One of the biggest limitations I currently see with Figma’s AI-generated layouts is the lack of support for truly interlocked, overlapping, and dynamic section structures.
At the moment, most generated websites tend to feel very block-based. Even when the typography, colors, branding, imagery, and overall visual direction are completely different, the underlying page structure often ends up looking very similar: one clearly separated section after another, stacked vertically in a predictable way.
What is missing is stronger support for layouts where sections visually interact with each other.
For example:
-
content from the next section beginning before the previous section has fully ended
-
images, typography, panels, or background elements crossing section boundaries
-
layered compositions instead of isolated horizontal blocks
-
asymmetrical transitions between sections
-
elements that visually connect multiple sections
-
editorial-style layouts with intentional overlap and spatial tension
-
more freedom for elements to break out of their parent section or grid when the composition benefits from it
I would describe this as support for interlocked, overlapping, layered, or dynamic layouts.
This is something I would personally prioritize quite highly for the Figma AI/Agent experience, because it has a major impact on how original a generated design feels. Right now, many AI-generated websites can look different at the surface level, but structurally they still feel almost identical.
Better support for section overlap, cross-section positioning, layering, controlled overflow, and more expressive composition would make generated designs feel significantly less templated and much closer to work created by experienced designers.
The goal should not simply be to generate different styling on top of the same layout system, but to allow the underlying composition itself to become more art-directed, fluid, and distinctive.
