I love all the Sanrio details that are scattered about @figma rn... (I'm just finding out about all these things today, same as y'all) Peep my favs here:

Check out this @figma agent use case. Ask it to pull in slides from one of your Figma Slides decks into Figma Design, then ask it to apply an effects shader to all the images in the deck, and send back to Figma Slides!

This week my team at @figma rented an empty gallery and filled it with our own art: paintings, stained glass, sculpture, clothing, shader projections, a DJ set, IRL prototyping, video art, and more! It feels so good to work with creatives, and for creatives. 💗

If you didn't get to attend our AfterImage NYC / Figma for Edu events last week, we recorded the gallery spaces live of the work on display and set them to lo-fi beats (so you can study to)! These are student/educator-made animations made with @figma Motion and shaders.

“designing much faster than the others” — this so daft and makes it clear they don’t understand design at all. “Designing fast” (or slow) is just not a thing. If you conflate “producing ui by piecing together stuff” and “design” then the former (which is a form of assembly-line practice) can surely be fast or slow. What makes the practice of design challenging is not how to put a ui or poster together, it’s what the pieces are, what the message is, what is being communicated, how it all works together. So many of today’s “design” AI tools focus almost exclusively on the production part, on putting stuff together. I’d love to see an AI design tool that forms a deep understanding of a problem over the course of days or months and works like a creative partner. Call me on my bullshit, thinks about the whole, isn’t concerned really about the final arrangement of elements as much as it would understand the story and the message.

it feels like people are conflating design/design explorations with shipping/production. even though the latter is a likely end goal, the importance of @figma (and IMO any design tool) is/has always been for the former. it's being able to explore all the possibilities in an unconstrained space, lay them out in a shared place to make decisions, iterate/riff together and eventually communicate the what/why/how of your ideas and solutions

dear algo connect me with cool founders and builders in nyc so i can invite them to my party (open bar 😎) i’m new to nyc help (also i’ve been going to the places you guys recommended)

Using the agent for motion in @figma is super helpful, helps you see the idea, then you can just tweak the timeline. There are additional starter prompts including this one, here:
