Figma AutoLayout AI 2.0 brings constraint-aware reflow and conversational layout edits

Design · 3 min read

Figma's AutoLayout AI 2.0 improves how components and frames adapt when resizing or changing content. The key advance is constraint-aware reflow: the system respects manual overrides and component constraints while proposing reflows that maintain visual rhythm across breakpoints.

A conversational command palette allows designers to ask for layout edits in natural language—"increase left padding by 12px across header variants"—and see proposed changes before accepting them. Figma says the palette is powered by an internally tuned LLM and supports team-level prompt presets.

The update also includes smarter stacking behavior and a new 'layout diff' inspector that highlights what changed between iterations, helping handoffs to engineers and reducing layout regressions in component libraries.
