Figma’s recent AI work highlights design-system context, code connection and the cost of moving quickly without structure.
of product builders surveyed by Figma say AI skills are essential to their future success.
The Story
Figma’s AI coverage is increasingly focused on the connective tissue between design and production: design-system context, MCP, Code Connect and the risks of accumulating tech debt while moving quickly. ([figma.com](https://www.figma.com/blog/ai/))
