Figma's AI features are built into the design tool most product teams already use. First Draft turns prompts into editable UI, Rename Layers cleans messy files instantly and visual search finds designs across a team's workspace. None of these individually revolutionizes design, but together they remove enough friction to change day-to-day productivity for designers.
