The AI design stack: 6 AI Figma plugins worth installing

Most AI plugins promise to design for you. This stack takes a narrower view: each plugin hands one well-defined job to AI, such as a first draft of a screen, rebuilding a screenshot, starting the code, animating a frame or upscaling an image, and leaves the decisions to you.
