Figma AI Updates: ConFig 2024 Highlights

In this video, EO covers the major AI updates announced at Figma’s ConFig 2024 event. The updates include Figma AI, Figma Slides, and other new features aimed at enhancing the design experience. Figma AI introduces powerful capabilities such as generating design elements from prompts, finding similar components, replacing content, and creating prototypes automatically.

The video also highlights improvements in usability, such as the Suggest Auto Layout feature, integration with iOS 18 and Material 3 kits, and enhanced developer mode with new views and statuses. The updates are designed to make Figma more efficient and collaborative for both designers and developers.
