Framer Updates
Trend of the Day
AI-Integrated Workflows & Code-to-Frame Design The recurring theme across today's updates and showcases is the deep integration of AI and code into the visual design process. From Framer's new "Skills" that automate design system instructions to Figma's "Extract designs" bridging code and editable frames, the industry is rapidly moving toward tools that blur the line between development and design. Simultaneously, award-winning web showcases are heavily featuring "AI-powered experiences" and "AI animations," proving that generative interfaces are no longer just a novelty but a standard for modern UI/UX.
Designer's Deep Dive
Project: Figma's Code Layers Analysis: Figma's introduction of Code Layers fundamentally shifts the designer's role by allowing direct manipulation of code-based screens into editable design frames. This feature leverages AI to parse the underlying code structure, translating it into a visual hierarchy that designers can adjust without breaking the functional code. For everyday designers, this means the handoff between design and development is no longer a linear translation but a collaborative, simultaneous workspace. By experimenting with this during the free beta period, designers can learn to design with real data and content directly embedded in their frames, eliminating the guesswork of static mockups.
Reader Action Items
- Try today: Test Figma's new "Code Layers" feature in the open beta to see how it converts your existing code screens into editable design frames.
- Save for later: Follow Framer's "Skills" feature to build reusable instructions for your specific design system and CMS workflows.
- Upcoming deadlines: Free creation and editing within Figma's code layers on paid plans ends on November 4, 2026.
