Try Brilliant: https://brilliant.design/ #ad

Brilliant is a free, AI-native design tool that does about 95% of what Figma does, with one big twist: AI agents work right alongside you on the canvas, your files are plain-text and git-friendly, and there's no seat or Dev Mode to pay for. In this video I put Brilliant head-to-head with Figma, covering where it wins (free, native GPU shaders, seven export formats, unlimited MCP) and where Figma still leads (component variants, interactive prototypes, and live multiplayer). If you've been hunting for a real Figma alternative built for the AI era, this might be the best design tool you haven't tried yet.
