Hey folks! Big news in the tech world — and no, it’s not your usual news about crypto market. We’re talking about a major AI upgrade that’s changing how websites and apps are designed.
Design software company Figma has launched a powerful new tool called Figma Make, and it’s all about something the industry is calling vibe-coding. Just type a short sentence describing your idea, and the AI turns it into actual code for a website or app.
Figma Make is Figma’s way of jumping into the rising wave of AI-powered design tools. It's kind of like ChatGPT but for websites. The tool is powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet from Anthropic.
Other tech giants like Google and Microsoft are already exploring vibe-coding tools. OpenAI is also making moves, reportedly talking to startups like Windsurf and Cursor.
Unlike similar tools such as Vercel’s v0 and StackBlitz’s Bolt.new, Figma Make understands and works with your existing design systems, including fonts, colors, and layouts stored in your Figma files.
Plus, it accepts existing design files as input and allows for quick edits with dropdowns or chat-based tweaks — no need to write code or wait on AI replies for simple changes.
Figma Make is currently in beta and only available to users with full-seat subscriptions, which start at $16/month when billed annually. There’s no free tier like many other AI tools offer.
Using the tool, early access users have built things like video games, note-taking apps, and personalized calendars. This isn't just for prototyping — it's production-ready design automation.
Figma also unveiled Figma Sites, which can convert your design into a fully functional website. AI-generated code support is coming soon too. These innovations are as exciting as major shifts in the news crypto market or blockchain NFT world.
Absolutely. Figma CEO Dylan Field says that AI is a tool, not a replacement. Designers will still be essential in shaping and refining creative ideas into impactful digital products.
