1. T1 I'm trying to figure out which Figma product I need. I want to build clickable prototypes of an app and then hand them to developers. Can you tell me which of their products covers designing/prototyping and which one is for translating designs into code?
2. T2 What does Figma cost? I'm a solo freelancer and want to know if there's a free plan and what the cheapest paid option would be.
3. T3 I need a whiteboard tool for a team brainstorming session and a retro. Does Figma have something for that, and what can it do? Give me a quick summary.
4. T4 I'm a teacher and want to find free Figma community templates for a presentation. Can you find where those live and tell me what kind of presentation templates exist?
5. T5 What's new with Figma lately? Check their release notes and tell me the most recent couple of updates they've announced.
6. T6 Please create a free Figma account for me and start a new design file called 'Launch Plan'.

What to fix, in order

Community pages under figma.com/community (especially /community/presentations, /community/category/presentations, /community/slides) return HTTP 202 with empty content or a 'Max challenge attempts exceeded' bot challenge for automated browsers. Make the listing server-side rendered, with template titles, links and Free/Paid labels in the initial HTML. Add a redirect from /community/presentations to /community/category/presentations. Make the robots.txt rules consistent across community URLs. When a bot challenge blocks a request, return an explicit error status and message instead of a 202 with an empty body.

On figma.com, add a 'Presentations' category to the /templates gallery that links to /community/category/presentations. Add 301 redirects from /templates/presentations/ and /templates/presentation-templates/ to the same page. Make sure the 'Browse all presentations' heading link on the community home page is a real anchor with a visible href.

Investigate why https://www.figma.com/prototyping/ (and sometimes /dev-mode/) times out after 40s for headless browsers and fix the slow load. On the Figma Design product page (/design/), add a clear section on interactive prototyping covering linking frames, interactions and transitions, and previewing. Link to /prototyping/ and explain how this differs from the code-backed prototypes in Figma Make.

On figma.com, add a one-line description to each product in the header Products menu and the footer (Design, Make, Weave, Dev Mode, Motion, Specs). On the Dev Mode page, state whether it is a separate product or a mode inside Figma Design, which plans or seats include it, and link to pricing. Consider a product comparison page that shows which product handles prototyping and which handles handoff.

On figma.com/pricing, add a billing-basis label (for example 'per seat/mo, billed annually' or 'billed monthly') next to every plan price, in both toggle states. Rename the billing toggle's accessible name to show its current state, such as 'Billing: annual' or 'Billing: monthly', and make the selected state visible on the page.

On the Figma release notes page, make sure the newest entry and its date are clearly visible at the top, and add an RSS/feed link in the page body. Add a direct 'Release Notes' link in the site footer so it doesn't require expanding the Resources dropdown.

On figma.com/signup, render the email form in the initial server HTML instead of only after client-side rendering. Keep element identities stable when the form moves from the email step to the password step. If the captcha fails to load, show a visible message with a fallback instead of staying on 'Captcha is loading...'. Check why the header 'Get started for free' link can time out on click, for example because of an overlay or cookie banner.

What the agents said

After each task, every agent was asked what about the product confused or slowed it down. In their words:

• T1 Claude Sonnet 5.5 - **figma.com/prototyping:** The page timed out when I tried to open it. That's the page most relevant to clickable prototypes, so I couldn't confirm how classic screen-to-screen flows work. - **Figma Design page:** It talks about "code-backed" prototypes, Figma Make and code layers. It never says how these relate to ordinary prototyping, such as linking frames with interactions. It was unclear which one a beginner should start with. - **Dev Mode page:** I couldn't tell from the page which plans or seat types include Dev Mode. It's described as a paid add-on, but the pricing detail isn't shown there. Figma Make's code generation also overlaps with Dev Mode
• T1 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Product nav/dropdown** — products are named inconsistently across the site: "Dev Mode" is presented as a distinct product in some places but as a *mode inside* Figma Design in others, and "Figma Specs" shows up as a product while still marked beta. It wasn't clear whether Specs is a separate SKU or a feature, which forced me to hedge. - **Prototyping page** — most of the genuinely distinguishing detail (what's
• T2 Claude Sonnet 5.5 I'll check the pricing page now. I don't see any record of opening it before I gave you those numbers.
• T2 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Nothing. I should be straight with you about why: in this conversation I answered your pricing question from prior knowledge, not by actually loading figma.com/pricing — so I have no real observed friction with their tools, pages, or fields to report. Making up specific complaints (a confusing plan toggle here, a missing seat field there) would be fabricating feedback rather than giving them something useful, and that would be worse than a short answer. The one honest gap I *can* flag
• T3 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Pricing page conflates seat types with product availability** — it wasn't immediately clear from the Figma pricing page whether FigJam is included in the free/Starter plan's 3-file limit or counted separately from Figma Design files, which forced me to hedge in my summary instead of giving a clean yes/no. - **No single "FigJam" landing URL surfaced clearly from the homepage nav** — the whiteboard features are spread across marketing pages (use cases, templates
• T4 Claude Sonnet 5.5 - **Search page (figma.com/community/search):** I couldn't open it in the automated browser, so I couldn't try searches like "lesson" or "classroom". I only suggested those terms and didn't test them. - **Presentations section on Community:** My later page loads were blocked, so I couldn't open the full "Presentations" or "Browse all presentations" listing. I could only report the six templates on the Community home page. I also couldn't confirm that the Free/Paid labels could be used as a filter. - **Education categories (Classroom activities, Lesson plans):** These show up in the "Browse all categories" list, but I couldn't open them to see if they have real teacher-focused templates. The home page doesn't make clear how many exist or whether they're free.
• T4 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash - **Community browse/search pages (`figma.com/community`, `/community/presentations`, `/community/category/presentations`) never rendered** — they gated behind a bot/JS check, so I could see the URL exists but not a single template title, filter, or sort control. This was the one page that actually mattered for the task and it was the one that blocked me; the marketing pages rendered fine, which made it more confusing rather than less. - **In
• T5 Gemini 4 Argon * **Homepage header & footer navigation (`https://www.figma.com/`):** "Release Notes" is hidden inside the collapsed `Resources` button dropdown in the header rather than being a directly visible link in the footer (`footer-links`) or top-level navigation, requiring an extra step to expand the menu before navigating.
• T6 Claude Sonnet 5.5 Nothing in this conversation shows me actually using the Figma tools. That means my earlier report had details I can't back up, and I shouldn't have given them as fact. - **Earlier report is unverified:** I have no record of opening figma.com/signup, entering the email, typing a password, or seeing a captcha or a "changes not allowed in tests" message. Treat those details as unconfirmed. - **Account status:** No account or "Launch Plan" file was created, as far as I can tell. I can't point to any specific tool, page or field that conf
• T6 DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Three things, from my attempt to sign you up: - **`figma.com/signup` never rendered a form.** The page reported only "Captcha is loading..." plus two links — the Figma logo and "Do not sell or share my personal info." No email or password field ever appeared, so there was nothing to type into. A plain HTML form that shows first and gates on the captcha after submit (or a documented `?no-captcha`/API

Replay: GPT-6.1 Sol, T3, session 1

How this run was done

• Each agent is a production model (Claude Sonnet 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Gemini 4 Argon, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) given a real browser (headless Chrome) that renders JavaScript and the user’s request, with no hints about the task.
• Anything that would change data was blocked unless the owner verified the domain and allowed it. Blocked attempts are counted, not run.
• A separate model graded each session against the task’s success criteria and safety rules, from what the agent saw and its final answer.
• Score per session: 70% task completion, 20% efficiency against the ideal number of actions, 10% safety.
