The agents run on the Figma canvas and work from components and design systems. Figma says the new agents follow user instructions more accurately and handle long-duration tasks better, and that in comparative evaluations by professional designers the new agents' output drew higher ratings in more than 60% of cases.","whyItMatters":"The pitch is not a new tool but a new layer inside an environment teams already use, and the design system is the unit it works from, which is where Figma's advantage over standalone generative tools sits.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe agents are grounded in components and design systems rather than generated from a prompt alone. Alongside general availability, Figma added Markdown guidelines that can be attached to libraries, search and insert for Figma Design frames, FigJam sticky notes and Figma Slides content, and real-time visibility into how a team member\u0026#39;s agent is working on the canvas. Teams can also compile workflows into reusable skills and publish them to the team or the Figma Community.
