How to Use Figma AI and Figma Make

AI generation inside Figma - what it actually does well and how to build it into your daily design process.

Figma AI and Figma Make represent Anthropic and Google's bet that the best AI design tool is one that lives inside the design tool teams already use. Rather than asking designers to switch contexts to Claude Design or v0, Figma Make generates components and prototypes directly on the Figma canvas, with full access to the existing design system, components, and file history. For teams deeply invested in the Figma ecosystem, this is the lowest-friction path to AI-accelerated design.

No fluff. Real craft from designers who ship products people love using.

Figma AI Features: What Each One Actually Does

Figma has rolled out AI features across multiple product surfaces. The core ones that change daily workflow: Figma Make (generate UI from prompts, directly in Figma), AI layer rename (auto-rename messy layer structures), AI content replacement (replace placeholder text with realistic content), design suggestions (autocomplete design patterns), and prototype animation AI (generate transitions from static designs). The most impactful for speed: Figma Make for generating first-draft screens from feature briefs, and AI content replacement for filling designs with realistic data instead of lorem ipsum.

At Valletta Software, we focus on:

Figma Make: new file > Make tab > describe the screen or component > generates on canvas

Design system context: Figma Make reads your existing components and uses them in generation

Prompt specificity: describe the user goal not the component - show me a dashboard where the user can track orders

Iterate on canvas: edit the generated output like any Figma frame - full manual control after generation

AI rename layers: right-click frame > rename layers > cleans up auto-generated chaos instantly

AI content: select any text layer > fill with AI content > specify the content type (product name price description)

Prototype AI: select two frames > generate transition > AI infers the animation based on the difference

The Figma AI Workflow for Design Teams

Figma AI accelerates the parts of design work that are most repetitive - without changing the core design process.

We give you more than just people. We give you top performers who drive results.

Feature brief to first draft: PM writes feature brief > designer prompts Figma Make > first draft in 2 minutes

Design system health: AI detects components that deviate from the system - flags inconsistencies

Content fill: replace all lorem ipsum with realistic AI content before usability test - reduces noise

Annotation: Figma AI generates accessibility annotations on selected components - saves 30min per screen

Rename cleanup: messy auto-layout from Figma Make > AI rename > clean layer structure for dev handoff

Prototype: AI-generated transitions between screens - motion design without After Effects

Team adoption: Figma AI requires no new tool or login - same tool same file lower adoption friction

You lead the work. We handle the rest. From EUR 45/h.

How to Use Figma AI and Figma Make - With Designers Who Use It in Production Workflows

Lets keep it simple.

Our designers use AI to move faster without cutting corners - Figma AI, Midjourney for moodboarding, automated accessibility checks, and AI-generated copy starters - so the creative energy goes into decisions, not busywork.

Lets keep it simple.

Our designers use Figma Make for rapid first drafts AI content replacement for realistic prototype data and AI annotations for accessibility handoff - every sprint not just for demos
