Connect a design library
Point the agent to your design system so annotations reference your real components, tokens, and naming conventions—not generic placeholders.
Generate annotations for your designs with AI
Add specs, callouts, and documentation notes to your design files with Figma's agent—directly on the canvas in Figma Design. Describe what needs labeling, and the agent handles the rest.
Document faster, stay in your design flow
Figma's agent generates annotations using your actual design context, so documentation happens where your team already works.
Annotate where your design lives
Figma's agent adds specs, notes, and callouts directly to your canvas, using your real layers and components as context. No copying into a separate doc or rebuilding your annotations from scratch.
Cut the busywork, stay in flow
Hand off the tedious labeling—spacing specs, interaction notes, component callouts—and keep your focus on the design decisions that matter. Describe what needs documenting and move on.
Keep your team aligned on specs
Annotations live in the same file your team works in, so developers and stakeholders see the latest documentation alongside the design. Nothing gets lost in a handoff doc.
The features behind your annotations
A closer look at what sets Figma's agent apart, built for the way design teams actually work.
Parallel prompting
Generate annotations for multiple frames at once. Explore different documentation approaches simultaneously without waiting for each to finish.
Shareable threads
Share a thread and your team sees the full prompt, context, and iteration history behind any annotation. No separate handoff needed.
Refine with follow-up prompts
First pass missing something? Adjust with another prompt in the same thread, or try a different annotation style in a parallel one.
Figma feels like a natural extension of my hand. I do my design ideation on the canvas, and now the agent takes it the last mile. With my design libraries connected, I can move from design to code faster than ever before.

Get started with Figma's agent
Open the agent
Select Agents in the left side rail or hit CMD + Enter. Select the frame or component you want to annotate.
Describe your annotations
Tell the agent what to document—spacing specs, interaction states, component notes—and how detailed to go.
Review on the canvas
Check the annotations on your design. Refine in the same thread or start a parallel one to try a different documentation style.
Keep iterating
Everything stays editable, so you can adjust annotations by hand or prompt again until the documentation is complete.

FAQ
An AI annotation generator automatically creates documentation callouts, specs, and notes for your designs based on prompts you provide. Figma's agent does this directly on your canvas in Figma Design, reading your actual layers, components, and design system to generate contextually accurate annotations without manual labeling.
Figma's agent analyzes the selected frame or component on your canvas, then generates annotations based on your prompt. You might ask for spacing specs, interaction notes, or component documentation. The agent places callouts directly on your design using your real layer names and structure.
Figma's agent can generate a range of annotation types: spacing and dimension specs, interaction and state notes, component usage guidelines, accessibility callouts, and general design documentation. The output depends on your prompt and what context you provide about your design system.
Accuracy depends on the clarity of your prompt and how well-structured your design file is. Figma's agent uses your actual layers, component names, and design tokens as context, which improves relevance. Review the output and refine with follow-up prompts to catch anything that needs adjustment.
Figma's agent is available on all paid Figma plans. You'll find it in the left navigation bar in Figma Design. During the current open beta, it doesn't consume AI credits—so it's a good time to explore, experiment, and share your feedback with us.
