Evidence AddedView practice →Figma offers FigJam AI, a set of AI tools within its collaborative whiteboard product FigJam that generates meeting templates and diagrams from text prompts, sorts sticky notes into thematic groups, and summarizes brainstorm content. These features launched in November 2023.
FigJam AI generates meeting boards, flow charts, Gantt charts, org charts, and mind maps from natural language prompts. It can sort a large set of sticky notes into thematic categories and produce a text summary of brainstorm content. The tool uses the OpenAI API for language tasks; Figma's agreement with OpenAI specifies that data is not used for model training. FigJam AI is available to paid-plan users with a Full, Dev, or Collab seat. Figma has since expanded FigJam AI via its MCP server, adding the ability for AI coding agents to generate architecture diagrams and entity-relationship diagrams directly in FigJam boards; these capabilities are live and available in MCP-supported clients.

Figma offers Figma Buzz, a tool for brand and marketing teams to create on-brand visual assets at scale using AI-assisted image generation, text editing, and bulk creation from spreadsheet data. It launched in open beta at Config 2025 in May 2025 and is available on all plans.
Figma Buzz lets designers create locked brand templates that marketers can then customize within defined constraints, ensuring brand consistency. AI features within Buzz include image generation powered by OpenAI's gpt-image-1, Google Imagen 3, or Titan v2, background removal, and text rewriting tools including tone adjustment, translation, and shortening. The bulk create feature lets users upload a spreadsheet and automatically generate thousands of asset variations. As of open beta, Figma Buzz is available on all seat types and plans; AI tools require at least a paid Collab seat.

The tool became generally available on July 24, 2025, though publishing of Make files remained in beta at that time, with full publishing and sharing capabilities varying by plan and seat type.
Figma Make was introduced at Config 2025 in May 2025 and moved out of beta on July 24, 2025. Users type a description of an app or interface, and the AI generates a working, interactive prototype with React-based code underneath. The tool accepts prompts, existing Figma design files, or sketches as input. Full-seat paid users can publish or share their Make files; starter plan users can create files in drafts and share up to three. A backend database integration with Supabase is also available for richer prototypes.
