Figma, a premier platform for collaborative interface design, has introduced an innovative AI feature aimed at streamlining the process.

Referred to as “vibe coding,” this novel method enables users to streamline design processes through automation while adopting established design frameworks, distinguishing itself from external tools such as Vercel’s v0 and StackBlitz’s Bolt.new.
In a blog post, Dylan Field, who is both the co-founder and CEO of Figma, unveiled the new feature. This announcement was made during an energetic fireside chat.

Alongside Garry Tan, President and CEO of Y Combinator, Figma has now established itself as a key player in the realm of AI-driven design tools. This innovative AI-enhanced feature provides substantial productivity improvements for both designers and developers.
The Increasing Importance of Designers in Software Development
Field further underscored the role that designers are increasingly playing in the changing landscape of software development. He stated, “The more time has gone on, the more that I’m confident in a designer’s role — and believe that it’s going to be one of the critical roles in building software in the future.”
In the upcoming weeks, Figma intends to introduce its AI-driven code generation features, facilitating smooth incorporation into current work processes. This addition will simplify the initiation process and speed up development timelines, enabling users to create more sophisticated projects with minimal programming expertise.
In addition to the recently introduced AI functionality, Figma is currently testing “Figma Sites,” an option available exclusively to those with complete licenses. This enhancement broadens the range of features offered to users. As always, it upholds Figma’s reputation for top-notch design and user experience.
That’s one reason the tech industry is rushing to implement AI solutions. Figma’s effort really stands out because of its commitment to user experience and design integrity. Almost all of the current “vibe-coding” tools discussed below have a free/low-cost tier of use before you start needing to pay for heavier use. Figma’s approach supports this trend and helps users get the most out of their design systems already in place.
These functionalities are introduced as significant strides from other key competitors that are currently being shaped and refined. Discussions for acquisitions have taken place with firms like Windsurf, along with overtures made to Cursor.
