A Context Pod is the most flexible way to teach Figr about your product. Where a Design Language defines how things look, a Context Pod captures what your product is and how it behaves: flows, terminology, user needs, and constraints. Build it once, attach it to any project, and reference it as a chip on any prompt.

​
Create a Context Pod

1

Open Context Pod

From the sidebar, under Product intelligence.
2

Create a new pod

Click Create new Context Pod (top right). Give it a name (required) and an optional description.
3

Continue to setup

This opens the Add your product details screen, where you connect your sources.

​
Add your sources

A Context Pod accepts five source types. Use as many as you like; the more you add, the deeper Figr’s understanding. The richest source. Show Figr your product in motion.
  • Record a walkthrough directly, with optional microphone narration and full-screen capture
  • Or drag and drop an existing screen recording
A recorded flow tells Figr how screens connect and how users move through them, context a static screenshot cannot carry.

​
Upload files

Drag and drop supporting material: PDFs and design specs, screenshots and images, documents, and other product files.

​
Paste text

Open the note editor, give it a title, and write in the rich-text area. Useful for product overviews, terminology, or notes that do not live in a file. Paste a URL, like your product or marketing site. Figr validates the link and fetches the page so it can read your live content.

​
Add instructions

Free-form guidance that shapes how the agent responds: 
Be concise

Always use our terminology: Workspaces, not Projects

Prioritize mobile patterns
When your sources are in, click Start Building to save the pod.

​
The pod summary

After building, you land on the pod’s summary dashboard. A right-side drawer lists everything linked to the pod, every recording, file, note, link, and instruction, alongside its generated context status. Return here anytime to review what the pod knows or to add and remove sources.

​
Use a Context Pod

A Context Pod only shapes output once you attach it to a prompt.
1

Start a new chat

In a project, start a New chat on the canvas.
2

Open the attachment menu

In the prompt box, open the attachment menu and select Context Pod.

3

Choose your pod

Pick the pod you want. It appears as an active chip on the prompt.

Submit your query and Figr grounds its response in the pod’s sources, referencing your real flows, files, and terminology instead of generic assumptions. Attach the same pod across many projects, so product knowledge follows you everywhere.

​
Context Pod vs Design Language

The two design-intelligence sources do different jobs, and most teams use both.
Context PodDesign Language
CapturesWhat your product is and how it worksHow your product looks
SourcesRecordings, files, text, links, instructionsFigma frames, tokens, component files
ShapesFlows, terminology, behavior, contentColors, typography, spacing, components
OutputDesigns that fit your product’s logicDesigns that match your visual system

​
Why it matters

Without product context, Figr designs from generic assumptions: plausible screens that do not reflect your actual flows, naming, or user needs, and you re-explain your product in every prompt. With a Context Pod attached, that knowledge is always present. Figr already knows your onboarding flow, your terminology, and your constraints, so it designs for your product, not a generic version of it.

​
Best practices

  • Lead with a recording. A walkthrough conveys flow and behavior that files alone cannot.
  • Mix source types: a recording for flow, files for detail, instructions for tone.
  • Keep instructions specific. Concrete rules like “use our terms” or “mobile-first” steer output more than vague ones.
  • Reuse across projects. Build one strong pod and attach it everywhere instead of re-uploading per project.
  • Keep it current. Refresh recordings and links when your product changes so context does not drift.

​
Troubleshooting

IssueFix
Website link will not attachConfirm the URL is valid and public, and wait for the validation check to pass
Pod does not influence a responseMake sure it is attached as a chip on the prompt before submitting
Recording upload failsCheck the file is a supported video format and within the size limit
Output ignores your terminologyAdd an explicit instruction spelling out the terms to use
