– Figma’s new premium feature will enable people to describe an idea for an app or website, or pick an existing design, and have an AI model create working code for it.
Design software startup Figma on Wednesday debuted an artificial intelligence feature to automate the process of building websites and applications.
The new feature, called Figma Make, is the company’s response to the rise of “vibe-coding” tools, which turn a short written description into the source code necessary for a website.
Google, Microsoft and OpenAI have also touted their own “vibe-coding” tools this year.
The move might draw additional business to Figma, which confidentially filed for an initial public offering last month.
Many of today’s “vibe-coding” products offer a free tier for light use before requesting payment. Figma Make will only be available to those with full seats that start at $16 per person per month when purchased annually.
Figma’s new tool relies on Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet AI model. Third-party products such as Vercel’s v0 and StackBlitz’s Bolt.new offer similar capability but can’t inherit existing design systems.
