Basquiat

About this plugin

Your Open-Source AI Design Agent.

Design, edit, and brainstorm inside Figma with an AI that actually understands your file. 100% Free. 100% Private.

Basquiat is not just a chatbot—it’s an autonomous agent capable of manipulating your Figma layers directly. Whether you need to generate UI from scratch, refactor messy groups, or brainstorm complex UX flows, Basquiat works alongside you as a transparent, collaborative partner.

🔥 Why Basquiat?

1. True Agentic Capabilities: Basquiat doesn't just give text advice; it has hands. It can create, edit, and organize:

1. Frames & Groups
2. Rectangles & Shapes
3. Text Layers
4. Components
5. ...and manages their properties (colors, strokes, auto-layout).

2. Bring Your Own Model (BYOM): Plug in your own API keys for Google Gemini or Anthropic Claude.

1. Switch models instantly based on your task.
2. Pay only for what you use directly to the provider.
3. No middleman markups. No monthly subscriptions.

3. Private & Local-First No Backend: No Sign-up. No Tracking. Basquiat runs entirely on your machine. Your API keys, chat history, and design data are stored locally in your browser/Figma instance. We never see your data.

✨ Key Features:

👀 Context-Aware Vision: Basquiat can "see" what you have selected. Select a frame and ask, "How can I improve the spacing here?" or "Turn this wireframe into a dark-mode card."

💾 Persistent Memory: Your chat sessions are saved locally. Close Figma, come back tomorrow, and pick up the conversation exactly where you left off.

🛡️ Approval Workflows: You are the Art Director.

1. Manual Mode: Review and approve/reject every change Basquiat suggests.

1. Auto Mode: Let the agent build at high velocity for rapid prototyping.

🚀 How to Get Started

1. Run Basquiat in your Figma file.
2. Paste your API Key (Google Gemini or Anthropic). Keys are stored safely on your device.
3. Select a layer (or an empty space).
4. Prompt: "Create a navigation bar with a logo, 3 links, and a CTA button."

🔒 Privacy & Security

Open Source: The code is transparent. Verify exactly how your keys are handled on our GitHub: https://github.com/ovjectibity/basquiat

Client-Side Only: This plugin communicates directly from your Figma client to the AI providers (Google/Anthropic). No intermediate servers are used.
