Figma company has acquired the Bud startup team
Figma, recognized as a leading platform in the design world, has taken a significant step toward further strengthening its technological ecosystem. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The company has officially announced the acquisition of Bud, a startup focused on artificial intelligence and simplifying development environments. This acquisition is an integral part of Figma’s strategy to transform its platform from a simple drawing tool into a comprehensive environment for creating full-fledged software products.
The development is expected to bring design and coding processes closer together in the modern technology landscape. Bud, which had previously received support from influential accelerators, offered intelligent systems that enabled users to create services for mobile apps and websites.
According to the startup’s leaders, joining the Figma team is a natural step into a new era, where the boldest ideas are now brought to life precisely on this platform. In recent years, Figma has paid special attention to narrowing the gap between design and development.
Previously, the company introduced specialized features for building web applications. The addition of the new team will expand capabilities for automated tools and the creation of more complex patterns within the platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bud will cease its independent operations, and all of its technological capabilities will be integrated into Figma. Users have been given a suitable timeframe to transfer their projects to other platforms if needed.
This decision reflects Bud’s evolution not as a standalone product, but as a component part of a larger system. Although some security-related shortcomings were previously observed in applications developed by this startup, Figma specialists plan to focus their primary efforts on developing secure and intelligent coding tools.
For Uzbek designers and developers, these changes on the Figma platform are of great significance. Today, Figma is considered the most widely used tool in our country’s information technology market.
In the future, designers will be able to generate ready-made code templates using artificial intelligence, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with project development. By rolling out its new capabilities, Figma aims to become an indispensable partner not only for specialists working on visual appearance but also for engineers who build the software component.
Such major agreements indicate that the artificial intelligence revolution in the design world is continuing with full force.
