Figma announced on March 24, 2026 that AI agents can now design directly on the Figma canvas. Using Figma’s MCP server and two new tools — use_figma and generate_figma_design — agents can create and modify Figma files, work with existing design systems, and run multi-step design workflows triggered from outside the canvas entirely. This is…
Google published a January 2026 article explaining how Gemini is designed to connect the full lifecycle of a meeting — from Calendar context before the call to notes, transcripts, next steps, and Chat threads after it. This is not a meeting notes feature with a new name. It’s an attempt to turn Google Meet into…
Linear introduced Linear Agent in March 2026, bringing AI assistance directly into the product management workflow.
