Figma Brings Google’s Gemini AI Into Its Design Toolbox

Figma is teaming up with Google to embed Gemini AI models directly into its design platform, the company announced on October 9, 2025.

While Figma has already experimented with its own AI-powered design tools, this integration opens the door to deeper image generation and editing capabilities powered by Google’s latest models.

Under the partnership, Figma will incorporate Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, and Imagen 4 into its suite of tools, while continuing its collaboration with Google Cloud. The goal is to let Figma’s more than 13 million monthly users generate and refine images simply by prompting and issuing change requests.

One of the biggest advantages Figma highlights is speed. In internal tests, Gemini 2.5 Flash cut latency for the Make Image feature by about 50%.

This partnership reflects a broader industry shift: AI leaders embedding their models into widely used apps to reach more users. For example, OpenAI recently announced that ChatGPT users can now “chat” with popular applications like Spotify, Canva, and Figma through its platform.

The timing aligns with Google’s launch of Gemini Enterprise, a conversational AI offering tailored for business workflows. With Gemini Enterprise, users can interact with internal documents, data, and applications, while developers can build or deploy AI agents directly within Google’s ecosystem.

Google frames the collaboration as a productivity boost—a way to streamline workflows and increase efficiency. That message comes at a time when many enterprise AI projects struggle to deliver tangible results. According to Google, 65% of Google Cloud customers are already using its AI products, underscoring growing adoption.

Alongside the Figma announcement, Google also revealed new AI partnerships with GAP, Mercedes, Klarna, and Virgin Voyages—joining existing clients like Box, Deutsche Telekom, Deloitte, and the U.S. Department of Energy.
