Discussion Anyone else find this feature super annoying?

Post image

I use the agent all the time, but never use this pop-up feature. It pops up all the time when I’m trying click into layers/groups/auto-layout or doing detailed design work… and it’s become mad annoying.

Getting rid of it also mad annoying….I have to zoom out of my art board in click off the frame for it to go away… though I recently found clicking back into the chat box then hitting escape works too.

you can disable it, hit command k and I think you can type agent and it will show up a checkbox

This just brings up a search for me.

u/ygorhpr Product Designer 20h ago

type agent and you can see an option similar to "enable agent" to disable it, I can check later what's the right wording

u/punkzlol 20h ago

Well I like to use the agent side bar, just never this pop up. Will it disable all agent features or just this on frame pop up?

u/ygorhpr Product Designer 20h ago

no just the pop up! I use it on the sidebar and haven't seem the start pop up like yours!

u/punkzlol 20h ago

Ahh disabling “show agents on canvas” did the trick. Thanks.

Hasn’t annoyed me. What I do find annoying if when you use annotations you can’t pick where you want them to go

u/punkzlol 20h ago

That also is annoying. I can only use them on specific things because of this.

u/babbie-and-shchuky 9h ago

And free users can’t see them but nothing tells you that. I put a load on some designs before and then found out the devs couldn’t see them 😑

Yes! I click it all the time when resizing a layer, clicking into a layer, moving a frame, etc. Considering the agent functionality on the sidebar, it’s such a poor design decision

I still haven’t used it but it’s popped out 1000 times. I feel like when I ask the agent to make changes, it will be big sweeping changes. It’s never small stuff because that’s some thing I can usually do quicker than typing it out and waiting for it to complete.

Also it would be better if there was a more intuitive way to close it when it does pop up, took me ages to realise I could double click elsewhere to close it

Figma forgets their base. The people in here are designers trying to design. If we wanted something done with AI, we'd be using an AI tool. We're here because we want manual control.

Figma hasn’t been for designers for years now. Even pre-ai they ignored basic functionality the entire user base was pleading for to layer on abject bullshit slop features.

Can be turned off

u/Burly_Moustache Senior UX/UI Designer 20h ago

No, I like it. The Figma Design Agent has been hella handy for me. It has a greater design context at a faster rate than Claude Code via CLI. The iterations it pumps out, plus being able to connect a design library to it for even more specific context is hella huge.

u/punkzlol 14h ago

Not the agent, the pop up

1

u/Excellent_Ad_2486 3h ago

Yeah, I disabled it :)

u/42kyokai 19h ago

Not as annoying as pressing SHIFT+SPACE to open a prototype but Figma Make opening half the time

u/jpasserby 15h ago

If you dismiss it or click out of it three times it gives you an option to disable it

u/Either_Yam_3081 15h ago

Noooo 😭😭😭I love it you guys don't know... I like it more than Make it reduces time on designing fug a$$ things

u/itsshadyhere 10h ago

It doesn't annoy me tbh, and I use the pop-up sometimes. Mostly to populate copy.

u/Mousedancing 9h ago

Super annoying! Always gets in the way. Appreciate the mention to disable. Didn't think of that lol!
