just dropped something big. And no, it’s not just another design tweak. We’re talking proper AI tools that can sketch, mock, write, and build — all inside your design app. If you’re into design or development, this one’s worth a proper look.
The company, now under Adobe’s wing, has launched a fresh suite of AI-powered tools that could change the way websites, apps, and even pitch decks are built. This update isn’t just smart. It’s like Figma’s been training at a design boot camp and now it’s ready to do your heavy lifting.
Let’s break it down.
Meet Figma’s new AI toolkit
At the centre of it all is something called Figma Make. It’s a premium set of features powered by AI that lets you build full-on designs just by typing what you want. Say something like “Make a landing page for a bakery app” and boom, Figma starts laying it out for you.
This is paired with Figma Vibe, which is designed to help you stay on-brand. It can match a style, colour palette, font choices, and keep the whole look consistent across your work. No more flipping between 12 tabs to check your brand guide.
The idea is simple. These tools don’t just suggest. They actually create. Wireframes, mockups, content blocks, design systems — all with just a few clicks or prompts.
Buzz, Draw, Make
Alongside Make and Vibe, Figma also showed off Buzz and Draw. Buzz helps turn your rough thoughts into clearer content. Whether it’s writing copy for an app page or editing UI text, Buzz helps tighten your words without needing to leave the design screen.
Draw, on the other hand, takes your scribbles and shapes them into usable components. Think of it as whiteboard meets auto-correct for visuals.
And all this comes with tight integration, meaning you don’t need five different tools open while you’re in the flow.
What’s the catch?
For now, most of these features are part of Figma’s premium offerings, so you’ll need to pay if you want to access the full power. But a limited free trial is rolling out soon. Figma hasn’t locked down all the pricing details yet, but they’re opening it up gradually to testers and teams.
It’s not trying to replace designers, by the way. The company says this is more about speed and ideation. Basically, it helps you start faster, so you can get to the fun stuff sooner.
So what’s the big deal?
If you’ve ever stared at a blank canvas wondering where to begin, this is like a creative jumpstart. Instead of spending hours on first drafts or finding inspiration, Figma can throw something together and let you tweak it.
That’s good news for solo builders, startups, marketers and even big teams who just want to speed things up.
This isn’t the kind of AI that takes over your work. It’s the kind that helps you get started, move faster, and keep everything tidy along the way.
Figma’s turning into more than just a design tool. With this update, it’s shaping up to be your creative co-pilot.
