- Codelagen come to Figma sites
In the past week, Figma has fulfilled its many promises during his Config 2025 event.
After announcing the release of four new products – Figma Make, Figma sites, Figma Buzz and Figma Draw – the company has now launched a few new updates for developers and designers, in addition to the full rollout of its large content ideas tool Figma Make.
According to Figma, these updates are all about “bridging the gap between design and code” using new AI tools. So what can users expect now?
What’s new in Figma?
For me, the most exciting new release is Figma Make. Finally from beta it is now available for people with a full chair.
Figma Make is effectively an overarching design tool that spans the entire platform, and a huge jump for the ideas of content, where users can start with an empty canvas or copy and paste of Figma designs, collaborate on new ideas and then transfer those designs to other Figma tools such as sites to refine the concepts.
According to the company, Figma Make is fully able to help users “to create an agentic AI interface, a business newsletter and even games.”
When I have one Press a briefing at Config LondonI was struck by how Yuhki Yamashita, Chief Product Officer of Figma, repeatedly mentioned what the starting point is here to quickly evoke ideas, throw them away if they don’t work and then start again.
At the time, he said: “Our thought experiment was, how can we make it so easy for you to go from the idea of going into your head to something that you can actually place for users and validate very quickly. And if it doesn’t work, that’s great. You can continue to the next idea, or you can stay itteren.”
But it is not the only big rollout that users can now try. Figma has also released a new DEV mode MCP server, which is currently in beta.
Eagle-Eyed Figma watchers have clocked an early demo during the opening keynote of Microsoft Build.
The company describes the MCP server as a way to deliver a design context of Figma – think of variables and styles, things like that – in their preference LLM, IDE or Agentic Coding Tool, and ensures that AI -generated code matches the codebase of the users.
And finally, code layers are now being rolled out on Figma sites, the AI-driven Website builder. Here users can adjust websites with almost any technical skills and build site interactions and animations using AI prompts, presets or unprocessed code.
I was quite impressed when I saw Figma sites in action in configuration, where AI prompts were used to convert static text into animated text that responded to cursor movements. It is designed that even a non-designer can easily edit content.
With configuration, Yamashita promised that bigger things were going on and said: “We wanted to ensure that we could also support scaled use cases. With this type of content it is much easier if we have a CMS, so that a non-designer can come in and that content can comfortably work in a way that is known. And this is something fast.” It seems that it finally arrived.
