AI for Designers.
Image generation got the headlines; the useful tools are about iteration speed and design-system consistency. We track Figma plugins, prototyping copilots, and image tools — and we note which ones you can use in client work without licensing landmines.

Figma Make.
Prompt to working prototype.
We think Figma Make is promising for fast prototyping, but the public feedback is clearly more mixed than the marketing suggests. It is best understood as a design-to-prototype shortcut, not a reliable way to skip product development. The strength is speed. For early ideas, it can turn a prompt into something visual and clickable fast, which is useful for designers and marketers who want to test a direction before spending time on a real build. The weakness is trustworthiness. Reddit users repeatedly complain that the generated code is rough, hard to clean up, and not easy to move into a real production app. It also seems much less compelling once the project becomes data-heavy, complex, or tightly coupled to the rest of Figma. **Strengths**: Fast for prototyping, good for early idea exploration, useful when you want a visual draft quickly. **Weaknesses**: Generated code can be poor, not production-ready, weak fit for complex apps or serious handoff work. **Final verdict**: We see Figma Make as useful for rough prototypes and design exploration. If you need a real app, expect to rebuild most of it yourself.
