Generate breadcrumb navigation right on your canvas

Create clear, consistent breadcrumb components with AI—directly in Figma Design. Figma's agent builds navigation that matches your design system, so you can focus on the user journey, not the repetitive assembly.

Navigate complexity with less busywork

Breadcrumb navigation keeps users oriented, but building it by hand gets tedious. Let the agent handle the scaffolding while you focus on the flow.

Figma's agent generates breadcrumb variations using your actual design system—real components, tokens, and spacing—so you can evaluate options that are ready to ship, not placeholder wireframes you'll rebuild later.

Cut the busywork, stay in flow

Skip the repetitive work of duplicating components, adjusting separators, and aligning text. Describe what you need, and the agent builds breadcrumbs that follow your system's patterns while you focus on the bigger navigation picture.

Align your team, close the loop

Breadcrumb components land directly in your shared file, so developers and stakeholders see the same source of truth. No screenshots, no separate handoffs—just navigation that's ready for review and implementation.

The features behind the navigation

A closer look at what sets Figma's agent apart, built for the way design teams actually work.

    Connect a design library

    Point the agent to your design system and it generates breadcrumbs using your real components, typography tokens, and spacing variables—not generic placeholders.

    Parallel prompting

    Explore multiple breadcrumb structures at once—different separator styles, truncation approaches, or responsive behaviors—without waiting for one to finish before starting another.

    Shareable threads

    Share the thread and your team sees the full prompt history behind each breadcrumb variation. Context travels with the component, no separate documentation needed.

    Skills

    Package your breadcrumb generation workflow into a reusable skill. Run it again for new pages or hand it to teammates so everyone builds navigation the same way.

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. Add a frame to the canvas where you want your breadcrumbs to land.

  • Describe the breadcrumbs

    Tell the agent the page hierarchy, separator style, and any truncation rules. Point it to your design library so it uses your real components.

  • Review on the canvas

    Check the generated breadcrumbs on your canvas. Refine in the same thread or start a parallel one to explore a different structure.

  • Keep iterating

    Prompt again to adjust spacing, add icons, or try responsive variants. Everything stays editable, so you can fine-tune by hand when needed.

FAQ

An AI breadcrumb generator creates navigation components that show users their location within a site hierarchy. Figma's agent builds these directly on your canvas using your design system's components and tokens. You describe the page structure and style, and the agent generates ready-to-use breadcrumbs without manual assembly.

You describe the hierarchy, separator style, and any special requirements in a prompt. Figma's agent references your connected design library to generate breadcrumbs using your actual components, typography, and spacing. The result lands on your canvas as fully editable layers you can refine or hand off to development.

Effective breadcrumbs show a clear path from the homepage to the current page, using consistent separators and concise labels. Figma's agent can generate multiple structures for you to compare—different truncation approaches for long paths, responsive variants, or icon treatments—so you can evaluate what works best for your users.

Yes. When you connect a design library in Figma, the agent generates breadcrumbs using your real components, tokens, and variables. This means the output matches your existing patterns and is ready to use—no rebuilding or restyling required after generation.

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.
