Explore more dropdown variations in higher fidelity

Generate real, editable dropdown components on your shared canvas, built with your design system from the start.

Generate with your design system

Figma's agent builds dropdown menus using your real components, tokens, and variables. Every option, state, and style matches your system—so you're exploring variations you can actually ship, not placeholders to rebuild.

Cut the busywork, stay in flow

Skip the repetitive work of duplicating frames, adding options, and wiring states. Describe the dropdown you need and let the agent handle the scaffolding while you focus on the design decisions that matter.

Align your team from the start

Dropdowns generate in the same file your team works in. Everyone sees the same component, same options, same states—so feedback happens in context and nothing gets lost in a handoff.

The features behind your dropdowns

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

    Connect your design library

    Point the agent to your design library so every dropdown it generates uses your real components, tokens, and styles—ready to use, not rebuild.

    Shareable threads

    Share a thread and your team sees the full prompt, context, and iteration history behind any dropdown. No separate handoff needed.

    Package workflows as skills

    Turn your dropdown generation workflow into a reusable skill. Run it again with a command whenever you need a new menu component.

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 your canvas to work in.

  • Describe your dropdown

    Tell the agent what kind of dropdown you need—options, states, behavior. Point it to your design library so it uses your real components.

  • Review on the canvas

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

  • Keep iterating

    Prompt again to add states, adjust options, or try new variants. Turn the workflow into a reusable skill for next time.

FAQ

An AI dropdown generator creates dropdown menu components from a text description. You describe what you need—a country selector, a settings menu, a navigation dropdown—and the AI builds the component for you. With Figma's agent, these dropdowns generate directly on your canvas using your real design system, so they're ready to use immediately.

You describe the dropdown you want in plain language—the type of menu, the options it should contain, the states it needs. The agent interprets your prompt and generates a complete component on your canvas. In Figma, this means using your connected design library, so the output matches your existing components and tokens.

Yes. Figma's agent can generate realistic dropdown options based on your description. Ask for a list of countries, product categories, or user settings, and the agent populates the menu with appropriate options. You can refine the list with follow-up prompts or edit the text directly on your canvas.

An AI dropdown generator saves time on repetitive component work. Instead of manually duplicating frames, adding text, and wiring states, you describe what you need and get a working component. With Figma's agent, the dropdown uses your real design system and stays fully editable, so you maintain control over the final result.

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.
