This week, Framer hosted its “Spring Event 2025,” showcasing a suite of new features aimed at making building web experiences easier.
These updates look to directly compete with Figma’s recent announcements, which include new AI features, drawing tools, and code components.
Wireframer is a new no-code web design platform (powered by AI) that enables users to create wireframes and layouts in seconds, with simple text prompts.
With Wireframer, you can now:
Create layouts: Describe your website’s purpose, like “e-commerce store for vintage clothing,” and AI suggests tailored layouts, elements, and color schemes.
Access extensive templates: Choose from thousands of pre-built templates across categories like portfolios, blogs, and e-commerce, customizable with drag-and-drop tools.
Build with drag-and-drop ease: Arrange elements, add interactivity, and adjust responsive breakpoints intuitively, with real-time previews.
Export seamlessly: Output designs as HTML, CSS, or JSON for integration with other tools or CMS platforms like WordPress, with options for static or dynamic exports.
Wireframer is now available for free and paid Framer plans.
Framer’s Workshop is a new AI-powered feature that transforms text prompts into fully editable, production-ready components within Framer.
With Workshop, you can now:
Generate custom components: Describe what you want, like “a cookie banner with a close button,” and AI builds it with editable properties, matching your site’s styles.
Iterate via chat interface: Tweak details in a conversational chat, adjusting layouts, colors, or functionality in real-time.
Deploy without dev hours: Output components are ready for production, with built-in property controls and performance optimizations like offscreen rendering.
To access Workshop, open a Framer project and hit Cmd/Ctrl + K.
Framer’s Vectors 2.0 allows users to create precise, dynamic vector graphics directly within Framer.
With Vectors 2.0, you can now:
Access advanced vector tools: Utilize improved path editing, boolean operations, and a redesigned toolbar for seamless icon and logo creation within existing layouts.
Create with Vector Sets: Design consistent icon sets on a dedicated Canvas, with all necessary tools for large-scale projects, ensuring uniformity across designs.
Integrate seamlessly: Incorporate vector illustrations directly into Framer projects, with real-time updates and compatibility with other Framer features like AI Tools and responsive design.
Framer’s new “Advanced Analytics” integrates A/B testing, funnels, and click tracking directly into the platform.
With Advanced Analytics, you can now:
Conduct A/B testing: Validate design choices by comparing variations without coding, ensuring no site slowdowns or layout shifts.
Analyze conversion funnels: Build and view funnels to track user journeys, identify drop-off points, and optimize conversion paths.
Track clicks and interactions: Monitor specific link clicks and form submissions, gaining insights into user preferences and interaction patterns.
This feature is available now as part of Business plans with the Advanced Analytics add-on.

As a part of this announcement, Google is rebranding Galileo AI as “Stitch,” an AI-powered tool for designing web and mobile app frontends.

Describe your desired interface, such as “a minimalist e-commerce checkout page,” and Stitch generates UI elements and corresponding code using Gemini models.
Customizable and editable outputs — generated UIs are fully editable within Stitch’s demo environment, allowing users to tweak layouts, colors, and functionalities before exporting code.

Google unveiled Veo 3 at Google’s annual “I/O 2025” event, introducing a new era of AI video generation with realistic sound, enhanced prompt adherence, and creative control (the results are unreal…).
Veo 3 builds on its predecessors, offering filmmakers, marketers, and creators unprecedented tools to produce high-quality videos with integrated audio, challenging competitors like Runway and Pika Labs.
I did more tests with Google's #Veo3. Imagine if AI characters became aware they were living in a simulation!

With Veo 3, you can now:
Generate videos with realistic sound: Create clips with synchronized audio, including dialogue, ambient sounds, and effects, all generated from text prompts. For example, prompt “a news anchor reporting a fire,” and Veo 3 adds a realistic newsroom soundscape.
Improve prompt adherence: Follow complex prompts more accurately, preserving scene composition, interactions, and shadows, powered by advanced AI models.
Extend and edit videos: Build longer scenes by extending initial clips, with Veo 3 maintaining audio continuity, though current limitations revert to Veo 2 for extensions, removing sound.
Leverage creative control: Use your body, face, and voice to animate characters, transforming movements and speech into lifelike actions.
Despite the impressive results, it’s currently extremely expensive to generate videos with Veo 3, at $250 per month for ~83 video generations.
Veo 3 is pretty wild.
People just dropped some new insane videos
