CMS makes it easy to create dynamic content for blogs, portfolios, events pages, and more. Design Advocate Kaitie Chambers covers key concepts and features, such as connecting data to your webpage, connecting fields to design layers, and using pre-connected CMS blocks.

Dylan Field shows several demos prepared with Gemini 3 Pro and highlights how this model stood out in one-shot generation and a wide range of visual aesthetics.

Loredana Crisan, Chief Design Officer at Figma, introduces Gemini 3 Pro as a new experimental model in Figma Make.

Connect external tools to Make to pull in PRDs, tickets, and product documents, so you can create prototypes with full context. Update your connected docs or create tasks directly from Make to keep everything in sync. Supported connectors: Asana, Atlassian (Confluence, Jira), GitHub, Linear, mon​day​.com, and Notion.

Holly Li, product manager for Figma Make, explains two major recent updates: templates let a team create and publish a Make prototype, enabling others to instantly build on a solid foundation without recreating designs from scratch, and making it possible to copy Make prototypes directly as design layers into Figma Design.

“Code Connect UI lets you map design components in your Figma libraries to the corresponding code components in your repository. These mappings enhance the Figma MCP server by giving AI agents direct references to your code, enabling more accurate implementation guidance.”

Dylan Field on the newest addition to Figma’s product line: ​“Figma has acquired Weavy, a platform that brings generative AI and professional editing tools into the open canvas. As Figma Weave, the company will help build out image, video, animation, motion design, and VFX media generation and editing capability on the Figma platform.”

In A Match Made in Heaven, Weavy’s early investor, Ben Blumenrose from Designer Fund, shared three key features of their product approach that make for a very powerful tool — being model agnostic, exposing process, and working as an aggregator.

In a quick demo, Product Designer Natasha Tenggoro shows how to use plugins in Buzz to insert brand-approved images, localize assets, and add animations, brand logos, QR codes, and more.

Designer Advocate Kaitie Chambers shows how to configure templates in Figma Buzz using component properties for faster, more flexible workflows — all while keeping your content intact and on-brand.

Three new features that deepen customization and control in Figma Buzz: configurable marketing templates using component properties, video trimming directly in Buzz, and easy access to plugins that help with digital asset management, translation, animation, and more.

Miggi joins Build, Launch & Earn to explore what’s possible when designers start thinking (and building) beyond the mockup. They talk about workflows, play with tools in real-time, and look at how this shift opens new doors — for freelancing, launching products, and building more value into your client work.

Christine Vallaure walks readers through her Figma workflow — how she combines everything, thinks through a project, and turns all those features into a working and maintainable file.

“Now you can push your Make project directly to a new GitHub repository. Back up your code, track version history, and keep building in your preferred development tools. Push ongoing updates from Make to your GitHub repository whenever you make changes.”

Figma Make is pretty great for building custom diagrams for your research.

“Winners from our first global Make-a-thon offer insights on how to prototype smarter, structure products better, and push Figma Make further.”

Pratik Nadagouda, Product Manager at Figma, shows how to use the upcoming Figma Make connectors to visualize PRDs and tasks with the help of 3rd-party services like Notion, Atlassian, Linear, or Asana.

Another use case for Connectors is pushing code from Figma Make to a GitHub repository, which can be used as a project backup or source for deployment to your preferred hosting platform. Future updates to the Make file can be manually pushed to the repository. Connectors will become available later in October.

“Starting today, the Figma app in ChatGPT will be able to recommend and create AI-generated FigJam diagrams based on your conversation. Users can also upload files like photos, drawings, and PDFs to guide the output. That currently includes text-based flow charts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and Gantt charts, with more to come. […] To use the Figma app, simply mention it in your ChatGPT prompt, i.e., ​“Figma, make a diagram from this sketch.” ChatGPT can also suggest the Figma app when it’s relevant to the conversation.”

The Cut tool allows you to precisely divide vector objects and shapes into separate objects. When editing a vector, select the Cut tool and either click and drag to slice an object or click on a point to split the vector. Don’t miss a little fun interaction detail that Rogie and Tim sneaked in.

Dylan Field shows a couple of projects he built in Figma Make with pre-release Sonnet 4.5. He notes that the new model is very good at planning and was able to precisely transform a Figma design into a functional code with a single prompt.
