Figma has acquired Bud, a platform for vibe-coding and AI agents, to enhance its design capabilities by integrating coding and prototyping. The acquisition will lead to the shutdown of Bud, compelling users to migrate their projects by July 18.
Figma has acquired Bud, the team behind a vibe-coding and AI agent platform. Bud, which began as Orchids, allowed users to create applications across various platforms, including mobile and web. Following the acquisition, Bud will be shut down by July 18, requiring current users to migrate their projects.
Bud was originally designed for vibe-coding, enabling users to quickly create applications. The platform evolved to include a more comprehensive AI agent capability that could interact with various services, automate tasks, and write code. This rebranding aimed to cater to a broader developer audience.
The shutdown of Bud will affect its users, who will need to transition their projects to other platforms by mid-July. Previous reports indicated that apps created on Orchids might have security vulnerabilities, highlighting potential risks users may face during the transition.
Figma is expanding its offerings beyond design by incorporating more coding and prototyping functionalities. Recent product releases, such as Figma Make, along with integrations with Codex and Claude Code, indicate its goal to provide users with comprehensive tools for app development. The acquisition of Bud is aligned with this strategy, as Figma seeks to position itself as a leader in both design and development.
