Overview

• OpenAI CEO Sam Altman showed ChatGPT invoking Figma by name to turn sketches into workable diagrams during DevDay.
• Figma’s app can generate FigJam diagrams—flow charts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and Gantt charts—directly from a chat.
• Users can upload photos, drawings, or PDFs to guide outputs, and ChatGPT can recommend the Figma app when relevant.
• The integration is available to ChatGPT users outside the EU across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, with ChatGPT reported at over 800 million monthly users.
• Figma shares logged their steepest single-day gain since the July NYSE debut and kept rising in subsequent sessions, as OpenAI said its Apps SDK (based on the Model Context Protocol) will start accepting submissions later in 2025 with planned revenue opportunities for third-party apps.
