## AI overview

Figma introduces interactive components as a generally available feature, allowing designers to define interactions and animations between component variants. The update aims to make prototyping faster and more faithful by reducing manual wiring and frames, enabling direct editing of component states, supporting reusable library elements, and improving performance, stability, observation mode, and auto layout.
