  1. Added: Figma AI is designed to help you work more efficiently and creatively. Whether you're building a code prototype or working with the Figma agent to explore directions and automate tasks, we're building AI so you can stay in the flow. Learn more about our approach below.
  2. Added: Figma AI is powered by a mix of third-party models and first-party models. We continually evaluate which models are best for specific use cases while balancing quality, speed, and cost. To learn more about our AI capabilities, visit our AI workflows page .
  3. Added: Off-the-shelf models are great generalists, but often aren't built for specialized domains like design. That's why we also build our own first-party models by post-training open models to optimize for design concepts, patterns, and use cases. This helps AI agents better understand Figma's tools and formats, and work with your existing design systems and context on the canvas.
  4. Added: We test and use a variety of models from frontier labs like OpenAI and Google, as well as open-weight models such as Qwen, Inkling, Muse Spark Open, and more. We regularly update the models to ensure Figma AI is powered by the latest technology.
  5. Added: For some AI features, you can experiment with different models through a model selector. Other capabilities, like the Figma agent, automatically select the best model for the task at hand.
  6. Added: You can find more information about the sub-processors behind Figma AI here , and the models currently powering the capabilities here .
  7. Added: With the right training and data, first-party models can outperform frontier models on specific tasks, including design work. To protect your privacy, we take steps to de-identify data we use to train AI models. Here's an overview of the types of data we may use to post-train open models.
  8. Added: Sharing your customer content with Figma for AI model training is optional. Admins can control customer content sharing with a setting. Customer content includes materials created in or uploaded to Figma.
  9. Added: Admins have control over AI content training, which they can adjust with a setting. Admins can turn this setting on or off at any time. This setting varies by your Figma plan type:
  10. Added: For Starter and Professional plans, content training is set to 'on' by default. This is a team level setting and admins can opt-out.
  11. Added: For Organization and Enterprise plans, content training is set to 'off' by default. This is an organization-level setting.
  12. Added: Our customer agreements with Organization and Enterprise plans are typically more complex and include specific requirements and restrictions, which is why we've chosen a different default setting for those plans.
  13. Added: We do not use any data from Figma for Education (K-12) or Figma for Government accounts for model training.
  14. Removed: Figma AI is a collection of features designed to help you work more efficiently and creatively. Whether you're searching for inspiration, exploring multiple directions, or looking to automate tedious tasks, we're building AI so you can stay in your flow. Learn more about our approach below.
  15. Removed: Figma AI is powered by multiple models, including off-the-shelf foundation models and fine-tuned models. We regularly test and assess which models are best for specific use cases while balancing any trade-offs. To learn more about our AI capabilities, visit our AI features page .
  16. Removed: We're proud of the AI features we've built so far, and we see ways to accelerate your work further by developing new models that work more efficiently and effectively with Figma specific concepts and tools. To make these improvements, we need to train models that better understand design concepts and patterns, and Figma's internal formats and structure through Figma content.
  17. Added: When working with third-party companies to process data, we:
  18. Added: Limit how long vendors can store data. We take steps to require our third-party model providers to delete inputs and outputs after processing.
  19. Removed: When working with 3rd party companies to process data, we:
  20. Removed: Limit how long vendors can store data. OpenAI and our other 3rd party model providers store data temporarily, or in some cases not at all, in order to process requests and enable AI features
  21. Removed: We take additional steps to train our models so that they learn general design patterns and Figma-specific concepts and tools-not your content, concepts, and ideas. For example, we de-identify content and redact sensitive information including from text and images.
  22. Removed: Here's an overview of the types of data we may use in our AI approach. To protect your privacy, we take steps to de-identify and aggregate data we use to train AI models.
  23. Removed: We do not use any data from Figma for Education or Figma for Government accounts for model training.
  24. Removed: Sharing your customer content with Figma for AI model training is optional. Admins can control customer content sharing with a new setting. Customer content includes materials created in or uploaded to Figma.
  25. Removed: Admins have control over AI content training, which they can adjust with a setting. Admins can turn this setting on or off at any time. This setting controls Content training:
  26. Removed: This is a team-level setting for Starter and Professional plans and organization-level settings for Organization and Enterprise plans.
  27. Removed: Our customer agreements with Organization and Enterprise are typically more complex and include specific requirements and restrictions, which is why we've chosen a different default setting for those plans.
  28. Removed: Previously, when AI features were in beta, AI feature access could be adjusted within a team or organization's admin settings. As of July 24, 2025, Figma AI features became generally available and this beta setting was removed. Rest assured, on plans where an admin previously disabled access to AI features while in beta, they will remain disabled unless an admin re-enables them. Admins on the Enterprise plan continue to have additional controls to manage AI feature access.
  29. Added: AI features are post-trained with data from public, free Community files, with attribution on Figma's Help Center.
