AI-POWERED DESIGN FEEDBACK
Improving Figma's tools for education to train the next generation of designers
The earlier in design education, the better.
When Figma becomes the student default, it naturally follows them into their professional design careers.
Choose the skill(s) you want to practice and the difficulty level. Regenerate frames if you want
something a little bit different.
Our goal was to preserve the experience of learning from a professor: asking quick questions, using a reference example, working together through a problem, and revisiting a process — now in a digital environment.
You've got some great momentum but need a little push to keep going. The cursor will contextualize it's answer for you by selecting the areas it's referencing.
When you need to see a couple examples and a longer explanation that you can reference later. Invoke by tagging @FigmaAI, and use it for getting visual, font, layout, and other inspo you want.
Like annotations on a paper crit.
AI Comments for visual examples and more detailed feedback
Sometimes the best learning happens by observing an expert or a team member's process to understand
their decision making and craft. Chat with FigmaAI to get this same interpersonal interaction — pausing, pointing, and asking questions.
Live chat for a little team action
Learning doesn't just happen in the moment — it is cemented through review. You can see all your interactions with FigmaAI to revisit the advice and the "why" in your feedback.
We realized that a successful design can't be measured the same way math or physics can be. These explorations helped us decide that LLMs offer the nuance needed to navigate such an ambiguous terrain.
Good design is hard to define, especially when the best designers break the rules.

Explain
Text hierarchy determined by
maintaining text sizes but changing text opacity
Hint
How can you convey importance
without changing text size?

… and see below for more parts of our process
Lots of exciting innovation…
Design tools exist in an ever-evolving landscape
To stay competitive in the long-term, Figma has to entrench itself
in the classroom
Students need personalized feedback, but professors don't have capacity to give it at scale.
A GenAI tool that creates unlimited practice drills for beginners, and acts as a teaching assistant when they get stuck
Four interaction modes to replicate the kinds of in-person conversations that students have with professors
Cursor chat for quick questions
History log as a rewindable notebook
Design rules exists outside the black and white
We experimented with different ways of offering design feedback
Guides first, designs as last resort
Presents multiple options, and breaks down its logic
Can be slowed down and reviewed later to cement learning
Prioritizing comments and live chat
