I TRIED FIGMA MAKE — HERE'S WHAT IT GETS RIGHT (AND WHAT'S STILL BROKEN)
Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter
Figma Make is a generative AI tool that converts prompts and screenshots into functional code aimed at streamlining designer-developer workflows. Despite being buggy and limited in its current state, the tool shows potential for enabling faster prototyping, seamless handoffs, and allowing designers to fix minor bugs themselves, though it currently makes unwanted design decisions without user input. While AI integration may blur the lines between design and development roles, designers must remain responsible for final decisions and avoid the risk of design homogenization.
