Figma acquires team behind a vibe-coding app

Figma, a leading design platform, has acquired the team behind the vibe-coding and AI agent platform Bud (formerly Orchids). The acquisition aligns with Figma's strategy to integrate more AI capabilities and enhance its coding and prototyping features. Bud, which started as a vibe-coding tool allowing users to create apps across multiple platforms, rebranded as an agent platform capable of accessing services, browsing the web, and writing code for automation. Following the acquisition, Bud and Orchids will shut down by July 18, requiring users to transfer their projects before then. Earlier reports highlighted security vulnerabilities in apps built using Orchids, as noted by the BBC. While Figma hasn't detailed specific plans for the acquired team, recent product updates suggest a focus on expanding tools for app development and prototyping beyond static design concepts.
