the design agent just left beta and started billing. figma moved its agent and weave tools to general availability on oct 6, switching them from free beta to ai-credit consumption.
the canvas now has a meter.
Context
Figma moved the Figma agent in Figma Design and its Weave tools from open beta to general availability on Oct 6, 2026. Figma's help center says they now consume Figma AI credits.
Figma's launch post describes the agent as working directly on the canvas, with teams at Uber, Granola and Atlassian cited as users.
The Oct 6 date, the move out of beta and the switch to AI credit consumption match Figma's help center. 'Started billing' is the post's phrasing of credit consumption. The meter line is the author's.
'the canvas now has a meter' is the author's opinion.
