SAN FRANCISCO, July 8. Figma has acquired the team behind a Y Combinator-backed startup that built a vibe-coding platform and later developed an agent-creation product, the company said. The startup had moved from user-facing coding tools into software for building AI agents before the deal closed.

The startup's trajectory

The company, backed by Y Combinator, launched as a vibe-coding platform. Vibe coding lets users direct software creation through natural language, with an AI system generating the underlying code. The team later built an agent-creation product, shifting its focus before Figma moved to bring them in-house. No financial terms were reported.

What Figma adds

The acquisition gives Figma a team with direct product experience across two areas of AI-assisted development. The startup had built and shipped in both categories before joining Figma. The size of the team was not disclosed.
