Figma Unveils AI Motion Graphics and Shader Tools at Config

Figma has announced significant updates to its design and coding platform during its annual Config conference. A key highlight is the integration of artificial intelligence to streamline creative processes and automate repetitive tasks. Among the new features are AI-generated motion graphics effects, allowing users to create animations and transition effects by simply describing them to a chatbot interface. Additionally, Figma introduced coding layers, which enable direct code adjustments within the Figma Design canvas, enhancing the platform's utility for full-stack development. These enhancements are part of Figma's vision for a reimagined canvas that consolidates teams, AI agents, tools, and materials, fostering a more integrated and efficient design and development environment.
