Transcripts
figma AI is here and it brings a lot of
cool new features along with it which
were just launched at figma config let
me take you through all the features and
how they really work and at the end of
the video Also let's discuss some
controversial stuff happening at this
event and how people are reacting to
this so the first feature here is making
designs with prompts so you type in a
prompt based on your requirements the
app the website whatever it is and it
autog generates a user interface for you
which is editable of course in the
background they're utilizing a lot of
pre-made assets and components that the
figma team has created however they are
promising that material design and other
such Design Systems can be leveraged
using this AI so you'll have a choice of
what kind of design system you want in
your designs once you generate a design
using promps in Figi you can now also
quick edit these designs so you can
tweak things like typography border
radius colors gradients etc for quick
edits second feature which which is
close to my heart is the quick
prototyping so now instead of manually
drawing prototypes from one screen to
the other it automatically understands
if there is a button which takes you to
another page and generates a quick
prototype of course this prototype will
have basic animations or basic
Transitions and will'll of course work
on click triggers and not other triggers
like hover Etc so it won't understand
that completely right now but for now
you just have click triggers from one
page to the other third thing which got
a lot of people people excited and
people were cheering for this clapping
for this on stage was the rename layer
feature so it renames your current
existing layers and also child layers so
if there is a card it will name it to
card one or whatever it is and then it
will name the elements inside that card
as well which is quite nice of course it
recognizes everything on screen so if
there is a song title it will name it as
song title which is pretty interesting
third feature that they were pushing out
a lot was the AI search feature which
has different levels to it now visual
search is like Google lengths but for
figma so what it does is you can upload
any screenshot you have of a UI design
and this tool will find similar assets
and designs in your figma files so if
you created a design which is similar to
that design or has similar assets to
that design it will then match it with
that and show it to you and apart from
that they're also promising that in the
search bar of the assets panel if you
describe a design or if you describe an
asset it will try and find those assets
for you inside your figma project the
next feature is of course well expected
is adding relevant content so if you
have a bunch of screens designed and you
have lapum and stuff like that in those
screens including even generating images
of course this is using open AI to do it
so you will find a lot of those same
open AI mistakes in those images as well
like the weird text that shows up of
course there were again plugins for this
already available so people will stop
using those plugins probably and of
course as a cherry on the top they've
also added removing backgrounds as a
default feature inside figma so you can
just now ask figma AI to remove a
background and it will from any image
that you open now the next feature is
actually kind of like a new tool by
figma now it's called figma slides it is
a brand new interface where you can
create or generate slides from your
existing designs as well you have a lot
of pre-made templates and assets for
these slides and presentations as well
which you can just quickly choose from
and all the editing inside figma slides
will work very similar to how you edit
like Auto layout is available in figma
slides as well which is a really nice
touch and at any point of time you can
switch from a basic figma slides View to
a more advanced figma design view you
also have something called grids view so
your entire team can see an entire grid
of all the slides that you have created
and comment on on each one of them and
figma slides is available for all of us
to try now so you can always go ahead
and try it out next feature is the
completely revamped UI design of figma
yes figma now has a completely new look
might take some time to get used to
because it has a lot of other things
which we weren't expecting on the panel
on the right you will now see a lot of
these little boxes earlier these were
just text areas or text inputs it felt
much more minimal to be honest in my
opinion I think this makes it a little
trickier to understand and cognitive
load is going to be much more I don't
know why these gray boxes are there all
of a sudden I like the hovering card
Style on the left and right don't get me
wrong but the whole new gray boxes all
over the place uh gives me a little bit
of pdsd I don't know another update is
that inside fig Jam for fig Jam users
you will now have a fig Jam pages so
inside every fig Jam board you will now
have Pages just like you had in figma
which can be really useful for a lot of
teams out there you also have a
responsive prototyping viewer so now
while you are prototyping a design you
can go from mobile view to web view or
to a tablet view really quick another
one is our favorite Auto layout Auto
layout will Now understand much better
if you have a UI design you make it auto
layout it will automatically understand
how to make it more responsive and you
won't have to do a lot of the manual
labor and stuff that you had to do
earlier to make Auto layout work better
and last but not the least UI kits will
now be officially inside your figma
assets spanel so you don't have to
duplicate a UI kit from the community
anymore things like Google material
design and apple hiig are already
available inside the figma assets panel
in all your project apart from this
there were other smaller changes and
changes to Dev mode I'll have a link to
all the changes in the description but
let's talk about the controversy and
what people are not liking about this
update let's talk about that as well
okay so the first thing that I am not
liking is of course the UI design revamp
the second thing is of course Ai figma
Ai and how it's working and how people
are worried that their files will now be
used for figma a to study or to learn
from our private file so inside their
official blog which is figma shortcut
they've introduced all these features
but at the bottom they have the approach
and data privacy along with the figma AI
so their approach says that none of the
figma AI features they've shown till now
are being generated with your designs
the AI that they're using is mostly open
AIS chat GPD Etc on public free
community files so if somebody has put
up a free community file for everyone to
view they will be using these files to
help the AI study and learn and then
create UI designs Etc now they have
highlighted this section this paragraph
right here first all admins have control
of whatever their team's content data is
used for training so yes in the future
figma can use your files to train their
AI or for their AI to start
understanding new things so if you want
you can always opt out of it now here is
where things can get a little negative
for people where people can retaliate
the starter and professional plans which
most of you guys use is being by default
opted in to have all your customer data
also and all your figma files to be
accessed by the figma AI models to study
and learn luckily I don't think figma is
going to leak any of this information
but just make sure that the setting is
always off you turn off sharing with AI
or access to AI so that your files are
100% safe guys if you like this update
hit the like button or comment down any
of your griefs any of your anger down in
the comments let's have a debate let's
see if people like this or not I'll see
you every week just like this so make
sure you subscribe and until next time
take care God bless
