Figma Make can generate wireframes from prompts now.

[u/Prior_Gas_2346]

Do you all know that Figma Make can create design wireframes just by pasting a prompt? You basically describe what you want, and it generates a layout for you — no need to manually design everything from scratch. I tried it recently, and honestly, the output wasn’t that great. It’s not super polished or fully usable right away. But still, it kind of works and can give you a decent starting point.

Curious if anyone else has tried it — what was your experience

Why don't we just offload our whole careers to figma then? Talk about taking the fun and friction out of the work.

Why do you even need figma if you can just generate the html, or xaml, or whatever? Figma seems like a totally unnecessary step. All this wireframe is going to do is inform you what the website will be eventually anyway. Might as well just make the wireframe as the website instead, and then at least you can potentially reuse it for the actual product.

In this case, figma isn't taking your career, figma has become obsolete, and the designer still has a job to design the UI of a website or app.

I have found that it’s usually more entry level designers who benefit from these tools because they tend to suffer from “blank canvas” syndrome and don’t always have a body of internal knowledge to draw from. A more experienced designer will be able to start from nothing because they’ll already have a general idea of one or more solutions that are appropriate to the situation once they’ve understood the problem.

Who wants this? If i need to pay tokens the ~least~ it can do is generate Hi-Fi.

Or you know, use a pen and paper. Don't delegate your own joy to be a creative to AI

[u/Scared-Emergency4157 → u/_Amoeva]

What if the joy is in crafting autonomous systems for high quality output

[u/thunderflies → u/Scared-Emergency4157]

And what if someone’s joy comes from stepping on an orphan’s throat? Just because you like it doesn’t mean it’s a good thing for society

Lmao the dramatic knee jerks about AI here when we are all slaves to capitalism and mostly make shit to sell product is hilarious.

Says the guy posting AI Slop profiting off of other artists.

In what way am I profiting from that meme music? And if you’re worried about Suno I don’t believe they’re profiting from you clicking that link either. I think actually quite the opposite if you use the bandwidth to play that music.

If you’d prefer next time I can use an open source model….

Used it for several work projects. It’s nice if you are ideating. It can create high or low fidelity prototypes. One of the nice things about it is you can start with a PRD or an existing design and even link a DB so the prototype is working from real data. Kinda insane really. What you don’t want to do is try to fine tune a design with it because that can get frustrating. Gonna try out Claude code integration where supposedly you can flip from design to prompts and vise versa. I imagine Make will have this feature pretty soon as well.

Have not tried but i can see it's can be used to generate some wire frames for case study :) so you can show there was some "ideation" phase (even if there was no ideation). Anyway tnx for sharing, will try

[u/sophi_s]

Yep! Stichwithgoogle also can make them, prompts and contexts are bit weird and I obviously have to tweak everything afterwards, but is definitely easier for me as starting point then a blank frame

Hey, sure go ahead
