Figma has announced a partnership with Google to integrate its Gemini AI models directly into the Figma ecosystem. This will provide users with AI-powered assistance for various design tasks. The integration includes Imagen 4, Google's text-to-image model, enabling designers to generate high-quality concept art and prototypes within the Figma platform. According to Figma, early tests using Gemini 2.5 Flash have shown a significant reduction in latency for its Make Image feature by approximately 50%. This collaboration aims to streamline workflows and accelerate the creative process for Figma's user base. The move is seen as a strategic step for Figma to compete with other design platforms that have incorporated their own AI capabilities.
