Design · 5 min read

Adobe relaunched XD, positioning it as an AI-first prototyping platform with a curated marketplace for AI plugins. The generative prototyping feature can produce interactive user journeys, screen flows, and state maps from short product briefs, speeding early-stage exploration.

The AI plugins marketplace features verified vendors offering capabilities like conversation-driven UX, accessibility auto-fixes, and component library harmonization. Adobe is emphasizing security and plugin vetting to prevent malicious behavior and ensure data privacy.

XD's relaunch includes improved export fidelity for developer handoff and tighter integrations with Creative Cloud Libraries. Adobe hopes the marketplace approach will attract toolmakers and offer designers a one-stop environment for AI-assisted workflows.
