6thWave: AI News Hub

Figma has announced several new features at its Config conference, including a significant UI redesign, new generative AI tools, and built-in slideshow functionality. The redesign aims to make the platform more user-friendly and future-proof, featuring a new toolbar, rounded corners, and 200 new icons. This is Figma’s third major redesign since its closed beta launch. The new UI is currently available in a limited beta, with a waitlist for interested users. The generative AI tools are designed to help users quickly start projects, such as creating app designs from simple text prompts. Figma AI can also generate images and prototype apps, enhancing productivity for both novice and experienced users. These AI features are free during the beta phase, which runs until the end of the year, but may have usage limits. Figma has clarified that its AI models are trained using public data and not on private user files. Additionally, Figma is introducing Figma Slides, a built-in tool for creating and sharing presentations, which will also be available in open beta. This feature allows real-time design tweaks and interactive elements for audience engagement. Figma Slides and the new AI tools aim to streamline workflows and foster creativity among its users.
