As designers, collaborating with AI features like Figma Make can significantly improve speed and prototyping efficiency. It helps translate interaction ideas into motion faster and removes execution friction.

But design your screens yourself. Let AI assist, not replace, your craft.

As someone who’s won a few Contra hackathons, I love seeing what comes out of these. 🎖️🏆

Workflow aidesignflow papervsfigma

Paper or Figma ? Paper.design got $4.2M and teases AI, 3D, and new features. As a freelance brand designer (POV), my biggest workflow challenges are feedback and alignment, not the tool. Which will truly change workflows - new AI tools or better collaboration and feedback?

I agree with the point about feedback and alignment. New tools can speed things up, but better collaboration is still what makes the work feel clear and move forward smoothly. ( But here's the truth. I don't like Figma. I'm looking for a better alternative.)

Figma + ChatGPT = ❤️ Did you know you can tag Figma in ChatGPT chat and prompt it to do design work? In this article, I want to share my top 4 favorite use cases for using Figma right in the ChatGPT chat window. 1. Instant design critique for real screens

What to know what other people think about your design, but don’t have access to real users? No problem, you can use ChatGPT for that.

Suppose I have this design of a healthy food recipes mobile app and want to audit it (side note: this design was generated using Figma First Draft). I will click on the frame and copy the link to a section (this will point ChatGPT to the exact screen on this canvas). Now I jump to ChatGPT and in the prompt window type [tag]
