Abstract

AbstractAI capabilities within Figma, one of the most prominent collaborative design tools in the market. By analyzing existing AI-driven features such as auto-layout, smart suggestions, and design automation tools, this paper delves into how these features enhance the user experience, streamline the design process, and improve collaborative workflows. Through an extensive literature review and practical tests, we assess both the current impact and limitations of AI within Figma, highlighting areas where automation falls short in fostering creativity and precision. The study also speculates on the future trajectory of AI within the platform, predicting advancements in machine learning algorithms, predictive design elements, and intelligent tools that could further revolutionize design processes. In doing so, this paper identifies key gaps in the present system and proposes recommendations for integrating more robust AI features, aimed at enhancing automation while preserving the creative integrity of designers. The analysis offers a roadmap for future innovations, positioning Figma as a tool that could lead the next wave of AI-powered design.Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Figma, Design Tools, User Experience, Collaboration, Future Technologies.
