He said ChatGPT users have a set of software tools at their easy disposal within the app, and used Figma to illustrate his point: "For example, you could sketch out a product flow for ChatGPT and then say 'Figma turn this sketch into a workable diagram,' the Figma app will take over, respond, and complete the action."
While ChatGPT is far from the only AI chatbot on the scene, it's arguably the most prominent, and the one many people readily identify with the technology. According to CNBC's reporting on Dev Day 2025, ChatGPT currently boasts more than 800 million monthly users.
Positive development
While this doesn't, of course, directly change anything for Figma, it helps place the company at the front of the AI revolution. Such tight integration between ChatGPT and the company's platform can only raise its profile higher. And surely affect its business positively, too.
