Figma Unveils 20-Plus AI Tools and Full-Stack Canvas at Config

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Jun 24

Summary

  • Figma’s Config rollout centers on a redesigned canvas built for full-stack development, letting teams work with code, AI agents, tools and materials in one place.
  • Code layers are the key workflow change: users can clone repositories, edit project code inside the Design canvas, extract flows into editable design layers and sync changes back to code.
  • AI features also expand into creation tools, with prompt-based motion graphics for animations and transitions, plus WebGPU-powered shaders for effects such as dither, pixelation and blur.
  • The update adds 20-plus integrated Weave tools for visual workflows, while agent skills, third-party connectors, web search and generative plugins aim to automate repetitive team tasks.
  • Figma said the Weave integration is only a first step, with a fuller merger between Figma and Figma Weave planned later this year.
