Designing with AI in Figma: a shift in how we work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not too long ago, AI in design felt experimental. But now, with tools like Figma embedding AI features into their core functionality, it\u2019s fast becoming a central part of the <\/span>design process<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tasks that once took hours can now be done in minutes, like building out flows, refining layouts or writing product copy. But the impact of AI goes beyond productivity. It\u2019s slowly but surely shifting the designer\u2019s role, and it\u2019s changing how we think, create and collaborate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Designers are no longer required to do everything from scratch or craft every detail manually. Increasingly, they must take on the role of curator, editor and strategic decision-maker. They must know when and how to leverage AI throughout the design process, and how to work with AI outputs for best results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, importantly, they must approach AI-generated content with a critical mind, always weighing up: <\/span>is it ethical and inclusive? Does it enhance the user experience? Am I striking a good balance between AI-powered productivity and my uniquely human expertise?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a complex path to navigate, and it\u2019s not just a passing trend. UI designers must quickly get comfortable with AI tools and features and integrate them seamlessly into their existing workflows.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll focus on AI in Figma, walking you through some of the best plugins and showing you how to fit them into your day-to-day work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
