Figma launches AI Designer assistant for layout, copy, and accessible defaults

AI · 3 min read

AI Designer can generate multiple layout options from a brief, producing responsive grids and component suggestions that adhere to a team's design tokens. It also drafts microcopy variations, helping product writers test messaging in context without leaving the canvas.

Accessibility checks are baked into the assistant: suggested palettes meet contrast requirements and typographic scales respect dynamic type equivalents. Designers can lock tokens to ensure the assistant only uses approved styles and can export candidate layouts as production-ready components.

Figma added audit logs and prompt history so teams can review AI-generated changes and attribute decisions. The assistant reduces repetitive tasks and speeds iteration, particularly for small product teams without dedicated content or accessibility specialists.
