At this year’s Config conference, web interface design app Figma unveiled a major redesign and a suite of new AI-powered tools to simplify and accelerate design workflows. This marks Figma’s third major overhaul, introducing a new visual style with rounded corners, an updated toolbar, and 200 new icons. Figma’s foray into AI brings Figma-specific tolls akin to other apps’ “draft an email” features. These AI capabilities aim to streamline everyday tasks, such as an “AI-enhanced” asset search and auto-generated text replacing the standard Lorem ipsum placeholder.

Figma just embraced AI in a big way

Whether they are intended for virtual and artificial reality (VR/AR) applications or to actually assist those with vision problems, there seems to be a pair designed exclusively for that task.

We’ve talked for months about how Apple will put its own spin on AI features for the iPhone via iOS 18. More recently, we learned that all the new AI features Apple plans to unveil at WWDC 2024 will be branded as “Apple Intelligence.”
That’s a brilliant and lucky way to turn “AI” into an Apple-branded product, and it’s something Apple’s rivals can’t match. However, most people will probably not use “Apple Intelligence” as much when discussing the iPhone’s AI capabilities. “AI” will continue to mean artificial intelligence for all of us.
