PROMPT

Right now, Figma Education is a free student plan and marketing tactics. It doesn’t actually have features catered towards educators or students.

USER RESEARCH

Identifying the Problem

We interviewed a range of professors and students to understand pain points they were experiencing in the classroom and with Figma.

IDEATION

Rapid Prototyping

Analyzed Figma's surfaces and prototyped ways we could address pain points in Figma's ecosystem.

SOLUTION

Design Drills: Unlimited Design Practice with an AI Teacher's Assitant

Drill Generator

Design Drills will generate a bad frame for you to redesign. You can choose between different design principles, level, and exercises.

Parents aren't tech savvy, so keeping this feature in messages ensures they're in an environment they are comfortable and already connected with their kids.

AI Communicaion Modalities

How we can guide users to improve their designs? We took Figma's surfaces and attached an AI teacher's assistant to make it feel like you're working with a teammate.

AI Cursor

Meant for quick questions with quick responses, the AI cursor gives contextual replies by selecting elements on your frames.

AI Comments

With AI Comments you can select content to contextualize your ask and use a surface that can generate inspiration and other references.

AI Voice Call

We learn best when we see a pro go through the process and explain their reasoning. The AI call portrays that experience and lets you to stop and pause along the way, helping users learn at their own pace.

Your care pack updates automatically with app stats, so parents can reference it without daily prompts.

AI History Log

We don't learn in the moment. People learn through repetition and reflecting on past experiences. The AI log lets you review all your past conversations with Figma AI.

KEY QUESTIONS

How the Agent Should Act?

To align this tool with education, we designed it to guide learning and support self-paced progress, rather than just spit out answers.

HOW DO WE GIVE DESIGN FEEDBACK?

Rejecting solutions that hint to one answer

Design is not black and white. We were ideating design feedback solutions that hinted at one answer. We needed to pivot to using AI in order to provide flexibility in response.

With Cursor AI I created this plugin that simulates Design Drills and generates bad frames for users to re-design.
