Figma, a startup company, has announced the addition of three generative AI features to its FigJam whiteboard tool, aimed at simplifying the initiation and organization of projects. The new features include a tool to help create FigJam boards, a feature to sort digital sticky notes into thematic groups, and a summarize feature that generates a summary from the sticky notes. The company is using OpenAI as its large language model and has adjusted it to understand Figma and FigJam concepts.

FigJam is Figma’s online collaborative whiteboard, popular among teams for design or other projects and organizing meetings and ideas. The company's chief product officer, Yuhki Yamashita, revealed that two-thirds of their weekly active users are not designers, indicating a broad user base.
