Software design app Figma’s shares closed 7.4% higher after OpenAI announced Figma would be integrated into ChatGPT.
Figma is now available as an interactive app within ChatGPT, alongside apps from companies like Spotify, Booking.com, Coursera, and Canva.
“Apps in ChatGPT fit naturally into conversation. You can discover them when ChatGPT suggests one at the right time, or by calling them by name. Apps respond to natural language and include interactive interfaces you can use right in the chat,” according to OpenAI.
“While an idea may start on a whiteboard, notebook, or even a cocktail napkin, it’s only when it moves into a collaborative space like FigJam that teammates can help take the idea further. The Figma app in ChatGPT helps with that transition by turning drawings into diagrams,” wrote Figma product manager Luke Zhang.
Figma’s ChatGPT app can be used to build collaborative diagrams and charts, Figma said, with further options to come.
Apps from companies like Uber, Tripadvisor, and Peloton will be added to ChatGPT this year, OpenAI said. Software developers will be able to submit apps for potential ChatGPT integration later in 2025.
Etsy shares also jumped by 16% last week after OpenAI unveiled a new feature allowing users to buy from Etsy sellers through ChatGPT.
Figma’s (NYSE: FIG) share price has fallen by 50.7% since its initial public offering in July, having reached a high of $122 on 1 August.
Its shares climbed to US$60.60 on Monday before closing at $56.96, up from its previous close at $53.04. Figma’s market capitalisation is $27.90 billion.
