AI for design: Figma launches a text-to-layout generator
Figma has launched an AI assistant in its collaborative canvas. The assistant generates new designs from text prompts, edits existing layouts and creates several project variants in one click. It works directly in the shared canvas where a team designs together. The AI is meant to save hours on routine work such as iterating and trying out options. The trend: AI tools are becoming part of designers' standard workflow.

Figma has added a built-in neural network for design that generates layouts from text descriptions and commands in its collaborative canvas, the platform where designers work together.
What AI design tool does Figma have?
Figma has added a built-in AI assistant that generates new designs from text commands and edits existing layouts, automatically taking into account the project's brand style, color palette, iconography and typography.
How do you use AI in Figma to create designs?
Type a text command to the AI assistant, for example "make a minimalist-style button, blue", and the assistant will create a variant consistent with your project's style.
How does Figma's AI work with a project's style?
The assistant sees the context of the whole project: brand style, color palette, iconography, typography and other brand book elements already in the file. Every variant the neural network creates matches the style and needs no further refinement.
What can the AI design tool in Figma do?
It generates new designs from text commands, edits existing layouts and automates the creation of iterations.

Can the AI in
Figma take a project's brand book into account? Yes. The assistant sees the context of the whole project and all the brand book elements already in the file, so every variant it creates matches the style and needs no further refinement.
