Adobe XD and FigJam get collaborative AI playbooks for design critiques

The playbooks can produce agendas, generate focus questions based on project goals, and summarize feedback into action items tied to frames and components. In FigJam, the assistant can distill long critique threads into concise recommendations and propose testable hypotheses for designers to validate.

Playbooks integrate with task trackers to create follow-up tickets and can generate lightweight test scripts for remote user research platforms. Adobe emphasizes that the assistant facilitates team alignment rather than replacing human critique—outputs are intended as starting points for structured discussion.

Admins can customize playbook templates for different stages of the product lifecycle (early ideation vs pre-launch polish) and set data-sharing rules to control how critique artifacts are stored and exported.
