The honest brief

Figma AI

AI lives inside the tool designers already use, then pushes real design context straight into code — no rebuild in a separate app.

  • Native to existing Figma files
  • Figma Make produces working prototypes
  • MCP server feeds Cursor/VS Code/Claude
  • First Draft generates editable layouts
  • AI tied to a Figma subscription
  • Generated output still needs polish
  • Newer features rolled out gradually

Magic Patterns

Generates prototypes inside your own design system — imported from Figma, Storybook, or any site — instead of generic AI mockups.

  • Prototypes you can test and hand off
  • Figma and Storybook component import
  • Free tier to start
  • Built for team collaboration
  • Business tier jumps to $100/seat/month
  • Web-only, no desktop app
