GoKawiilFigma launches Specs editor and expands code layers to guide AI agents
At its first Config event in India, Figma introduced Figma Specs, a Markdown-based editor that lets teams define design language and guidelines as a reference for both humans and AI agents. The company also moved its code layers feature, which adds code to canvas designs for interactive prototypes, from private to public beta, and announced integration with the Payload content management system.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The updates suggest Figma is trying to make AI-assisted design more predictable by giving agents a structured rulebook to follow, addressing concerns about the unreliability of generative AI tools. Opening code layers to more users could accelerate adoption of AI-driven prototyping within design teams, positioning Figma as a hub where design and code converge.
- Figma Specs is a new Markdown editor for defining design systems that both teams and AI agents can reference
- Code layers, which let designs include code for interactive prototypes, is now in public beta
- Figma is integrating with Payload CMS and expanding its agent-on-canvas tool to more users
