As AI accelerates product development, design systems keep the bar for craft and quality high. Here’s everything we announced at Schema to help teams design for the AI era.

Figma is a collaborative interface design tool that enables teams to create, prototype, and collaborate on digital designs in real-time. From their blog, readers can learn about user interface design, design systems, and prototyping techniques. With documentation, tutorials, and design resources, Figma empowers designers and developers to create beautiful and functional user experiences.

Figma announced major design system updates at Schema 2025, including Extended Collections for multi-brand management, Slots for flexible component instances, and Check Designs for automated design system compliance. The updates bridge design and code through Code Connect UI and Figma MCP server integration with agentic coding tools. New features enable design systems in Figma Make through Make kits and npm package imports, while quality-of-life improvements include native DTCG 1.0 variable import/export, expanded variable modes (up to 20), and enhanced authoring experience. These changes aim to maintain craft quality as AI tools democratize product development across teams.
