Figma's agent chat panel now opens in a separate window
The Figma desktop app (macOS and Windows) now lets you pop the agent chat into its own window. It stays visible as you switch tools or tabs inside the main canvas.

Use this as a shared reference with your team before your next agentic feature kickoff so everyone means the same thing when they say 'agent.' — Designer's Takeaway |
Today's Idea
Design tools are meeting agents where you work
Figma, Webflow, and now ChatGPT are embedding agents directly into the tools and workflows designers already use. Audit one repetitive task in your current tool stack this week and check whether an agent integration already exists for it.
