Surface insights where you design

Figma's agent brings research synthesis directly to your canvas, connecting user feedback and usability findings to the frames and flows they relate to. Your team sees insights in context, not buried in a separate document.

Get started with Figma's agent

  • Open the agent

    Select Agents in the left side rail or hit CMD + Enter. Add research inputs like feedback notes or screenshots to your canvas.

  • Describe your research need

    Tell the agent what you need—summarize this feedback, audit this flow for usability, or identify pain points in these comments.

  • Review insights on canvas

    Check the output directly on your canvas. Refine in the same thread or start a parallel one to explore a different research angle.

  • Keep iterating

    Prompt again to dig deeper, or turn the workflow into a reusable skill. Everything stays editable so you can refine by hand.

FAQ

An AI UX research agent helps teams synthesize user feedback, identify usability issues, and surface insights faster. Figma's agent brings these capabilities directly into the design canvas, so research findings inform decisions where the work happens—without switching between separate tools or documents.

Figma's agent can help summarize user interview notes, organize feedback into themes, audit designs for heuristic issues, draft research questions, and surface patterns across comments. It handles the synthesis work so researchers and designers can focus on interpreting findings and making decisions.

Figma's agent is designed to support UX researchers, not replace them. It accelerates tedious tasks like summarizing feedback and organizing themes, but human judgment remains essential for interpreting findings, understanding context, and translating insights into meaningful design decisions. The agent handles the busywork so researchers can focus on craft.

AI can miss nuance, misinterpret context, or surface patterns that need human validation. Figma's agent works best when researchers review its outputs, refine with follow-up prompts, and apply their expertise to the final synthesis. It's a collaborator, not a replacement for critical thinking.

Figma's agent is available on all paid Figma plans. You'll find it in the left navigation bar 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.
