Explore navigation options in higher fidelity

The agent generates real navbar components on your canvas using your design library, so every option is production-ready from the start.

Generate navbars with your design system

Figma's agent builds navigation bars using your actual components, tokens, and variables—not placeholder UI you'll have to rebuild. Every generated navbar matches your design system from the first prompt.

Cut the busywork, stay in flow

Skip the tedious setup of aligning icons, spacing links, and configuring dropdowns by hand. Describe the navigation structure you need and let the agent scaffold it while you focus on the bigger decisions.

Align your team, close the loop

Generated navbars live in your shared file, so developers and stakeholders see the same thing you do. Nothing gets lost in export—everyone builds from the same source of truth.

    Connect a design library

    Point the agent to your design library so every generated navbar uses your real components, icons, and spacing tokens—not generic placeholders.

    Parallel prompting

    Explore a sticky header, a hamburger menu, and a mega nav all at once. Run multiple prompts simultaneously to compare directions without waiting.

    Shareable threads

    Share a thread and your team sees the full prompt, context, and iteration history. No separate handoff—everyone understands how the navbar was built.

    Skills

    Turn your navbar workflow into a reusable skill. Package prompts for headers, footers, or mobile menus into commands your whole team can run.

Figma feels like a natural extension of my hand. I do my design ideation on the canvas, and now the agent takes it the last mile. With my design libraries connected, I can move from design to code faster than ever before.

Get started with Figma's agent

  • Open the agent

    Select Agents in the left side rail or hit CMD + Enter. Add a frame to work in, or select an existing layout that needs navigation.

  • Describe your navbar

    Tell the agent what you need—a sticky header with logo and links, a mobile hamburger menu, a mega nav with dropdowns. Point to your design library for accurate components.

  • Review on the canvas

    Check the generated navbar on your canvas. Refine in the same thread or start a parallel one to explore a different navigation pattern.

  • Keep iterating

    Prompt again to adjust spacing, add icons, or try responsive variants. Everything stays editable, so you can fine-tune by hand anytime.

FAQ

An AI navbar generator helps you create navigation bars, menus, and header components by describing what you need instead of building from scratch. With Figma's agent, navbar generation happens directly on your design canvas using your existing components and styles. The output is fully editable and ready to iterate on.

Open the agent from the left side rail or press CMD + Enter in Figma Design. Describe the navbar you want—header with logo, horizontal links, and a CTA button, for example. The agent generates it on your canvas using your design library. Refine with follow-up prompts until it's right.

Figma's agent can generate different navbar variants for desktop, tablet, and mobile breakpoints. Describe the responsive behavior you need—collapsing to a hamburger menu on mobile, for instance—and the agent builds each variant. You can run parallel prompts to explore multiple responsive approaches at once.

Every navbar the agent generates lands on your canvas as fully editable layers and components. You can refine by prompting again in the same thread, adjust properties by hand, or swap components from your library. Nothing gets flattened or locked away.

Figma's agent is available on all paid Figma plans. You'll find it in the left side rail in Figma Design. During the current open beta, it doesn't consume AI credits—so it's a good time to explore, experiment, and share your feedback with us.
