Figma has launched a native AI agent that operates directly on the canvas, not in a sidebar or external tool. It handles exploration, bulk edits, and feedback implementation as active workflow steps, not as autocomplete suggestions.
The significant detail here is the word 'agent': this is not a chat assistant that describes changes, it executes them inside the file. That distinction matters for how design tools will be evaluated and compared going forward.
The description links to figma.bot/agent, which suggests Figma is treating this as a standalone product surface. The cases listed, exploring directions, bulk editing, and implementing feedback, cover three distinct workflow phases. How well it handles each one without breaking component structure is the question the full announcement must answer.
