Building AI feedback flow via Figma comments

Figma Buddy demo video thumbnail

Overview

Designers often step out of Figma to get AI feedback, pasting images into ChatGPT or other tools for critique. While this works, it disrupts their creative flow and separates design from reflection.

Figma Buddy explores how AI can exist inside the design process rather than outside it. By allowing users to comment @buddy within Figma, designers can receive contextual feedback on hierarchy, typography, layout, and usability without leaving their workspace.

This project began as a proof of concept to test how AI can understand frame context, interpret visual data, and provide structured, conversational design critique directly in Figma comments.
