Figma AI

Late to this conversation, but I'm a designer and very excited about these new AI features. They address tedious work that most designers don't want to deal with. It reminds me of why Figma won love from the design community in the first place - because they innovate on systems using emerging technology. They have always made designers more effective and relevant, rather than maintaining status quo simply because enterprise paying customers are stuck in their ways.

It looks like a solid set of updates. A lot of designers seem worried, but I’m not sure they need to be. It was always the case you could get prebuilt templates and the like, but companies still prefer to have professional designers. I imagine it’ll make prototyping much faster
karaterobot 2y ago
Watching the keynote, the feature where it spits out a design based on a prompt seems like a gimmick. If it doesn't work with MY design system (as opposed to curated design systems like MUI or Bootstrap or whatever) then it's useless. It's also probably not ready to design complex applications, as opposed to brochure websites and apps that fit into very common templates. The AI-powered search features seem really promising, as finding the right design file is a problem I face every day. What they showed was the ability to paste a screenshot (e.g. from production) and have it find where that design came from, or use a text search to do the same. That's something that'll make me squeal with joy if it actually works. Filling in mock data in designs is also a big potential quality of life improvement. The domain I work in is so specific that I'm not sure it'll be of practical use to me, but I'm hopeful. All in all, I'm glad about the parts where they are trying to target some specific pain points with AI, skeptical about the rest.

  PM here for Make Designs. > If it doesn't work with MY design system (as opposed to curated design systems like MUI or Bootstrap or whatever) then it's useless You hit the nail on the head. This our #1 focus for this team moving forward. If you noticed in the keynote, Dylan highlighted Chen Chen and the Google Material team, both of whom created generators for their design systems. They work, but they were hard to make as the tooling to create these isn't polished or ready yet. It's something we're actively thinking about and improving in order to make this useful for those with existing design systems.
  - tsunamifury 2y ago
    The problem here isn’t that it uses your pattern library or not. The issue is it will spit out static designs that look right but aren’t actually based on either user goals or business goals of the product. It’s just a design that looks right. It’s missing the entire workflow design part and in fact covers over the need for it. I see it leading a lot of less experienced product programs astray.

      I think what would also be important is to select an existing frame and create additional views that fit the existing frame, that would definitely help creating a proper workflow
  - choppaface 2y ago
    Are you really shooting to generate something full-fidelity? Or rather provide lower fidelity but empower the user to spitball and maybe test light interaction? And if it is full fidelity, how do you ensure users actually own the copyright at the end of the day?

  v0 by Vercel only outputs one UI library, shadcn/ui. Useful if you are wanting to use that library for example starting a project from scratch. Potentially vercel will add more. https://v0.dev/ https://v0.dev/

    You can also output HTML / Tailwind, but the ambition is to support custom React component libraries & design systems.
- kristopolous 2y ago
  most projects are pretty generic. I've been on countless where they just want something that looks like everything else. If this can deliver that and I can do it without having to contract out a designer, it's a win.
  - hbosch 2y ago
    The race is on. What will AI deliver first...? Production-ready code so PMs don't need engineers, or production-ready designs so PMs don't need designers? The reality is that without domain experts (design, research, engineering, business, law) you're left trusting the AI to make the decision without a good way to check if it made the right one.
    - alfalfasprout 2y ago
      Oh you'll find out alright... when it's too late. I'm just waiting for a year or two from now when companies realize what a colossal hole they dug themselves in using a bunch of AI generated crap in production. We're already seeing it with marketing copy.
    - kristopolous 2y ago
      Design is different. It's become literally just whatever the boss likes. You can tell me about the math, theories and laws but look around you, nobody cares about those any more.

        > You can tell me about the math, theories and laws but look around you, nobody cares about those any more. It's true. Just a few years back, design thinking was all the rage. Nowadays, even apps from flagship companies feel all over the place. Attention to detail, unobtrusive interface, intelligent symbols, subdued color palettes, rich illustrations, all that is out the window now. Why should we need good design when we can replace it with cheaper "AI" templates?

What they showed was the ability to paste a screenshot (e.g. from production) and have it find where that design came from, or use a text search to do the same. That's something that'll make me squeal with joy if it actually works. I've found that, generally, "better search" is the biggest productivity bump I get from gen AI at the moment. That is, lots of times I don't know the keyword of what I want to find beforehand, and with things like ChatGPT I can just describe it to find out. E.g. recently I needed to update all the values in a Postgres array column of one value to another, so I just described to ChatGPT what I wanted to do. It would have taken me a lot longer to hunt through the docs to find the `array_replace` function and get usage examples. Plus, in the "better search" use case I'm much less concerned about hallucinations as I'm really only using ChatGPT to get me started in the right direction in the first place.

Every AI tool being released by 3rd parties is being blacklisted by my company. The primary reasoning is around sharing data with tool itself. On the other hand, if my clients allow them, there’s a long review and approval process followed by continuous audits. Is anyone else running into this at their companies? I look at these tools and get excited but I’m continuously being blocked from using for work.
- digging 2y ago
  My organization is kind of just not talking about AI tools and the obvious risks. We've gotten neither a ban nor an all-clear, leaving us to use it according to our own judgment and not talk about it very much. I think more companies are in this boat, and while I understand your frustration, your company is making the wiser move (although it may bite them; some of the more reckless companies will die for their carelessness but others will survive and pull ahead faster).
- YetAnotherNick 2y ago
  I saw this in a few of my friends' companies. I have asked to everyone how is storing data in Azure is better than using Azure ChatGPT API, and till now I haven't been able to get a good answer.
  - mrbungie 2y ago
    This. If you don't trust your provider when it says it won't use data you embed in your LLM API Calls, why do you trust them when you use any of their other services?
    - shermantanktop 2y ago
      Because those other services are built with clear expectations of tenant isolation, and cross-tenant data leakage would be a near-fatal event. But the models behind these AI tools have a single-tenant core, with tenant isolation added on as a heroic effort to fake what the technology does not support by default.

Is it just me or did gen AI allow companies to cheat a lot more with their demos/showcases? I feel like there’s absolutely no way to tell if what’s shown is representative, cherry-picked or outright faked.

As additional proof that it was not faked, the CEO was clearly distracted by the notifications from hundreds of people requesting access to the live file he was demoing from, which was a pretty good live demo moment.

toddmorey 2y ago
They have not yet started doing any training on user content and I applaud them for that. (They've only used public community files so far.) However, they are headed that way to support advanced AI features. Quoting Fimga: Two important highlights: First, all admins have control of whether their team’s content data is used for training. Second, participation in AI content training is not required to use Figma or Figma’s AI features. Learn more about our approach to training. PLEASE, PLEASE make that opt-in versus opt-out. Do the right thing here, Figma!
- flappyeagle 2y ago
  It’s opt out for lower plans and opt in for higher plans
  - 542458 2y ago
    Higher plans actually can’t opt in. If I look in settings on my organization plan I cannot turn on the allow training checkbox - it’s disabled in an off state.
  - toddmorey 2y ago
    Somehow I hate that more.
- b3ing 2y ago
  You know it will be turned on by default, that is 99% what companies do. The data-for-training is too important to get no matter what

meelford 2y ago
Despite the ethical concerns, it would be very useful if Figma offered an option for large organisations to train an organisation-level model that does not share data with the rest of the world. I believe the opt-in rate would be much higher.

It's quite telling that they are showcasing a quite badly working AI feature that no one really asked for. And yet pricing controls that people actually want? Oh 6 to 12 months maybe

They have not yet started doing any training on user content and I applaud them for that. (They've only used public community files so far.) However, they are headed that way to support advanced AI features. Quoting Fimga: Two important highlights: First, all admins have control of whether their team’s content data is used for training. Second, participation in AI content training is not required to use Figma or Figma’s AI features. Learn more about our approach to training. PLEASE, PLEASE make that opt-in versus opt-out. Do the right thing here, Figma!

It’s opt out for lower plans and opt in for higher plans

  Higher plans actually can’t opt in. If I look in settings on my organization plan I cannot turn on the allow training checkbox - it’s disabled in an off state.

  Somehow I hate that more.

You know it will be turned on by default, that is 99% what companies do. The data-for-training is too important to get no matter what

Any time I see "AI" bullshit now, I'm going to post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvDCk3pY4qo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvDCk3pY4qo

Despite the ethical concerns, it would be very useful if Figma offered an option for large organisations to train an organisation-level model that does not share data with the rest of the world. I believe the opt-in rate would be much higher.
