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
v0
Emits real shadcn/ui + Tailwind React code you can paste into a project — production primitives, not throwaway mockup markup.
- Uses production shadcn/ui primitives
- Copy-paste into existing projects
- Tight Vercel deploy integration
- Fast iteration in v0 projects
- Opinionated toward shadcn/Tailwind
- Single tuned model, not configurable
- Best within the Vercel ecosystem
- Complex apps need hand-finishing
