The update also adds native support for animations, transitions, 3D transforms, and shader effects — previously requiring external tools. AI capabilities are expanded with support for generating assets, shader fills, and custom plugins via text prompts. Users can now connect external tools like Notion, GitHub, and Excel to Figma's AI assistant for richer context. Integration with the acquired Weavy node-based workflow tool is also in progress, with in-canvas Weavy workflow generation coming later this year. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
