Figma Enhances Design Tool with AI and Code Layers

Figma has unveiled a major update that integrates code layers into its design platform, enhancing collaboration between designers and developers. This update allows users to work with code directly on the canvas, facilitating rapid iteration and exploration of ideas. New features include support for animations, transitions, and 3D transforms, which can now be created within Figma itself. The update also expands AI capabilities, enabling the creation of assets and shader effects, and supports custom plug-ins through text prompts. These enhancements aim to streamline workflows and foster creativity across teams.
