Figma Launches Prompt to Edit Alpha: Use Natural-Language to Manipulate Designs

1. What it does
   • Lets you select frames, components, or layers in Figma and apply changes via written prompts.
   • Handles operations like bulk editing, inserting/replacing content, resizing, or generating dark/light mode variations.
2. Why it matters (Technical & UX implications)
   • Reduces repetitive manual tasks by applying consistent edits across multiple layers at once.
   • Accelerates workflow: faster design iteration, prototyping, and adapting designs for different modes/devices.
3. Who can access it
   • Currently in alpha, limited to 5,000 paid-plan users.
   • Admins must apply through a submission form for their team/org.
   • Not available for free/Starter or Education accounts.
4. Best practices for using prompts
   • Use narrow selections for predictable results.
   • Write explicit prompts with references to style names, colors, or sizes.
   • Rely on undo/redo to refine changes.
   • Particularly powerful for design-system workflows.
5. Current stage and roadmap
   • Still in alpha: features are limited and evolving based on feedback.
   • Free to use during alpha testing.
   • Broader release plans, pricing, and feature set will be determined later.
