Figma Review (2025, from an AI-focused designer) Figma is still my go-to for designing UIs — clean, fast, collaborative. With the new AI updates, it's getting smarter: background removal, content suggestions, quick tweaks. Nothing revolutionary yet, but it helps speed up the boring stuff. Figma Make is where things really clicked for me. The flexibility and customization are exactly what I needed. It replaced a bunch of plugins and weird hacks. Honestly, for layout and system design, it’s never been better. But when it comes to prototyping AI behavior — agents, tool calls, branching logic — I step outside Figma. It’s just not built for that. You can fake chatbot flows, sure, but it’s static. There’s no real simulation of intelligence or state. That’s where tools like Lovable.dev or ProtoPie come in. I use those when I need to show how the product thinks, not just how it looks. And for anything close to the real thing, I’ll jump into code — React, Tailwind, whatever makes sense. Figma is evolving in the right direction. But for AI-native products, it's still the canvas, not the engine. I design in Figma. I prototype outside it. That’s the current vibe.
