At the recent #Config2024 conference, the renowned design tool Figma unveiled a series of impressive new features, with the most notable being the integration of advanced AI capabilities. These innovative features are designed to streamline the design process, enhance productivity, and allow designers to focus more on creativity itself.

The main features of Figma AI include:

  1. Design Generation: Generate initial design drafts in just a few seconds, providing a starting point for creativity.
  2. Prototype Creation: Convert static designs into interactive prototypes with a single click, significantly reducing tedious wiring work.
  3. Visual Search: Quickly find similar designs or exact matches within your team by uploading images.
  4. Content Replacement: Directly generate and replace text content within the design draft, making the design more realistic.
  5. Layer Renaming: Intelligently rename and organize layers, improving team collaboration efficiency.

Additionally, Figma introduced a new slide tool called Figma Slides (Flides) with optimized auto-layout features. Other updates include upgrades to Dev Mode (such as Ready for Dev View, Focus View), the official release of Code Connect, improvements to Auto Layout, and new features like FigJam Pages.

These AI features from Figma aim to eliminate obstacles in the design workflow, allowing designers to focus on the truly important details. From initial drafts to final products, Figma's AI assistant can help designers complete their work faster. Whether it's finding resources quickly through visual search, using AI to generate design sketches, or automatically renaming layers and translating text, Figma's AI features can make the design process smoother.

This update is undoubtedly set to bring significant changes to the design industry, enabling designers to more efficiently turn their creative ideas into reality. With the deep application of AI technology in design tools, we can expect to see more innovative design works emerging.
