I appreciate the ability to generate text directly within Figma. The integration with the design environment is quite seamless and allows for quick iterations.
The prompt library is somewhat limited. While there are over 500 prompts, many seem repetitive and could use more diversity in themes and styles.
It helps streamline the text creation process during design projects, which is beneficial for saving time. However, it's not always as creative as I'd hoped.
The 'Create' and 'Rewrite' modes are incredibly useful for quickly generating copy that fits my design needs. It saves me a lot of time.
Sometimes the text generated feels a bit generic. It would be great if the AI could understand more nuanced contexts.
It significantly reduces the back-and-forth between copywriters and designers. This is particularly beneficial for tight deadlines.
The integration with Figma is a plus; it allows me to work within one interface instead of switching back and forth.
The performance can be sluggish at times, especially with larger projects. It can be frustrating when the plugin takes long to generate text.
It helps with generating placeholder text quickly, but I find that I often need to edit it extensively to fit my needs, which defeats the purpose.
