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.

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 #Config2021, we announced the launch of FigJam, @figmadesign’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:

Storytelling is how I approach everything, from building products to my own career. I dove into this topic with @EO__Global as I reflected on my journey as a PM and what I’ve learned trying to build products that people love @Figma:

Figmaのブランドは変わらず残ります。皆さんにとっても何も変化はありません。これまでと同じように日本、そして日本のFigma Communityに対して継続してコミットします（日本の皆さん向けにどうしたらより良いプロダクトにできるのか、Adobeから教えてもらうのも良いかもしれません！）。.

6/ Figma Prototypes + After Effects. 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!

Here's a peek into how we run our product process @figmadesign. I'm hoping some of you might find it helpful, especially during times like now where keeping everyone on the same page is so hard, yet so important.
Keep your entire company up-to-date on the product roadmap with this doc from @figmadesign's VP of Product, @yuhkiyam. #yearofthemaker.

私達のミッションは、「全ての人がデザインにアクセスできるようにする」ということです。設立から10年が経ちましたが、その道のりはまだ始まったばかりです。Adobeと共に歩むことで、私達はそのミッションをより早く実現することが可能と考えています。.

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 @figmadesign brought offline processes like brainstorms & retros to an online format—all while making them feel human.

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。.

2/ Firefly + FigJam. What if we could go from stickies to storyboard in an instant? Today, reading user journeys can be dry and requires so much imagination; tomorrow, everyone is going to want to participate and riff on them!

This year at Config, I’ll share the stage with.@shishirmehrotra of @coda_hq. In our talk, Rituals of Modern Product Teams, we’ll share why building great teams starts by creating shared rituals. What’s your fave ritual? I might include it in the keynote!

Had so much fun watching Japanese designers at #DesignMattersTokyo build "trash dinosaurs" together in @figmadesign. Special thanks to the design team @asana for inventing this incredible collaborative game.
During his workshop, @yuhkiyam - VP of product at @figmadesign - asked participants to set their creativity free and draw dinosaurs! Here are some cool examples 🤓 #DesignMattersTokyo

3/ Linked Assets. What if our worlds were all connected? We could take an asset created in Adobe Substance 3D, place it in a product mockup in Figma, and the linked asset stays up to date.

5/ Firefly + Figma. 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.

I really shouldn’t pick favorites, but this redesign of comments might be my favorite improvement to @figmadesign in recent memory. I've been using this for a while now, and comments now are truly much easier to use and impossible to miss!

Today @figma dropped the lineup for #Config2023! I can't wait to show you what our team has been working on this past year. This year's Config is IRL, and it's for entire product teams, not just designers. Register to join us and hope to see you there!
The Config lineup is LIVE. 75+ speakers. 50+ sessions. 2 days. Join us June 21 & 22 🥳.

7/ Theme Editor. What if your assets in Adobe and product designs in Figma shared a design system with color palettes, fonts, and more? And you could make changes to all of these with just a click of a button?. Oh, and imagine all the Adobe fonts in Figma!

Was fun to welcome @alexheath to #Config2023 so he could experience the magic of Figma's community IRL. You can read more about it, and why he called Config the "Coachella for Designers," in his latest edition of Command Line for @TheVerge.
In this week’s newsletter: What’s next for the Musk v. Zuck cage match, and Meta is planning to release its Twitter competitor next month (plus more details on how it will work). Also: a chat with Figma CPO @yuhkiyam about this year’s Config conference

I love Config because it showcases @figma's yearly evolution: 2020 was our first user conference; '21 ushered in a new product; '22 promises long-awaited features & is fully global—I'll be at the Japan watch party, so stop by #Config2022 to say hi!

In a WIP world, it can be hard to make sure key feedback is heard and prioritized. I love @hubspot’s solve for this– a hashtag they put at the end of their feedback to indicate how much they’re willing to die on the hill for it. H/T to @shishirmehrotra for sharing this. (3/)

4/ Multiplayer in Adobe. What if the magic of multiplayer could come to life in Adobe’s apps? For example, imagine it in 3D design – one designer working on the model while the other adjusts lighting or texture.

Had a great time talking shop with @petergyang. Thanks, Peter, for having me!.
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 @figma built their first gen

I’m speaking at @WebSummit next week on the topic of design in theory vs practice, and navigating an “always work-in-progress” world. I’m also meeting some Friends of @figma Lisbon members while I’m there. If you’re in town, I’d love to connect!

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/) .
earlier @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.

@luiskamino Thanks @luiskamino for pointing these problems out. We're working with the team to get these fixed, as these all look like regressions. Definitely not the intent to rush out experiences that don't meet the bar, so we'll be retro'ing this one. Appreciate you keeping us honest.

@FinalDesign_2 @figma @jsngr -- looks like a user in Japan is experiencing a small IME bug! (There's a moment when you hit "Enter" to confirm the correct kanji for a word, and the widget interprets that "Enter" as "send message", which results in prematurely sending some words) 🙏.
