Figma acquires team behind a vibe coding app

Figma has acquired the team behind Bud (formerly Orchids), a Y Combinator-backed vibe coding and AI agent platform. The startup, which let users build apps for mobile, web, Slack, and more, will shut down both Bud and Orchids by July 18. Figma's move signals its ambition to expand beyond design into app building and prototyping, building on recent launches like Figma Make and integrations with Codex and Claude Code.
