Issue with the ai agent in figma design

I appreciate the added AI feature in Figma Design — it’s very helpful.

Recently, however, I encountered the following issue:

The AI agent seems to take too long for simple data filling. In the example of a table with 8 columns and 8 rows, I selected only the options to change the text and the images using the available checkbox options. Despite that, it took around 4 minutes to complete.

Additionally, I noticed that it performed two layers of changes without being instructed to do so. First, it applied the visible changes correctly, but then it replaced the image placeholders with colored circles.

Since I did not want to change the placeholders, and I also forgot to add restrictions for some columns that needed to remain static, I tried to undo the changes. However, because the AI agent seems to run in two iterations, it only stored the last change. As a result, the rollback only restored the state before the image changes, not before the initial data changes.

Since it appears to run multiple iterations under a single instruction, I believe there should be an option to roll back all changes made by the AI agent, not only the latest one. If the agent receives a single instruction, the rollback should undo all changes related to that instruction.

Hi, ​@Moayad Marvanaga! Glad to see you find the agent helpful, and hopefully you didn’t find your experience too disruptive.

 

Just to make sure I’m understanding your points correctly, you observed the following two issues:

  1. It took around 4 minutes to complete the work, which was pretty slow for you.
  2. You had it make changes to columns but forgot to exclude certain columns, but were unable to fully undo these changes because they were run as two, parallel agents - you could only undo one.

 

Does that summarize it well? For the first question, our team is actively working on optimizations to help here. Regarding the second point, did you check to see if there was a previous version of the file you could restore to? Also, was there only one undo button in the chat? I’m going to share your feedback with the team once I’ve got a good complete picture. Thanks!

Thanks for your fast response 

Yes exactly if found the time not very responsible I've tried before in similar task when it also need to calculate hours sum and i don't recall it take that much time not sure if it has something to do with the structure of the table 

Regarding the second point i'm not exactly sure how it happened or if there was exactly 2 parrele agent working on the same task at the same time this my assumption based on what i saw during the data generation first the data changed then the image changed to color all this happen while the section was flashing indicating that the task still in progress. Once it's done i saw only one option to undo changes and as you can see once i undo the changes there are no longer any related history, which is usually occur when it's the only change that ai made, not very sure how it works here i usually either do it once and change the rest manually,

Or i found it very far away from what i expected so i just do it manually 

Kindly not the steps i used is generate content from the provided options -> image and text where already selected so i clicked generate and i didn't add any custom instructions
