# Design Inspiration

> Figr draws from design patterns and references to create better solutions. This happens automatically, behind the scenes, to inform every design it generates.

## What Find Inspiration Does

Find Inspiration searches for relevant design patterns, proven approaches, and visual references. But unlike a mood board tool, it doesn't show you the inspiration. It uses it internally to produce better outputs. Inspiration informs:

* Layout decisions
* Component patterns
* Visual approaches
* Interaction models
* Industry conventions

## [​](#how-figr-uses-inspiration)How Figr Uses Inspiration

When you ask for a design, Figr automatically looks for relevant patterns and references. This happens in the background to make outputs smarter.

```text theme={null}
Example:
You ask: "Design a pricing page"

Behind the scenes, Figr:
- References high-converting pricing patterns
- Considers industry-standard layouts
- Draws from proven comparison table approaches
- Applies best practices for plan presentation

You get: A pricing page informed by patterns 
that work, not generic guesswork.
```

## [​](#when-inspiration-activates) When Figr Draws on Inspiration

Figr engages inspiration gathering automatically when it helps. You don't usually need to ask for it. **Automatic activation:**

* Designing common screen types (dashboards, settings, checkout)
* Creating standard components (tables, forms, cards)
* Building industry-specific interfaces
* Generating layouts for familiar use cases

**You can also explicitly ask Figr to seek inspiration:**

* "Find inspiration for creative empty states, then design ours"
* "Look at best-in-class onboarding patterns and apply them to our flow"
* "Draw from modern dashboard designs for this analytics view"

## What You Get

You don't see the inspiration directly. You see the result: designs that are informed by proven patterns rather than invented from nothing.

| **Without inspiration**                                           | **With inspiration**                                                                                  |

| Generic layouts, reinvented wheels, patterns that might not work. | Designs grounded in what's proven, informed by industry standards, building on successful approaches. |

## Getting Best Results

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Let Figr do its Job">
    Most of the time, you don't need to ask for inspiration. Figr automatically draws from relevant patterns when generating designs.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Be Specific When Asking">
    If you explicitly want inspiration-driven output:

    * "Draw from best-in-class examples to design..."
    * "Use proven patterns for..."
    * "Apply industry best practices to..."
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Trust the Output">
    The inspiration is baked into results. You won't see a mood board, but you'll see designs that feel grounded and well-considered.
