Is there a way I can tell figma what to do in natural language?
Bring that layer up, move this box, etc

Theoretically that's what the Figma agent is for, but I'll be honest in that it released after I left and I haven't tried it enough to tell whether or not it's effective.

Had launched this plugin earlier this year to do exactly that: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1589249271423490087/b...

I love that Bladerunner scene and often show it to people when explaining how I work with AI.
At the same time I mention that the "I am not a Robot" widget on some websites is the same as a Voight-Kampff-test

I'm doing this via claude desktop actually. A bit weird that claude uses html for that mainly, but it works well.

Canva designers tend to overcook everything, they lack taste. Easy win for Figma in the long run. That said, the open source Artcraft suite of apps (Figcraft is one of them) have a headless command layer that maps 1:1 to the UI, you can run the entire suite headless on a VPS and use your existing AI subs..

We're going to push this to feature and UI/UX parity, spin up an open source Raft/Paxos collaboration server, and connect it with open source cloud and local compute.
Same thing for Canva.
It's not so much that I'm spearheading it. The community is jumping onto this motion quickly.

Ah, of course all the UI designs in figma belong to figma. Why would anyone think anything else?
For context, this blog was released the same day Canva made their announcement for Brush, which looks to be further along in this area: https://www.canva.com/newsroom/news/canva-brush/
I'm glad Figma is pushing in this area. I do think that Figma has one of the best UI datasets out there in the world, and for the most part they've been sitting on it letting it get unused. Excited to see where they take this, but I do think they should be looking at image models in addition to LLM-based edit models (I'm biased as I left figma to start a image-mode-based UI design tool) as I find they're more capable in this area.
