What it does

Figma Make turns an idea or existing design frame into an interactive prototype and accepts prompts to refine layout, behavior and interactions.

A useful first task

Build a clickable first draft

Describe one screen and its main interaction, or start from an existing design frame. Use real labels and data lengths.

How to start

  1. Open Figma Make, start from scratch or a Figma Design frame, describe the experience, then test and refine. For editable design drafts, Figma's agent is replacing the legacy First Draft entry point; check account availability.
  2. Describe one screen and its main interaction, or start from an existing design frame. Use real labels and data lengths.
  3. Check the result before relying on it.

Where it falls short

Generated prototypes need layout and usability review, especially with real content and narrow screens. Figma Make and the older First Draft are different products; check which workflow you are using.

What remains your job

Check layout, readability and the complete interaction.
