I personally think Figma Make is great since I have hired no less than 5 designers to create my layouts and after a month, I still don’t have my UI done.  I don’t really understand designers who say they will get something done and then don’t look work on my project for days (some never even started working) or work 1 hour a day here and there. I tried inexpensive and expensive designers and had the same results: they left me waiting and providing the exact same feedback over and over (wasting my time).

When I discovered Make, I realized I could do a create the screens myself and then, I was super excited I could create actual functional interfaces!  Super cool. I’m becoming a prompter for sure (I’m not a good developer either so this is perfect for people like me with little skills).

After using Make for a few hours: I fired my designer (who wasn’t doing anything anyway) and now I’m doing it myself.  I have developers waiting to see how this turns out (as am I).

ONE NOTE: The response has gotten a lot slower. I’m on Version 149.  The AI makes the same mistakes over and over, which causes delays and prompts to stop making the same mistake… but it keeps making the same mistakes regardless of my prompts.  Yes - I added a guideline to tell AI to avoid doing X but it still does X.  But this is still moving forward faster than my former designers were.

Thanks Figma.

We need to be able to edit make designs as a figma file. I feel like that would be absolutely perfect collaboration client/designer. Until then, it’s a nice toy to play with but I will have to replicate it manually if I want to modify specific parts without re-prompting over and over 

Currently, I found it to be a nice prototyping agent.  However, it stops there.  How can you take that project and export it to add code for a website or app?  What’s the utility if you can’t do so?  

right now, it’s a cool fun little toy, but in terms of utility in a development stack, it’s minimal to non in terms of usage.  I’m starting to feel sorry I paid for it.  

You’re absolutely right.  I paid for it and right now I’m starting to regret it.  Until you can edit your designs or export it according, it’s virtually useless.  

Hello Figma Team!

One thing I would like as an admin of Figma for our organization is the ability to turn Figma Make on or off for individual users. As it stands, it is either accessible for all full users, or disabled for all full users. We currently have is disabled because we don’t want users bypassing our UX Teams by using AI functions instead. But having the flexibility of giving this to our AI Team, or specific users would be great so we could benefit from the feature.

Thanks!

So much potential but still some pretty big bugs/feature needs. The publish function uses old versions of the code (this is a showstopper!) and there is no way to push to GitHub.
