Welcome to ✨ Use AI in your design workflow ✨!
This collection offers ideas, hands-on examples, and best practices for using AI across a selection of design workflows.
How design workflows are evolving
AI is changing the boundaries of the traditional design process.
Today, designers can work with AI to participate more directly across the product development cycle. And it goes both ways: developers, product managers, and even AI agents are now joining the design process too—jumping in to shape experiences at a higher level of fidelity than ever before.
As a result, a designer's work can now start from anywhere, whether that's starting from a blank canvas or working from existing context found in designs, prototypes, and code.
And as more people—and agents—contribute to the design process, it’s more important than ever for designers to create the systems, workflows, and shared context that turn those contributions into a cohesive product.
With that in mind, this collection is built on the belief that your work matters more than ever. Getting from a starting point to something worth shipping, something with craft and a point of view, takes judgment only you can apply.
We hope these articles help you use AI to push your craft forward: exploring more ideas, choosing the right ones, and taking them further than before.
What this collection covers
Figma is built to support these broader workflows, from exploration and prototyping all the way to implementation.
This collection focuses on one angle: how to work with AI to do your best work on the canvas, and how to build the systems that help others do their best work, too.
We’ll cover:
- Using Figma's agent to explore ideas, prototype concepts, and move design work forward.
- Bringing in imagery, motion, and visual expression with AI-powered creative tools.
- Creating systems, skills, and tools that help you and others do their best work.
Tip: You can also check out the Figma MCP collection to learn all about MCP, the Figma MCP server, and best practices that set teams up for success when working between code and the canvas.
How to use this collection
You don't need to read this collection in order. Instead, find the parts that feel like the biggest opportunities for you in your current design process.
You might focus on the parts of your workflow that feel most like a chore, with time you'd rather spend elsewhere. Or you might explore the parts that let you extend your existing workflow into new and exciting areas. Either way, think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure guide.
Note: If you have feedback on any part of this collection, please drop us a comment using the Was this article helpful? controls at the bottom of each article.
Who can use AI features in Figma?
AI features mentioned in this collection generally require a Full seat on a paid plan. Users with View, Collab, or Dev seats can try AI features in Draft files.
If you’re on a paid plan but don’t see any AI features in your account, an admin may have disabled them.
