Since announcing the acquisition over a year ago now, we’ve talked a lot about what the future could look like, but we haven’t shown it.
So, we came together with
@scottbelsky
and the
@adobe
team to imagine “what if ...”
We wanted to share some of our ideas with you.

How should we think about moving work forward in a work-in-progress world?
We spend a lot of time at
@figma
thinking about this reality, how to navigate it, and how to build for it.
So I wanted to share my thoughts and a few tips

At Figma, we think AI should be more than a novelty—it should offer solutions to real problems.
Today, we're launching FigJam AI to solve the hard parts of collaboration: the prep work to run a great meeting, and turning that discussion into next steps.

Today at

’s new whiteboarding space, which is just so much fun to use. It’s now in beta and free for everyone this year! Here’s a bit about why we built our second product:

What if you could take a working prototype of your app and drop it directly into your launch video? If you’re like us, you make changes to the product until the very last minute …so having these auto update in the video is a game changer!

When we built FigJam, we took a lot of inspiration from our community and how they were using our product in unexpected ways. Here's how

私個人としては、PS, AI, ID等のAdobeツールを昔から使ってきました。Adobeがこれまで蓄積してきた知見やデザインの専門性が、Figmaが築き上げたWebファーストなコラボレーション・プラットフォームと両輪で走り始めることで、どのような可能性があるのか、考えが広がるばかりです。

What if Firefly worked seamlessly with your design process in Figma? Imagine generating new backgrounds for assets that match the vibe of the UI, or using generative fill to extend the image to fit perfectly into responsive designs, and having it all…work.

In a WIP world, it can be hard to make sure key feedback is heard and prioritized.

Don't ask: "How can I add AI?"
Instead ask: "How can AI make this better."
Take running a meeting:
During a brainstorming meeting, it sucks to...
- Create a brainstorming template from scratch
- Group 100+ virtual sticky notes manually
That's why

built their first gen…

Be less precious about the work that ships—and invite your users to be a part of that journey!
It means some imperfect launches. But customers aren’t judging our products based on that singular moment. (4/)

@ArcInternet
shared a video where i asked for feedback on a work-in-progress design. 100+ folks replied, sharing mocks, prototypes, and critical feedback. i could not be more thankful for so many ppl caring enough about what we’re building to take that time. thank you 🙏

Review work at a predictable cadence vs waiting for the “perfect moment,” because (spoiler) it doesn’t exist.
This will keep stakeholders updated and avoid surprises when you’re ready to ship (2/)

My mind is racing with all the possibilities for how Adobe’s decades of learnings and design expertise can work in tandem with the web-first, collaborative platform we’ve built here at Figma. It’s pretty exciting to think about what we could dream up together.
