FigJam is Figma's whiteboard tool for brainstorming, diagramming, and team rituals. Simpler than Miro but tightly integrated with Figma's design workflow.

Google has upgraded Lyria 3 to Lyria 3 Pro — a significant step up in its music generation model that's now available across Vertex AI, Google AI Studio, the Gemini API, Google Vids, and the Gemini app. The key jump: the new model generates tracks up to three full minutes (vs. the previous 30-second cap), with structured song sections including intros, verses, choruses, and bridges that actually transition musically. The model adds multilingual vocals (sing in any of 140+ supported languages), JSON-structured prompting for reliable format control, and maintains Google's SynthID watermarking on all output for provenance tracking. Audio quality has been noticeably improved, with better instrument separation and more natural dynamics across the full track length. For developers, Lyria 3 Pro is available via the standard Gemini API — the same authentication and SDK you'd use for text generation, which dramatically lowers the barrier to integrating music into apps. Google Vids gets native integration, making AI-scored video content a one-click operation.
Reviewer scorecard
“If your team already uses Figma, FigJam is the obvious choice. Seamless context switching between design and planning.”
“Same API key as Gemini, three-minute output, JSON prompting for structure — this is finally production-ready for apps that need dynamic background music or scored video. The integration with Google Vids is a smart forcing function.”
“Stamps, stickers, and the playful UI make brainstorming sessions actually fun. The Figma integration is seamless.”
“Three minutes of structured music that transitions properly is the minimum bar for real creative use. Lyria 3 Pro finally clears it. I'd use this for short film scoring and social video — it's not replacing a composer, but it's replacing stock music licensing.”
“Feature-light compared to Miro. Fine for Figma shops but not enough to justify switching from an established whiteboard tool.”
“Three minutes is still too short for most real-world music use cases, and 'structured sections' often still sound jarring compared to human-arranged music. Suno and Udio are ahead on pure output quality; Lyria's advantage is ecosystem integration, not sound.”
“The integration path is the story here: music generation directly inside the same developer stack as text and video means personalized, dynamic audio becomes a default feature of AI apps, not a special case. That's a massive shift for UX design.”
