Figma Introduces 'FlowStudio' — Real-Time Interaction Designer with AI Assist

Design · 4 min read

FlowStudio brings AI-assisted interaction design directly into Figma, letting designers describe desired behavior — "pull-to-refresh with elastic bounce and haptic feedback" — and receive animated prototypes with timeline controls. The feature generates code-ready interaction specs and exports them as JSON or platform-specific snippets.\n\nThe launch emphasizes collaboration: multiple team members can co-edit an interaction flow while the AI suggests alternatives and edge-case behaviors. Figma built safety checks to avoid generating non-deterministic or inaccessible patterns, and it flags interactions that may conflict with platform conventions.\n\nFlowStudio also includes a plugin API, enabling developers to link generated interactions with real application logic. Early users say this reduces back-and-forth with engineers and speeds handoff, while accessibility teams appreciate the AI's automated checks for motion sensitivity and focus order.
