write

write, developed by Frontitude, is a sophisticated AI writing assistant specifically engineered to enhance the workflow of design teams. Functioning as a seamless plugin within Figma, it acts as a copilot for UX writers, product designers, and anyone involved in creating user-facing content. It empowers teams to produce engaging, clear, and consistent UX copy without ever leaving their design environment. By leveraging a customized AI model trained on best practices from world-class products, write helps overcome writer's block, accelerates the content creation process, and ensures that every word in a design aligns with the product's voice and tone.

How to use write

Getting started with write is a straightforward process designed for maximum efficiency:

1. Installation: Find and install the 'UX Writing Assistant' plugin from the Figma community directly within your Figma file or via the community page.
2. Onboarding: Upon first use, you'll be prompted to complete a brief onboarding questionnaire. This provides the AI with essential context about your product, including industry, company type (B2B/B2C), and target audience, which helps in generating more relevant copy.
3. Select and Rewrite: Select any text layer in your Figma design. The existing text will appear in the plugin's editor. Click the 'Rewrite' button to generate a list of alternative copy suggestions.
4. Refine with Instructions: You can guide the AI further by using predefined instructions for tone (e.g., formal, casual), length (e.g., shorter, longer), and UI element type (e.g., button, headline). For more specific needs, you can add custom instructions.
5. Apply and Save: Apply your chosen suggestion to the design with a single click. You can also save frequently used or approved copy to your library for quick reuse across different designs.
6. Enforce Consistency: Use the 'Guidelines' feature to create rules and link them to your design system components, ensuring everyone on the team writes consistently.

Core Features of write

• AI-Powered Rewrite: Instantly generates multiple copy suggestions to rewrite existing text or create new content from scratch, eliminating writer's block.

• Content Guidelines Integration: Embed your brand's voice, tone, and style rules directly into your Figma design system. Link guidelines to components to ensure consistency at scale.
• AI-Powered Content Audits: Automatically scan designs for violations of your established content guidelines, dramatically speeding up the review process.

• Save & Reuse Copy: Build a centralized library of approved copy snippets that can be easily accessed and reused by the entire team.
