New AI features including auto-generation of templates, organization of sticky notes by themes, and instant summaries aim to streamline design tasks and boost productivity on Figma's FigJam.

• Figma has introduced AI-generated features to FigJam, its collaborative design whiteboard, designed to streamline productivity by automatically creating templates for typical design and planning tasks.
• Features include the Generate function which provides prompt suggestions for common design elements such as flowcharts, icebreakers, and brainstorming sessions, thereby reducing time spent on preparation.
• The Sort function groups sticky notes which serve as placeholders for ideas or tasks, according to their thematic relevance, effectively organizing content on the whiteboard.
• With the Summarize feature, FigJam can auto-generate summaries from groups of sticky notes, providing key takeaways and next steps in a single click.
• FigJam AI, now in open beta, is largely targeting a non-core designer user base which constitutes two-thirds of its active weekly users, aiming to reimagine online collaboration across various team roles and make board creation less intimidating for new users.
