Figma adds code layers, support for animations, more AI features in new update
Figma's latest update introduces code layers, direct animation support, and expanded AI capabilities to streamline collaboration between designers and engineers.Summary
Figma has unveiled a major update featuring code layers that allow teams to clone repositories and extract flows directly onto the canvas, facilitating easier iteration without the pressure of production-ready code. The platform now supports native animations, transitions, and 3D transforms, eliminating the need for external animation software. Additionally, Figma is enhancing its AI capabilities by enabling users to create custom plugins, generate shader effects, and build reusable AI agent skills. Integration with tools like GitHub, Notion, and Excel further expands the AI's contextual awareness, while a deeper connection with the recently acquired tool Weavy will soon allow users to generate complex workflows directly within the Figma interface.
