Figma announces new agent controls, opens Code Layers beta
Luis Cabral ·
Figma today announced new features to define how agents work on its platform and opened its Code Layers feature in open beta for designers and developers, according to TechCrunch. The move positions Figma to formalize agent behavior and governance as AI-powered assistants proliferate in modern design workflows across teams. It also signals a push to bridge design and development by making code-aware layers available to more users across the ecosystem.
TechCrunch reports the update centers on giving teams clearer control over what agents can do inside files and projects, while Code Layers broadens testing to collect feedback ahead of wider availability. TechCrunch did not specify timing for general release. Watch for Figma to share documentation, early partner integrations, and a roadmap for enterprise controls and GA dates. [Developing.
