Figma 发布新功能，为平台上的 Agent 定义工作方式

设计平台 Figma 在其首次于印度举办的 Config 活动上宣布推出一款新的、基于 Markdown 的编辑器，帮助企业定义自身设计，接入设计与代码库，并与无头内容管理系统 Payload 集成。借助其中部分功能，该公司希望为其自有及第三方 Agent 提供可遵循的定义，使其在利用 AI 进行创作时能更好地遵守品牌设计规则。

该公司推出了一项名为 Figma Specs 的新功能。这是一款 Markdown 编辑器，允许用户以简单方式定义设计语言。该文档可在 Figma 中进行设计时作为团队和 Agent 的参考。Specs 既可以作为 Figma 中的独立文件存在，也可以与画布共存。除充当文本编辑器外，用户还可以引用其他 Figma 元素，例如画布中的元素，并嵌入 FigJam 图表、代码层和设计稿。

此外，团队还可以引入更多设计相关上下文，包括设计库、代码库及指南，以管理设计系统的上下文。Agent 同样可以参考这一集中化系统，以遵循相关规则。

在过去一周中，该公司已将其画布内 Agent 向更广泛的用户群体开放。不过，鉴于 AI 具有非确定性特征，公司正提供工具，以引导其获得更可预测的结果。

Figma 还开放了 Code Layers 功能，该功能可在画布中的设计里加入编码能力，从而制作更具交互性的原型。该公司此前于 6 月以私测形式宣布了这项功能。在本周的印度活动上，公司将该功能开放为公开测试版，让更多用户试用。用户还可以要求 Agent 将设计转化为代码，或修改部分代码以迭代原型。

“我们将 Figma 视为软件团队决定要构建和发布什么产品的场所。因此，我认为，在理解 AI 改变了什么、又带来了什么能力时，需要记住的关键一点是构建能力，”Figma 首席设计官 Loredana Crisan 在接受 TechCrunch 采访时表示。“如今生成的代码行数是过去的 17 倍。但如果看发布量，发布次数仅增长至 1.3 倍。许多代码实际上并不一定是为了发布而构建的，而是为了探索产品本身是什么。它是为设计而构建的。”

该公司表示，其 MCP 目前还支持超过 20 种新工具，其中包括 Open Code、Dia、Grok Bot 以及印度 AI 初创公司 Sarvam。

去年，Figma 收购了开源无头 CMS Payload。如今，该公司正将其与 Figma Make 产品集成，用于生成动态网站并直接管理内容。公司表示，Payload 的下载量在过去 12 个月内增长了六倍。

该公司于去年年底在印度开设了首个办公室，配备销售、合作伙伴、市场进入及产品支持职能。Figma 表示，按用户数量计算，印度是其在美国以外最大的市场。该公司指出，该平台正与印度孟买证券交易所上市公司前 100 名中的 40% 开展合作。

Design platform Figma announced a new Markdown-based editor to help define a company’s design, bring in design and code libraries, and integrate with the Payload headless content management system during the company’s first Config event in India. Through some of these features, the company aims to provide a definition for its own and third-party agents to adhere to a brand’s design rules better while creating with AI.

The company debuted a new feature called Figma Specs, which is a markdown editor that lets users define their design language in a simple way. The document can serve as a reference for teams and agents while designing in Figma. Specs can exist as a standalone file in Figma or can co-exist within the canvas. Apart from acting as a text editor, users can reference other Figma elements, such as elements on the canvas and embed FigJam diagrams, code layers, and designs.

What’s more, teams can bring in more context about design, including design libraries, code libraries, and guidelines to manage context for the design system. Agents can also refer to this centralized system to adhere to rules.

In the past week, the company made its agent on canvas available to a wider user base. However, given the non-deterministic nature of AI, the company is providing tools to steer it towards more predictable outcomes.

Figma also made its code layers feature, which adds coding to designs on canvas for more interactive prototypes. The company announced this feature in private beta back in June. At its India event this week, the company is making the function available in public beta to let more users test it out. Users can also ask the agent to turn a design into code or change a part of the code to iterate on a prototype.

“We see Figma as the place where software teams come to decide what they build and ship. And so for that, I think one of the key things to keep in mind about what AI has changed and what it made available is the ability to build,” Figma’s chief design officer Loredana Crisan told TechCrunch. “There are 17-times more lines of code being produced today than in the past. But when you’re looking at releases, only 1.3-times more releases. A lot of that code actually is not necessarily built to ship, but really built to discover what the product is. It’s built to design.”

The company said it is also supporting over 20 new tools with its MCP, including Open Code, Dia, Grok Bot, and Indian AI startup Sarvam.

Last year, Figma acquired open-source headless CMS Payload. Now, the company is integrating it with its Figma Make product for generating dynamic websites and directly managing content. The company said that Payload’s downloads have increased sixfold in the last 12 months.

The company opened its first office in India late last year with sales, partnership, go-to-market, and product support functions. Figma said that the country is its biggest market in terms of users outside the United States. The company noted that the platform works with 40% of India’s top 100 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange.
