Anthropic's Claude now generates editable diagrams directly in FigJam workspaces.
The Gist
AI-powered diagrams. Claude generates editable FigJam diagrams from written inputs or files.
Workflow integration. Diagrams move directly from conversations into collaborative FigJam workspaces.
Team alignment. Design, product and engineering teams gain faster alignment through shared visual workflows.
Figma integrated Anthropic's Claude AI into FigJam on Jan. 26, enabling teams to generate editable diagrams from prompts, PDFs, images or screenshots.
According to Figma, the integration helps teams visualize ideas collaboratively rather than keeping AI conversations siloed. Anthropic also released a UI kit for designing MCP apps for Claude, intended to simplify building AI experiences within the Figma ecosystem.
The companies assert the integration benefits product, design and engineering teams by reducing context-switching and enabling faster alignment through shared visual artifacts.

Recent Figma Developments
Figma executed several transformative initiatives in 2025 signaling its evolution from design platform to full-stack digital experience provider. In June 2025, the company acquired Payload, a US-based open-source headless CMS, positioning itself to extend beyond design into deployment.
Figma announced its IPO filing on July 1, 2025, priced at $33 per share, raising $1.2 billion. Shares surged roughly 158% on the first trading day, pushing market valuation near $50 billion.
In May 2025, Figma launched Figma Make, an AI-powered tool transforming designs into functional prototypes through natural language. Figma serves 13 million monthly active users and counts many Fortune 500 companies as customers.
AI Reshaping Design Workflows
Generative AI is transforming how cross-functional teams collaborate on design and prototyping—shifting from specialized technical tasks to accessible, prompt-driven processes.
Leading design platforms now enable users to generate production-ready code through natural language prompts. Figma Make bridges static design and functional UI through conversational interfaces.
AI-powered image editing and resolution enhancement
Cross-team collaboration enabling non-technical members to create prototypes
Webflow launched AI-powered App Gen capabilities that integrate with existing design systems, empowering non-technical teams to build sophisticated websites.
Enterprise Adoption Accelerating
A 2024 McKinsey survey found 65% of organizations now regularly implement generative AI in at least one business area, up from one-third the previous year. For marketing teams, 80% used generative AI for content generation in the past year.
A cloud-based design and collaboration platform founded in 2012, Figma targets product, design and engineering teams seeking scalable, collaborative workflows. The platform offers tools for the full product design lifecycle, including FigJam for whiteboarding, Figma Design for UI/UX and Dev Mode for design-to-code handoffs. The Anthropic integration leverages the model context protocol to enable seamless communication between Claude and FigJam.
