The Concept of Figma
Figma is a SaaS tool - popular with UI/UX designers - for creating prototypes and designs enabling real-time collaboration. Its purpose is to "bridge the gap" between designers and developers.
Adobe XD (Adobe Experience Design), now being discontinued, and Sketch are alternatives - however Figma was designed from the ground up to be cloud-native. This adds convenience as well as practical usefulness e.g. collaborating around live synchronised files.
Microsoft Integration with Figma
Microsoft has built custom Figma plugins to integrate its Fluent Design System into Figma. This creates design consistency e.g. in icons, text strings etc. The Fluent Design System is the design language used across Windows, Office and other products.
Microsoft PowerApps
Microsoft enables app creation from Figma designs using Power Apps, part of the Power Platform series of low code tools.
