I initially explored solving this through MCP, but I wasn't able to reliably interact with and act on Figma comments the way I envisioned. That led me to build a small prototype called Pal.
Pal reads comments, understands the requested change, finds the relevant layer, generates a plan, and applies simple updates directly in Figma. Right now it's very limited and only handles basic scenarios,
I believe this idea would be far more powerful if implemented natively within Figma. With direct access to comments, components, variables, design context, and file structure, Figma could turn feedback into actionable suggestions and help teams move from feedback to implementation much faster.
The goal isn't to replace designers - it's to reduce the time spent processing repetitive feedback so designers can spend more time creating new things.
