   Introducing Figma Weave: the next generation of AI-native creation at Figma

   Figma acquired Weavy, rebranding it as Figma Weave, to integrate AI-powered image, video, animation, and VFX generation capabilities into its platform. Weavy combines multiple leading AI models (Seedance, Sora, Veo, Flux, Ideogram) with professional editing tools in a browser-based, node-based canvas. The platform enables creators to generate AI outputs and refine them with hands-on editing controls like lighting adjustments, masking, and color grading. The acquisition aims to enhance Figma's vision of combining human craft with AI generation, moving beyond simple prompts to create more refined, professional creative work.

   The Downfall Of Adobe

   Adobe's stock has declined 24.7% over five years despite revenue growth from $16B to $22B, driven by their 2013 shift to subscription pricing. The company faces criticism for outdated software UI, poor AI integration, confusing pricing plans, aggressive cancellation fees, and anti-competitive practices like attempting to acquire Figma for $20B. After regulators blocked the deal, Adobe paid Figma a $1B termination fee, giving their competitor resources to innovate. Browser-based tools like Figma are gaining traction, suggesting creative software may shift away from desktop applications toward web platforms with technologies like WebGPU.
