In the developer's words
Edit the text content in multiple layers, instances and components in Figma and FigJam files.
Content Buddy searches for text layers in your selection and displays a list with each text so you can select any text individually or using multiple selections to set a replacement for all the layers where the original text appears.
Replacement can be done as simple text replacement or using *AI prompts to translate, iterate or make text shorter/longer.
Content Buddy works in instances, components, frames , groups and text shapes both for Figma and FigJam files.
* AI replacements requires an OpenAI API token to work.
