Figma has announced a series of product updates aimed at bringing design, code and AI agents together on a single collaborative platform, as the company looks to simplify product development workflows for designers, developers and product managers.
Announced at Config India in Bengaluru, the updates introduce code layers, Figma Specs, centralised design system management and deeper integration with Payload, an open-source backend framework and content management system (CMS).
The company has also expanded its Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem with 20 new partners, including Sarvam AI, Grok Bot and Open Code. The integrations will enable teams to connect coding agents and other AI tools with Figma’s design environment.
“Figma was the first to introduce the multiplayer canvas for teams to design together. The next evolution is a full-stack creative canvas where teams and agents can build together, from idea to ship, in a visual-first way,” said Dylan Field, co-founder and CEO of Figma.
The announcements come a week after Figma made its AI agent generally available. The company said the new features are designed to help product teams collaborate more effectively as AI tools make software development faster and more accessible.
One of the key announcements is code layers, which allow teams to build, explore, edit and compare code-backed prototypes directly on Figma’s Design canvas. The feature is being launched in open beta.
Users can create code layers by prompting the Figma agent, importing work from GitHub repositories or connecting coding agents through MCP. Teams can also convert existing Figma designs into interactive prototypes to evaluate functionality, accessibility and design consistency before development progresses.
