Figma has added an AI agent that operates within its collaborative canvas, allowing users to generate and edit designs using natural language text prompts. The agent is first launching in Figma Design, with the company planning to make it available in its other products.

Users can direct the agent to generate new designs, edit existing designs, or automate tasks such as generating iterations of designs. Multiple agents can run simultaneously to perform different tasks. The AI assistant runs on AI models that are fine-tuned for design use and understands design contexts and elements.

"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," Figma's chief design officer Loredana Crisan said.

Over the last few months, Figma has partnered with Anthropic and OpenAI to integrate support for AI CLI tools such as Claude Code and Codex. The company said that over time it wants to integrate design and code more closely within its apps. Last year, it acquired the node-based design tool Weavy, and it has added new image-editing features to its products.

In the first quarter of 2026, Figma reported revenue of $333.4 million, 46% higher than a year earlier. The company competes with Canva, Adobe, Flora, Krea, and Dessn.
