Figma

Browser-based design and development platform where, in the speaker's words, design and engineering and now AI agents collaborate to ship code.

Figma sells AI or agent tooling, so it has a reason to publish flattering numbers about AI. Its passages stay in the archive and carry this flag.

9 passages, 1 people quoted. Topics: Does AI make developers more productive?, What does AI do across the whole company?, How do coding agents open and merge changes?, How widely do employees use AI?, How is AI used for testing?, How is AI used in code review?, How do leaders push AI adoption?.

the adoption is uneven. We have teams that are very AI-forward and have already transformed their entire workflows and then we have teams that are still experimenting in the earlier acts or have lost confidence
