How Can AI Tools Help UI and UX Designers?

This is the age of Artificial Intelligence and we are currently in the middle of a huge shift. AI is transforming processes in ways we never could have imagined. Apart from generating art, code, and text, AI is set to change a lot of other domains.

If you are a UI (User Interface) or a UX (User Experience) designer, it is natural for you to question how AI can help you.

The good news for all the UI and UX folks is that AI can help you. We are not shocked that you didn’t know this already because AI tools have been spawning quicker than an average player in Minecraft.

These AI tools can help you with many tasks like automation, user testing, and prototyping. Let’s have a detailed look at these tools and how can they make you more productive.

1. Uizard

Prototyping is usually a time-consuming feat and every UI designer dreads prototyping on a tight deadline. Uizard allows you to prototype quickly with the help of wireframes for the front-end interface of a product. You can upload manually drawn sketches to quickly convert them into wireframes. Uizard also uses AI to translate the wireframe into a high-fidelity design.

You can also use Uizard to create mockups using a simple text prompt or even a screenshot. There are also multiple templates available that you can use to avoid making a design from scratch. It also lets you control the fidelity of your design using a toggle bar so you can iterate on the wireframes instead of the actual design. Uizard is great for beginners or designers on a tight deadline. It is also very helpful for teams stuck in design bottlenecks.

2. Fronty

Converting design to code is as important as it is nightmarish for a UX Designer. It is time-consuming and often has chances of a lot of mistakes. Fronty’s AI lets you convert webpage design to code in minutes. It is great for designers who do not know how to code. You can easily convert your jpeg image into HTML CSS code without any hassle. The best part is that the code is clean source, which makes it easy to work on.

Fronty makes it super easy for UX designers to organize their design to deployment processes. One important thing, since Fronty and all the other tools are online, you need to ensure you have dependable internet like Xfinity. If you are mid-work and there is an outage, Xfinity customer service is quick to fix the issue. Therefore, make sure you are using an internet connection that won’t let you down when you are working on a high-priority design task.

3. Attention Insight

UX design is all about designing a webpage or a product that optimizes the user experience. For this, UX designers often need to conduct user testing extensively. AI can help you in this regard too. Attention Insight enables UX designers to predict how users will interact with their products, while they are designing them. This is done with the help of analytics and heat maps using AI. These analytics are driven by algorithms that simulate humans’ visual behaviors.

You can use Attention Insight’s analytics to add an AI-powered layer of testing to their product, landing page, ads, and even packaging. You get feedback quickly so you can make adjustments while in the design stage. With attention heatmaps, focus maps, and clarity scores, you can predict how successful their product will be with the users. You can also use the tool to compare their designs in terms of usability.

4. MonkeyLearn

UX design needs a lot of decision-making in the design process. These decisions help in maximizing the efficiency and usability of the product. So it is understandable for designers to use data and analytics to help in their decision-making. MonkeyLearn allows you to analyze text-based qualitative data. It uses Machine Learning models to extract useful insights from the text-based data.

You can connect various data sources like emails, surveys, social media, public platforms, etc., in one place for smooth analysis. MonkeyLearn has pre-built models for text analysis but allows you to customize your own text classification models with the parameters of your choice. You can also visualize the data for better retention and understanding. These AI-powered insights allow you to make informed decisions for your designs and ensure product success.

That is it for the AI tools that can help you as a UI or a UX designer. However, these are the tip of the iceberg. There are several other really powerful AI tools that can further improve your design workflows. Moreover, so many new tools are being launched almost every day. All you need to do is follow the relevant thought leaders to see what is new in the market. You should also be open to exploring new tools to become more productive.

Here’s to intelligent designing!
