Figma Acquires AI Startup Weavy to Launch Weave for AI-Powered Design

Design platform Figma has acquired Weavy, a Tel Aviv–based AI startup specialising in image and video generation, as part of its expansion into AI-assisted design. The acquisition brings 20 Weavy team members under Figma’s wing and will see the company operate under a new brand: Figma Weave.

While the financial details of the deal remain undisclosed, the move underscores Figma’s commitment to merging generative AI with creative design workflows. Founded in 2024, Weavy raised $4 million in a seed round led by Entrée Capital, with support from Designer Fund, Founder Collective, and Fiverr founder Micha Kaufman.

For now, Weavy will remain a standalone product, but Figma plans to integrate it into the broader Figma Weave ecosystem, bringing AI-powered image and video generation directly into the design process.

Weavy’s platform allows designers to blend outputs from multiple AI models while retaining creative control. Users can generate, edit, and refine assets from mockups to brand visuals, using a node-based interface that enables adjustments to lighting, colour, angles, and other elements through prompts.

Designers can also combine prompts across models such as Sora, Veo, Flux, Ideogram, and Seedream to produce highly customised results. This flexible workflow bridges the gap between automated AI generation and hands-on design expertise.

Figma CEO Dylan Field said Weavy introduces “a new level of craft and control in AI generation,” adding that its balance of simplicity and power aligns with Figma’s vision for next-generation design tools.

The acquisition reflects a wider trend in AI design, as leading platforms race to embed generative capabilities into creative workflows. Earlier this month, Perplexity acquired the team behind Sequoia-backed Visual Electric, while Krea announced an $83 million funding round to advance its AI media platform.

As Figma Weave evolves, it aims to transform how designers work with AI—not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a collaborative tool that accelerates the journey from concept to creation.
