Figma Partners with Google Cloud to Integrate AI Design Tools
Figma (FIG) has announced a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud (GOOGL) to embed advanced AI capabilities into its design platform. The integration grants Figma's 13 million monthly users access to Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, and Imagen 4 models, accelerating image generation, feature prototyping, and workflow automation.
Early benchmarks show a 50% latency reduction in Figma's 'Make Image' tool, signaling tangible efficiency gains. This follows OpenAI's recent disclosure of Figma's inclusion in ChatGPT's upcoming Apps SDK—a dual-platform AI push that positions Figma at the convergence of design and generative AI.
