Figma Acquires Bud to Boost AI App Building | Tech News

Figma just acquired the team behind Bud, the “vibe-coding” platform that lets users build apps without deep coding—think design-meets-development on steroids. Once known as Orchids, Bud let creators build for mobile, web, and Slack, then evolved into an AI-powered agent platform that could surf the web, automate tasks, and write code. Now shutting down by July 18, Bud’s tech and talent are heading to Figma to supercharge its AI-driven development tools, helping teams prototype and build directly within the design canvas. This move signals Figma’s big push to become a full-stack creation hub, blending design, AI, and coding into one seamless workflow.
