Hey Figma folks — quick reality check question.
I’m seeing more teams use AI-assisted steps (idea generation, asset creation, quick variations, copy, etc.) inside the design process. The problem is: when AI touches even one step, it gets surprisingly hard to answer:
“What did the human actually create?”
…and in a collab, who deserves credit / payment for what?
I’d love to hear real workflows (not theory). If you’ve dealt with any of these, can you reply with what you do?
1) The “client/legal” moment
Have you ever been asked (by a client, manager, platform, or teammate)
“Is this AI?” / “Can you prove your process?”
-
What did you show them (versions, file history, screenshots, docs, Loom, etc.)?
2) The messy collaboration moment
In a multi-person file, when AI is involved, how do you handle credit/payment?
-
Split evenly?
-
“Who did the final layout wins”?
-
Track changes/versions?
-
Something else?
3) The Figma-native question
What’s the minimum evidence trail you wish Figma had built-in for AI-assisted work?
Examples: prompt/decision log, stronger version attribution, export provenance, per-layer history, etc.
If you want to make it easy, just reply with:
-
Your role (solo / in-house / agency / freelance)
-
Your answer in 1–2 lines to any of the 3 questions above
I’ll summarize the most common patterns back in this thread later (so everyone can benefit).
Quick poll: Which is harder for you?
A) Proving authorship/process
B) Splitting credit/payment in collabs
C) Both
