I missed the announcement a couple of weeks ago, but the stamp wheel now includes all emojis, which you can use as emotes or as stamps.

From design system documentation and PRDs to user research and feedback, Make can now pull in context from across your product ecosystem. Figma added new featured connectors for Amplitude, Box, Dovetail, Granola, Marvin, and zeroheight. You can also connect Make to any remote MCP server by setting up a custom connector.

Once you’ve installed and authorized a Make connector, just hit @ in your Make file and start typing the connector name to pull external context directly into your prototype.

Joey Banks: “…trying Figma Console MCP has completely opened my eyes into what I can offload. Not because it replaces the enjoyable work that I was doing before, but because it handled some of the longer, more repetitive tasks so quickly, and actually so well. Creating 200+ variables took seconds, and mapping them to color swatch instances so the team could preview values was way easier than I expected.”

“Bringing Claude Code workflows directly into Figma lets developers, designers, and even hobbyists capture a real, functioning UI from a browser — in production, staging, or localhost — and convert it into editable frames on the Figma canvas. Code is powerful for converging — running a build, clicking a path, and arriving at one state at a time. The canvas is powerful for diverging — laying out the full experience, seeing the branches, and shaping direction collectively. Going from code to canvas helps teams move fluidly, so work can narrow when it needs to and open up when it’s time to collaborate.”

My guess is it’s based on the html.to.design technology that Figma acquired last year, which is a huge time saver and an essential part of my toolkit. I haven’t tested Claude Code to Figma yet, but the result in demos looks very similar to what I usually get from the plugin. Which makes me wonder why they limited it to Claude Code instead of making something like a universal ​“Send to Figma” browser extension?

Weavy’s CEO Itay Schiff walks through his path from 25 years in high‑end VFX to building Weavy, and why Figma acquired it. Weavy lets you package complex node‑based AI flows into simple apps that 200+ teammates can use, baking in brand rules and references by default. It matters if you care about how Figma will operationalize AI beyond one‑off prompts — this is effectively ​“internal tools for creatives” hiding behind a friendly app layer.

In this interview, Jay Dalal chats with Laura Dunn, Head of Design Research for the GM Human Interface Design Team. You will learn how Laura uses Figma Make as a UX researcher to communicate visually with designers.

Once your design system is in Figma Make, you can really reap the benefits of working with design and code side by side and start actually using your system. This article walks through the specific technical problems of pulling a design system out of a monorepo to make it accessible in Figma Make.

With the Figma MCP app in Claude, designers, developers, and product managers can now create AI-generated FigJam diagrams.

On a recent livestream, Product Designer Megan Bednarczyk and Software Engineer Nile Phillips from Figma demonstrated how PDE teams can use AI-powered diagramming to tackle complex problems and visualize the bigger picture.

New device frames are now available for the latest iPhone 17 and Air models.

“Join Nikolas Klein (Product Manager, Figma) and Peter Ng (Product Designer, Figma) in the first episode of Design Roulette, where we challenge designers to create designs with no preparation. The twist? They’ll also have to spin the wheel and incorporate the chosen random design prompt into their design. In this episode, they’ll conceptualize ads for the mythical hot sauce, Véloce, using Figma’s new AI image editing tools.”

The Glass effect is now generally available, and Miggi introduces a few updates: add Glass to any object, shape, or text; design Glass with non-uniform corners and precisely round each corner radius; use the Splay property to control how light bends around an object’s edges; and apply variables to Glass properties to easily connect to your design system.

“These updates give you more precision and control when bringing ideas to life in Figma Make: preview a to-do list for your more complex prompts so you can see, verify, and even edit the plan before it runs; manually edit text or delete specific elements to quickly fine-tune your prototypes; and a new navigation bar where you can route to a specific screen of your prototype.”

Doruk: ​“Photoshop to Sketch was a productivity jump. Sketch to Figma was a collaboration jump. This next jump will be the same type of collaboration leap, but for coded prototypes. This is not ​“designers can code now”. It is about keeping design work shareable and close to production. The teams that win will not be the ones with the fanciest local setups. They will be the ones who keep making, testing, and reviewing work in the same shared space.”

Nikolas Klein, PM at Figma: ​“Today, we’re introducing the ability to embed Figma Make prototypes into Figma Design, FigJam, and Figma Slides, along with new editing tools that help you build and share your best ideas.”

In this video, Figma shows how you can use Figma Make to brainstorm and prototype new product features and ideas.

“Starting today, the Figma for Jira app supports webhooks, so teams can get instant design status updates like ​“Ready for Dev” directly in Jira tickets, with no admin setup required. Webhook support is enabled for newly linked design files, and we’re rolling it out to existing links soon.”

Big update to Figma navigation! The rollout seems to still be in progress, as I’m seeing it only in one of my accounts. If you aren’t seeing it yet, here is another quick demo from Zander.

“We’re introducing a new left navigation bar in Figma Design, Draw, and Dev Mode to make it easier to move between library assets, variables, and search. To help you get familiar, we added labels, which you can toggle anytime in the View menu. Edge-to-edge variables authoring experience. See everything at a glance with the new full screen view that spans the entire width of the browser.”

“Templates built with Variable modes now work seamlessly when published to Buzz. This gives your marketing teams more flexibility to toggle between your brand modes like colors, campaigns, markets, and more — all while staying on brand. When they open a template published with variables, they’ll see a new Variable switcher in the menu to easily change modes.”

“Admins on Organization and Enterprise plans can now disable ​‘From Figma’ Community templates in Buzz, ensuring teams use only the templates your brand team has published and approved.”
