Figma is expanding its platform's functionality to better accommodate the integration of AI agents. These new features are designed to provide clearer definitions and frameworks for how automated agents operate within the design environment. By establishing these parameters, Figma aims to streamline the workflow between AI-driven tools and human designers.

In addition to the agent-focused updates, Figma has officially moved its 'code layers' feature into open beta. This feature is intended to bridge the gap between design and development by allowing users to manage code-based elements directly within the design files. While the announcement highlights a shift toward more automated and code-integrated design processes, the company has not yet provided extensive details on the specific technical limitations or the long-term roadmap for these agent-based tools. The move is widely seen as part of a broader industry trend where design software platforms are increasingly incorporating AI-driven automation to compete with emerging generative design technologies.
