In their own words
Figma Make
Figma Make turns natural-language prompts into interactive wireframes, flows, dashboards and apps. A project can start from scratch or from a frame or component brought in from Figma Design. Users can refine generated work in a visual editor, adjust code in a built-in editor or prompt again. It can create interactive, data-connected prototypes that users can refine and test, using real content or API data through a backend integration. Prototypes can be shared with a team or published publicly. Prompts use AI credits, and the amount depends on the model, task complexity and context volume. Organization and Enterprise members can use vetted partner connectors such as Notion, Asana, Linear, GitHub and Atlassian; Organization members can also connect custom MCP servers subject to organization settings. Figma Make is listed for macOS and web. Its closed beta for using Make in a local codebase is Mac-only and requires the Figma Beta desktop app for Mac. A Professional Full seat is listed at $16 a month, billed monthly, with 3,000 AI credits per month.
