Figma

Your design system has an AI voice now, powered by Figma

Design teams field dozens of requests daily for assets, component specs, and file access. Your AI agent taps directly into Figma's API to retrieve file structures, export images, pull design tokens, and answer component questions in real-time conversation, so designers stay in flow.

Chosen by 800+ global brands across industries

Design intelligence at conversation speed

Your AI agent speaks Figma fluently, retrieving file structures, exporting assets, reading comments, and surfacing design token values without designers lifting a finger.

Use Cases

Design collaboration, automated

See how product teams use AI agents to surface Figma design data, answer asset requests, and keep cross-functional stakeholders informed without interrupting designers.

Instant Asset Exports for Marketing Teams

A marketer messages your AI agent asking for the latest hero banner in PNG format. The agent identifies the correct Figma file and frame using the Discover Resources endpoint, renders it at 2x resolution via the Render Images API, and returns the download link. The marketer gets their asset in seconds. Designers never context-switch out of their current work.

Developer Design Token Sync on Demand

A front-end developer needs updated color and typography values before starting a sprint. Your AI agent extracts design tokens from the latest Figma file, returns the exact hex codes, font families, and spacing values in a clean format. The developer copies values directly into code. No Slack thread, no meeting, no waiting for a design handoff document.

Cross-Team Design Review Summaries

A product manager preparing for a stakeholder meeting asks for a summary of feedback on the latest mockup. Your AI agent retrieves all comments from the Figma file, groups them by thread, and presents a digest with author names and key discussion points. The PM walks into the meeting fully informed. No time spent scrolling through comment threads manually.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AI agent retrieve data from my Figma files?

The agent uses Figma's REST API to fetch file JSON, node structures, and metadata. When someone asks about a design, the agent calls the Get File endpoint with the file key, retrieves the simplified document tree, and returns relevant details like page names, frames, components, and their properties. All data is fetched live from Figma.

Can the agent export specific layers or frames as images?

Yes. The agent uses Figma's Render Images endpoint to export any node as PNG, SVG, JPG, or PDF. You specify the node IDs (or the agent discovers them from the file tree), choose format and scale, and the agent returns temporary download URLs. Exports support scaling up to 4x for retina-quality assets.

What Figma permissions does Tars need to function?

Tars requests OAuth scopes for files:read, file_comments:write, file_dev_resources:read, file_dev_resources:write, and webhooks:write. These allow reading file data and comments, managing dev resources, and setting up webhooks. You authorize via Figma's standard OAuth flow and can revoke access anytime from your Figma account settings.

Does Tars store copies of my Figma design files?

No. The agent queries Figma's API in real-time during each conversation. File structures, component data, and image exports are fetched live and used only to respond to the current request. Tars does not maintain a local cache or database of your design files.

Can the agent access design tokens and variables from my Figma files?

Yes. The agent can extract design tokens including colors, typography, spacing, border-radius, and shadows from your Figma file styles and variables. It can also convert those tokens into Tailwind CSS configuration format. For published variables, Enterprise plan access is required by Figma's API.

How is this different from Figma's built-in Dev Mode?

Dev Mode is a visual inspection tool inside Figma's editor. Tars AI Agents make design data conversational and accessible outside of Figma, through WhatsApp, your website, or Slack. Non-designers can ask plain-language questions about components, tokens, or file status without needing a Figma seat or knowing how to navigate the tool.

Can the agent post or manage comments on Figma files?

Yes. The agent can add new comments to files, reply to existing comment threads, and add emoji reactions. It can also retrieve all comments with their positions, authors, and replies. This lets team members leave design feedback or ask questions through the AI agent without opening Figma.

What happens if someone requests a file the agent does not have access to?

The agent respects Figma's permission model. If the authenticated account lacks access to a file, the API returns a 404 error. The agent communicates this clearly to the requester and suggests verifying the file URL or requesting access from the file owner. No unauthorized data is ever exposed.
