Figma, best known for its product design applications, has announced FigJam AI — a new suite of generative AI tools for its collaborative whiteboard service FigJam that creates ready-to-use templates for common design and planning projects. The idea is that FigJam AI can reduce the preparation time needed to manually create these collaborative whiteboard projects from scratch, leaving designers with time to concentrate on more pressing tasks.
FigJam AI also includes Sort, which automatically organizes stickies — the platform’s virtual equivalent of real sticky notes for jotting down ideas — into different groups based on key themes, and Summerize, which creates a summary of information taken from groups of stickies with a single click. These new features can be used alongside Jambot, a ChatGPT-powered FigJam widget that the company rolled out in beta in August.
