Design platform Figma announced a new Markdown-based editor and agent features during its first Config event in India. The company aims to provide definitions for its own and third-party agents to adhere to a brand's design rules better when creating with AI.
Figma debuted Figma Specs, a markdown editor allowing users to define their design language simply, serving as a reference for teams and agents. The company also expanded code layers to public beta, allowing users to ask agents to turn designs into code or iterate on prototypes. Additionally, Figma integrated the Payload headless content management system with its Figma Make product for dynamic websites and content management.
These updates matter because they help steer the non-deterministic nature of AI toward more predictable outcomes for software teams.
