These AI empty loading and error states for Figma cover eight moments every AI product has, with a clear message and one next step on each card. This is the dark version, made for products that live in dark mode.

What is included

  • An empty chat with a gradient mark and two suggestion chips
  • A thinking state with a skeleton and a Stop button
  • A something went wrong card with Try again and an error code
  • An offline card, a rate limit card with a countdown ring and a no results card
  • A can not help with this card with two safe options, and a model is busy card with a switch button

Where to use it

Use it for chat apps, AI tools and any product that waits on a model and sometimes fails.

Design notes

Every card says what happened and what to do next in one or two short sentences. Icons use a soft tinted circle, red for errors, amber for waiting and indigo for neutral help. The dark theme uses a #0B0D14 background, #141824 cards, #F3F4F8 text and the same indigo #5B5BF0 accent.

Built for editing

Spacing follows a 4 point scale and layers have clear names, so developers can find what they need. The file uses Plus Jakarta Sans, both free on Google Fonts, and every color is a fill you can change in the fill panel. Text pairs stay above 4.5 to 1 contrast.

How to use it

Copy the component with the copy button and paste it into Figma with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V. The layers keep their auto layout, so you can edit text, colors and spacing. Install the free Google Fonts first so the text looks the same. All names and numbers in the file are sample content.
