Figma Unleashes AI Power to Enhance FigJam Whiteboard Tool

Figma, the popular design platform, is today introducing three new AI-powered features to its online whiteboard tool FigJam. These new features aim to make FigJam more accessible for non-designers while also automating repetitive tasks for experienced users.

AI-powered template generation

One of the most common challenges faced by new FigJam users is the blank canvas. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start. To address this challenge, Figma is introducing AI-powered template generation.

With this feature, users can simply describe in text what they want to create, and the AI will generate a layout and populate it with relevant elements, such as sticky notes, shapes, and diagrams. For example, if you type in "project timeline," the AI might generate a timeline with different stages for each task.

AI-powered summarization

FigJam files can often contain a lot of information, making it difficult to quickly get a grasp of the key points. To address this, Figma is introducing AI-powered summarization.

With this feature, FigJam can automatically summarize the contents of a FigJam file, providing a quick overview of the key points and takeaways. This can be helpful for getting a quick understanding of a project or for sharing key insights with others.

AI-powered translation

Figma is also introducing AI-powered translation to FigJam. This feature allows users to translate the contents of a FigJam file into another language, making it easier for teams to collaborate across different languages.

Making FigJam more accessible and powerful

The new AI-powered features for FigJam are part of Figma's ongoing effort to make the tool more accessible and powerful for teams of all sizes. The company is also planning to add more AI-powered features in the future, such as the ability to automatically generate wireframes and prototypes.

FigJam is already a popular tool for collaboration and ideation, and the new AI-powered features are sure to make it even more popular. The features are currently available in beta, and Figma plans to make them generally available in the coming months.

In addition to the features mentioned in the press release, Figma is also planning to add the following AI-powered features to FigJam in the future:

• AI-powered code generation: FigJam will be able to automatically generate code from wireframes and prototypes.
• AI-powered design feedback: FigJam will be able to provide users with feedback on their designs, such as suggesting improvements to layout and typography.
• AI-powered accessibility checking: FigJam will be able to check designs for accessibility issues.

Figma's investment in AI is a clear sign that the company is committed to making FigJam the most powerful and versatile tool for collaboration and ideation.
