Web Marketing Moneyball: How Web Operations Drive Marketing ROI
The Gist
- Integrated design-code workflow. Teams can visually edit production code in Figma Make.
- Enhanced collaboration tools. Users branch, commit and share changes with development workflows.
- Designer empowerment. Designers with codebase access can directly influence shipped product, improving iteration speed.
Figma is pushing designers deeper into engineering territory, launching tools that let them edit production code without leaving the canvas.
The company on May 28 introduced new capabilities for Figma Make, its AI-powered prototyping tool, that allow users to visually edit production codebases from within the Figma environment. The update, available in limited beta for Mac desktop users, adds direct visual editing, annotation-based prompting, Git workflow support and pull request creation.
According to Figma, the features aim to close the gap between design and code tools by letting designers connect to their company's codebase, select elements, adjust properties and have an AI agent locate and modify the relevant code. The beta will not consume AI credits during testing, with pricing details expected later.
The update targets designers who already have codebase access. Figma said it is working to simplify setup for non-technical users over time.

Recent Figma News
Figma has rapidly evolved from a design collaboration platform into a broader AI-powered product company. It acquired open-source headless CMS Payload in June 2025, then went public on the NYSE on July 31, 2025, raising $1.2 billion at $33 per share before closing its debut at $115.50 — a 158% surge that pushed its valuation near $50 billion.
The IPO followed the May 2025 launch of Figma Make, which has since exited beta and expanded with custom MCP connector support and six certified integrations including Amplitude, Box and Dovetail.
Financially, Figma's momentum is accelerating. Q4 FY2025 revenue hit $303.8 million, up 40% year over year, with Figma Make weekly active users growing more than 70% quarter over quarter. Full-year FY2025 revenue crossed $1 billion for the first time at $1.056 billion, and Q1 2026 revenue grew 46% to $333.4 million as the company raised full-year guidance to $1.422B–$1.428B.
On the product side, Figma integrated Anthropic's Claude into FigJam in January, enabling teams to generate editable diagrams from prompts, PDFs and images. The company also acquired AI-native creative platform Weavy, rebranded as Figma Weave, to bolster generative image, video and motion capabilities. Serving 13 million monthly active users, Figma's convergence of design and CMS capabilities reflects a broader shift toward unified digital experience platforms.
