Design-to-code used to be a one-way handoff: designers supplied intent and developers translated it into production. AI coding agents are changing that relationship. Developers can now give agents structured context from Figma, turn it into working interfaces, and bring code-generated results back to an editable canvas for review and iteration.
In this demo-led talk, Riccardo Erra explores how the Figma MCP server connects these steps, where human judgment still matters, and the practical patterns teams can use as design and code move closer together in 2027.
