Figma Launches AI Agent for Collaborative Design
Figma has introduced a new AI agent that operates within its collaborative canvas, allowing users to generate and edit designs, automate tasks, and run multiple agents simultaneously using natural language prompts. The agent is powered by AI models fine-tuned for design contexts. It first launches in Figma Design, with plans to expand to other products. The company has partnered with OpenAI and Anthropic to integrate AI CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex. Figma faces competition from Canva, Adobe, Flora, Krea, and Dessn, and recently acquired Weavy. Despite concerns about AI replacing designers, Figma reported Q1 2026 revenue of $333.4 million, up 46% year-over-year.
