Co-founded Weavy with Jonathan Gur-Zeev driven by vision that AI should be treated as raw material requiring craft rather than magic button.

the company

Figma is where teams come together to turn ideas into the world’s best digital products and experiences. Founded in 2012, Figma has evolved from a design tool to a connected, AI-powered platform that helps teams go from idea to shipped product. Whether you’re ideating, designing, building, or shipping, Figma makes the entire design and product development process more collaborative, efficient, and fun—while keeping everyone on the same page.

Figma Weave (previously Weavy) is an AI-native creative platform that Figma acquired in October 2025. It was founded in Tel Aviv in 2024 by Lior Albeck (CEO), Jonathan Alumot (CTO), Jonathan Gur-Zeev (CPO), and Itay Schiff (CCO). The node-based approach brings the world's leading AI models and professional editing tools onto a single browser-based canvas for image, video, animation, motion design, and VFX. Users choose a model for the task (Seedance/Sora/Veo for video; Flux/Ideogram for realism; Nano-Banana/Seedream for precision) and compose outputs using generative AI and hands-on edits. Outputs can be branched, remixed, and refined. Its mission is "artistic intelligence"—combining human artistry with intelligent systems.

the talk

When AI can generate anything, craft is the differentiator

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

Everyone's telling designers they're doomed. But as AI floods the creative process with endless output, the challenge is no longer about making things but in shaping them into something great. The most memorable products are born from taste, judgment, and process, not better prompts. Itay Schiff argues that traditional creative skills are becoming more essential than ever, introducing workflow as a new creative literacy, and shows how design teams are already putting it into practice.
