This article describes two AI-powered methods for building Figma plugins without coding: Artifig AI and Cursor AI.
Artifig AI is a Figma plugin that generates Figma plugins. Users describe the desired plugin's functionality, UI, and visuals, optionally uploading images for reference. The tool offers version history, allowing for iterative development and easy rollback.
Cursor AI enabled the author to create and publish a gradient plugin in just 15 minutes. The process involved selecting a local folder for the plugin's files and then leveraging Cursor AI to handle the code generation and environment setup.
Building your own Figma plugin is a super power. One moment you have a problem/idea and the other moment you have a custom plugin to solve that exact problem.
Full honesty, I actually did web development for 2 years, so I’m not unfamiliar with some clean Javascript, but coding a Figma plugin would mean re-learning a lot and spending hours coding and fixing bugs.
Here are 2 methods I used to build the plugin without writing a single line of code; Use whichever seems more useful/convenient to you.
Artifig AI is a Figma plugin that builds Figma plugins! It opens as a little popup with a prompt window.
What’s cool about this tool is the version history feature. You can add new features and fix bugs, all while keeping the old versions and you can always go back-and-forth while building.
They have thousands of community members submitting new plugins every day which you can see and even replicate.
One thing that AI has done for designers, is allowed us to build apps and tools without learning code. Cursor AI allowed me to create and publish my gradient plugin in 15 minutes flat!
I started by selecting the folder on my computer where I wanted my plugin code and files to live. After that, instead of learning how to setup the files and code environment for my…
