Canva designers tend to overcook everything, they lack taste. Easy win for Figma in the long run. That said, the open source Artcraft suite of apps (Figcraft is one of them) have a headless command layer that maps 1:1 to the UI, you can run the entire suite headless on a VPS and use your existing AI subs..

replyI haven't edited anything manually in Figma for a while now other than small tweaks.
Theoretically that's what the Figma agent is for, but I'll be honest in that it released after I left and I haven't tried it enough to tell whether or not it's effective.
replyHad launched this plugin earlier this year to do exactly that: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1589249271423490087/b...
