Bud (acq Figma)

We’re extremely excited to announce the Bud (formerly Orchids) team is joining Figma! Since day one, we built this company around a vision of how AI could transform and democratize the ability to build software. The limitations and bottleneck for building something great has never been rote technical knowledge. As all else commoditizes, human ingenuity and creativity are where value eventually accrues - the true final frontier. Figma is one of, if not the, defining product company of our time to capitalize on this. It’s where ideas start, iterate, and come to life and a natural home for this exciting new era of work. We couldn’t be more excited to help shape this future at Figma. More soon!

This is how one of the hottest fintech startups, Parcha Labs, used Orchids to draw a line of customers at Money 20/20 - the world's largest fintech event. The Parcha team had a booth and needed something interesting to draw people in - they decided on a Lego minifigure app. People could come, get their picture taken, and get a REAL Lego minifigure of themselves generated. The Parcha team tried a number of solutions including Cursor and Google AI Studio - none of them worked. Then they tried Orchids and, with just few prompts, had a fully working version with database set up + integrations with Apollo to get attendees Linkedin profile photos and Fal to create an AI image of their Minifigure.
