Figma Ships a Canvas-Native AI Design Agent

Figma's new agent works directly on the canvas via the MCP server's use_figma tool, not just in a chat window. It can remix styles, generate screens, and make bulk edits using your actual design system.

Figma's new canvas-native agent (built on the MCP server's use_figma tool) can generate screens, remix your existing styles, and make bulk edits directly on the canvas — not just spit out code in a sidebar. It reads your file's real structure, components, and 'skills' (context you give it about team decisions), so output is meant to match your design system rather than generic AI output. It's brand new, so treat early results with a critical eye — check spacing, token usage, and accessibility by hand before shipping anything it produces.
