Figma has acquired the team behind AI startup Bud, formerly known as Orchids, as the company continues expanding its platform beyond interface design into AI-assisted coding, application development, and autonomous agents. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Bud began as a "vibe coding" platform that enabled users to build applications for web, mobile, Slack, browsers, and other platforms using natural language prompts. The startup later shifted its focus to AI agents capable of accessing external services, browsing the web, writing code, and automating workflows.
As part of the acquisition, Bud announced that both Bud and Orchids will shut down on July 18, giving users until then to migrate their projects. According to the company's announcement, the decision follows the team's move to Figma.
