2026 Ai Report

Figma's 2026 AI report summary says respondents report growing overlap between design and development work. In the survey of designers, developers and product managers, the share of designers participating in development doubled to 41% over the past year, while developers doing design work rose from 44% to 60%. Figma links this to teams moving single-person workflows onto a shared canvas, which is also the product it sells. These are self-reported activities, not measurements of productivity or proof that AI caused the shift. The survey also grew from seven to ten markets in 2026, and the summary does not say whether the year-over-year figures are like-for-like across that change, so treat the trend as an indication rather than a measured rate.
