5 months ago I broke down Figma's new AI onboarding. They're back with a new iteration! The most interesting part: 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀. An updated breakdown 👇 In the last iteration, an AI input form was presented side-by-side with pre-built usecase templates. This makes sense, they both solve the cold start problem of helping users go from from 0 → .5 (they don't get users to 1 yet). I wondered if, in the future, AI entry points and templates would merge. With this new iteration, Figma has essentially made templates from pre-written, use case prompts! Templates are great at presenting use cases (push). Prompting is great at capturing intent (pull). This experience is starting to have the best of both worlds, where the entry point into prompting is structured and easy to understand, but I can still edit the prompt to fit my intent. I like this and I think it points to a strong vision for AI-generated getting-started experiences (rather than just throwing me into an input). Of course, templates still play a big role for Figma and Figma has a huge community with tons of helpful resources. But now AI has a much larger in-product entry point than templates. I could imagine other tools taking a similar approach!
