en.Wedoany.com Reported - Figma has acquired the team behind AI agent platform Bud (formerly Orchids) to enhance its artificial intelligence capabilities and more closely integrate coding and prototyping layers into the design canvas.

Bud CEO Kevin Lu posted on X that Figma is one of the most iconic product companies of this era, fully leveraging its strengths to become the place where ideas are born, iterated, and realized, and a natural home for the new era of work.

The Y Combinator-backed startup was initially positioned as a vibe coding platform, enabling users to quickly create mobile, web, Slack, browser, and other applications. It later rebranded to Bud and transformed into an agent platform capable of accessing multiple services, browsing the web, and writing code to automate tasks.

Under the terms of the deal, the startup will shut down both Bud and Orchids platforms by July 18, requiring users to migrate their projects before that date. Earlier this year, BBC cited a security researcher's report indicating that apps created on Orchids were vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Figma did not specify the exact use of the team, but recent product releases suggest the publicly traded company aims to provide teams with more tools for building and prototyping applications, rather than just ideating on static concepts. Last year, Figma launched Figma Make for creating web applications; this year, it integrated with tools like Codex and Claude Code and introduced its own agent.
