What it is, in Figma’s terms

Figma describes collaborating with an agent to generate and remix designs, automate busywork and get design feedback. It became generally available on 6 October 2026, with file search and guidelines you can set for design libraries.

Craft guidance

Best for

Working within the design canvas
Modifying existing designs and bulk edits
Exploring directions quickly
Using your library's guidance

Not really for

Working prototypes with real behaviour
Decisions about what to build

When to use it

When the work is editing or extending designs in a file, especially repetitive changes.

Example workflow

Write guidelines for your library
Ask for a change or a direction
Review against the guidelines
Refine by hand

Key features, as Figma lists them

Generate and remix designs
Automate repetitive file work
Search for Figma files from a chat
Follow guidelines set on design libraries
Generative plugins and custom skills

What it overlaps with

Make also takes prompts, but produces code-backed prototypes. The agent works on design layers.

Latest important updates

FigmaAINow generally availableTool update

The Figma agent is generally available

What changed: The Figma agent has left beta. The release notes list improved latency, file search and configurable guidelines for design libraries.
Why it matters: An agent that reads library guidelines is only as consistent as those guidelines. Component documentation now shapes generated output, not just human use.
What to do: Review what usage guidance your libraries expose, and agree with your team where agent-made frames need a design review before handoff.

How to use it, and what to watch for

Use it for

Applying your library's guidelines to generated frames
Finding existing files and designs from a chat
Repetitive file work, such as renaming and tidying

Be careful with

Guidelines that are vague or missing: the agent can only follow what you wrote
Accepting generated frames without a design review

Try this workflowWrite two or three guidelines for one library, such as which button variant is primary. Ask the agent for a screen that uses it, then check each guideline was followed.
