Specs are here and they can do a lot
→ Create data reports, PRDs, generate hand-off context
→ Bring in outside context with an agent
→ Turn rough ideas into a detailed spec
→ Send it to a coding agent using Figma’s MCP server
→ Build a Code Layer on top and refine
There’s a familiar moment when a prototype starts coming together: “I’d actually use this.” And then - where does the data live? How do people log in? Who updates the content?
Make now has a Payload backend, with CMS, database, media, APIs, auth, and more. Figma hosts it all.

One idea from Dylan’s opening keynote has stayed with me: building to think and building to ship.
With code live on the canvas, it becomes another material to design with. Bring in a prototyping playground from GitHub, make changes, and open a PR all from the canvas.

When we announced Code Layers earlier this year, we wanted design and code to live side by side so you can collaborate with code directly on the Figma canvas.
Excited to share it's now rolling out in open beta!

Instantly preview all of your code layers riffs to refine down touch, swipe, and other complex interaction gestures that you want to nail down the details on!

Payload is now in Figma!
Available to everyone in Figma Make, so you can go from prototype to production all in one place.

Introducing Specs! A new medium for markdown on the Figma canvas.
You can think of Specs as a container for your context. Use MCP, Github, etc to move context in/out of Figma and across the Figma platform.
Specs is rolling out in open beta over the next few weeks!

We launched the @figma agent out of beta today!
Check out this blog post covering some great uses for it:

Huge congrats to many people who worked on this (too many to name) — so proud of all the work under the surface that went into this one!
This. Do try it out. figma.bot/FigmaDownloads

Dev Mode is now available in Codex! You can see what’s ready for dev with the Figma plugin and compare to local builds with this new MCP functionality.

@figma's MCP server keeps getting better. You can now pull the raw code being used for all the shader effects in canvas, via the MCP server. Here's a quick little demo of me implementing a CRT shader effect on an existing app. Figma also comes with maaany shaders out of the box!
