# The TL;DR on Figma Weave: Make your creative process repeatable

**[Figma](https://daily.dev/sources/figma)** · 9 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Figma Weave packages AI image and video generation into connected, reusable workflows that creative teams can share and repeat. Work happens through nodes (building blocks), branches (alternate directions from the same starting point), and workflows (connected nodes producing a result). Teams can connect Weave workflows directly to Figma frames via a Figma node, and changes to the original frame in Figma Design are reflected in its connected node in Weave. Finished workflows can be packaged as 'Weave tools' that teammates can run without navigating the nodes, and community publishing for these tools is now live.

## Questions this post answers

### What is a Weave tool in Figma Weave?

A Weave tool is a packaged workflow that teammates can run without navigating the underlying nodes or writing prompts from scratch. For example, a photo background removal, backdrop placement, and crop workflow could be packaged so the next user just uploads a photo and clicks Generate, and the tool runs all the steps automatically to return the final image.

_Teams standardizing creative pipelines can follow Figma Weave updates like this on daily.dev._

### How does the Figma node connect Figma Design to a Weave workflow?

The Figma node lets you copy a frame from Figma Design and paste it into Weave, where it stays connected to the original. If you change the original frame in Figma Design, that change is reflected in its connected Figma node in Weave, letting you build new work on existing layouts and brand decisions instead of recreating them.

_Developers integrating design tools into AI pipelines can track features like this on daily.dev._

### What are branches in Figma Weave used for?

Branches are separate paths in a workflow that let you explore a different direction from the same starting point while keeping the original available. For example, from one backpack photo you could branch into two AI image-editing nodes, placing it in a forest in one and on a mountain in the other, comparing both before committing to a direction.
