Figma, the leading design and prototyping platform, introduced its new AI-powered tools at its annual Config 2026 conference, set to shape the future of design and coding. These innovations aim to make designers' and developers' workflows more efficient and creative.

Among the announced features are tools that allow users to create animated graphics and "shaders" by entering text commands into a chatbot interface. This will enable much faster prototyping and development of complex visual effects and dynamic UI elements.

Figma's AI integrations have the potential to automate the design process, reduce repetitive tasks, and boost creativity. This strategic move by the platform could help solidify its leading position in the design software market and redefine industry standards.
