About Figma
Figma is layering AI deeper into Make and Draw while smoothing out the desktop experience.
The most recent stretch is split between AI-feature enrichment and UX polish. Figma Make added voice-to-text input and question cards for more conversational control while building. The AI image flow (Make Image, Edit Image) gained richer reference handling. Draw consolidated more tools into the same mode so designers stop bouncing between contexts. The desktop app picked up faster file transitions — links open in place, recent work is searchable, the next file pre-loads.
