Have you ever spent hours on Figma, trying to align buttons and text perfectly? Do you wish you had a smart assistant to help with those repetitive design tasks? Meet Layermate—the plugin you need!
What is Layermate?
Layermate is an AI-powered plugin for Figma. It lets you create UI designs just by chatting with it. For example, you can type “Make a simple login screen for a mobile app,” and Layermate will quickly generate the design for you. It’s easy, fast, and saves a lot of time.
The Story of Layermate
Layermate was first created by a solo Japanese developer. In just a few months, it became very popular in the Figma community, with over 8,000 users. Its success caught the attention of Goodpatch, a top design company from Japan. After just 2.5 months, Layermate officially became part of the Goodpatch family, starting a new chapter for AI in UI design.

Real-World Tests: 3 Fun Examples with Layermate
After learning about Layermate, I tried it on three different ideas—and the results were awesome!
1. Animal Sound App for Kids
I asked Layermate: “Make an app for babies. When you click each animal, you hear its sound and see its features. Save favorites.”
Layermate created a design with animal icons, sound buttons, and a favorites list. It’s perfect for learning and play!
2. Book Cafe Management App
I typed: “Design an app to manage books for a book cafe.”
Layermate gave me a clean interface with book categories, borrow/return status, search, and add-new-book options. Managing a book cafe is now much easier!
3. Japanese Learning App for Foreigners
I said: “Design a mobile app for foreigners to learn Japanese.”
Layermate built a design with vocabulary practice, pronunciation, mini-games, leaderboards, and friend connections. It’s a great all-in-one app for language learners!
What’s Next for Layermate?
Goodpatch is working to make Layermate the best AI tool for UI/UX designers. They hold meetups, listen to user feedback, and keep improving the product. If you haven’t tried Layermate, you’re missing out on a fun and helpful design experience!
P.S.: Layermate isn’t just a plugin. It’s your creative partner for faster, better UI design every day.
