Automatically generate documentation for your Figma designs
Swiftask analyzes your Figma files to create precise technical and functional documentation, with no human intervention.
Result:
Save hours of writing, reduce back-and-forth with developers, and keep your documentation up to date in real-time.

Design documentation is a neglected and time-consuming task
Designers spend valuable time writing manual specifications for developers. Often, the documentation is outdated, incomplete, or simply forgotten. This creates major friction between product and technical teams.
Main negative impacts:
Technical misalignment
Without up-to-date documentation, developers interpret designs differently, leading to implementation errors and costly rework.
Productivity drain
Writing specifications is a repetitive task that takes designers away from their core work: creating user experiences.
Lost tacit knowledge
The intentions behind design choices are undocumented, making product maintenance and evolution complex for newcomers.
Swiftask connects your Figma designs to an AI capable of automatically extracting, structuring, and writing your technical documentation, based on your components and flows.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask
The designer finishes their mockup. They then have to open a documentation tool, copy screenshots, write descriptions, and hope developers read it all. Every time they change a design, they have to manually update the documentation.
With Swiftask + Figma
Swiftask monitors your Figma files. With every update, the AI analyzes changes, updates existing documentation, and notifies the technical team of key points. Documentation is always in sync with the design.
Automate your Figma documentation in 4 steps
1
STEP 1 : Connect your Figma account
Authorize Swiftask to access your Figma files via a secure connection. No write access is required.
2
STEP 2 : Define documentation rules
Configure the desired output: technical specs, user guides, or design system changelogs.
3
STEP 3 : Let the AI analyze your designs
Swiftask scans your frames, components, and styles to extract relevant information and functional context.
4
STEP 4 : Publish and sync
Your documentation is generated and updated automatically in your knowledge base (Notion, Confluence) or via Swiftask.
AI analysis capabilities for Figma
The agent analyzes layer properties, design system variables, interactions between frames, and comments added in Figma.
- Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in figma based on event context.
- Automated actions: Automatic extraction of styles (colors, typography). Generation of functional descriptions. Creation of component changelogs. Export to standardized documentation formats.
- Native governance: The produced documentation is structured and ready to be shared with your development teams.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-figma@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
Concrete benefits for product teams
Perfect alignment with dev
Developers get clear, up-to-date specs, reducing misinterpretation errors.
Massive productivity gain
Free your design team from repetitive documentation administrative work.
Living documentation
The documentation evolves along with your designs, with no extra effort.
Standardized knowledge
Every project benefits from consistent documentation, regardless of the designer.
Easy onboarding
New team members instantly understand the architecture and functionality of the product.
Security and privacy
Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your figma automations.
- Read-only access: Swiftask only accesses your files in read-only mode to keep your designs secure.
- Data encryption: All data extracted from Figma is processed and encrypted according to the strictest security standards.
- Access control: You precisely manage which projects are analyzed by the AI within Swiftask.
- Compliance: Solution designed to respect the intellectual property of your design assets.
