Figma’s AI Leap: From Design to Code

14/05/2025

Figma’s new AI-powered tools — Make and Sites — are blurring the lines between design and development, turning wireframes into working code with a single prompt. As “vibe-coding” gains traction, GlenFlow sees this as further proof that AI is reshaping how we build, not just what we build. Key takeaways:

🎨 Beyond Mockups – Figma Make converts text prompts (“build a note-taking app”) or existing designs into functional code, powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3.7. Early adopters have generated games, calendars, and more—all inheriting company design systems.

🚀 Enterprise-First AI – Unlike free-tier vibe-coding tools (Cursor, Windsurf), Figma’s AI is gated for paid seats ($16+/user), targeting teams with established design workflows.

🌐 Figma Sites – Forthcoming feature turns designs into live websites, with AI code generation coming soon.

Dylan Field’s vision of designers as “critical” to AI-augmented workflows aligns with GlenFlow’s belief in hybrid creativity, where AI handles execution, but human intuition drives innovation. Figma’s move cements AI as the bridge between imagination and implementation.
