Introduction

Design Buddy is an AI-enabled plugin for Figma, a popular vector graphics editor and prototyping tool, designed to act as a collaborative teammate by offering insightful UI design reviews.

Integrated directly into Figma, Design Buddy provides structured feedback on various design elements including layout, color, typography, and accessibility. It evaluates each category objectively, assigning scores that help designers identify both strengths and weaknesses in their designs.

The plugin aims to enhance the design process by assisting designers in identifying often-overlooked flaws, ensuring that design proposals are polished before being presented to stakeholders such as product managers, teams, or clients. By addressing issues early, Design Buddy helps minimize the need for future revisions, thereby saving time and promoting efficiency.

Operated on a subscription basis, Design Buddy offers different plans tailored to individual professionals and collaborative teams. Each plan includes a monthly review quota, allowing users to select the plan that best suits their specific review needs.

The user experience of Design Buddy is designed to be straightforward and user-friendly. Upon selecting a plan, users receive an API key to activate the plugin within Figma, making it ready for immediate use. Users also have the flexibility to manage their plans and request refunds under specified terms and conditions.
