In today's fast-paced world of technology, integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into your UI/UX design projects/work is more than just a good choice, it has become a part of it in front of the professionals around us. With the introduction of AI in design category, automation has made the work of designers and non-designers easier and faster. Various AI-powered tools and plugins have been developed in the market to truly help you make your design process more efficient, personalized and intelligent. Here's how to add intelligence to your business:
How does AI help your user experience?
AI tools can change how you design or how you take your projects forward by analyzing all the user’s behavior and suggesting you what to do, giving helpful insights like for example One can give a prompt to ChatGPT and it will generate a whole UX table for you , like what functions are important to add, why they are important and how to integrate it in your project hence all the brainstorming part is done by the AI tool and you can freely focus on being creative on how to bring that vision to life. If you’re not a designer then that’s okay too!, there are ton of tools in market that can help with UI part as well.
2. Making Things Personalized
With the help of AI tools, you can generate Personalized content like the way you want, even in Canva now there is an AI tool integrated which gives suggestions according to your search, along with other templates you see a different section of templates all of which are generated by AI as close to our search prompt. Tools like Uizard, Framer etc can also generate and change the layout of a website or app in realtime to ma\tch individual user preferences, making users happier and more engage
3. Automating Tasks
While designing there are many things that are repetitive like resizing image or generating layout etc. AIpowered tools comes in handy in these situations, tools like Adobe Sensei in all Adobe products especially in Photoshop helps designers work smarter not harder. Features like content aware fill, face liquify fill and many more makes it a must tool to have for every designer. It’s like having an Art assistant who does half of your work. Even in Figma’s recently introduced AI feature “Multi Edit” helps us to make changes simultaneously even if the text is in different frames, by clicking on components you want to change text of and then typing what you want to replace it with instead, all the selected layers text changes simultaneously
4. Speeding Up Prototyping
Uizard is the best and most popular example for this. This AI powered tool makes the designing and prototyping part a great boast by automatically generating layouts from our prompts. AI suggests the best design elements and layouts, giving the designer a solid start for his or her project, not to mention it saves a lot of time too. There are still some short comings to it but for the get go where time duration for project is less, this can prove to be a handy tool. There are many other tools like it in market as well making life easier for all.
5. Getting User Feedback
You can get direct feedback from Ai tools as well, in usability testing we can simply run Figma Plugin “Attention Insight”, then select the type of design we are scanning and when the scan is completed , you will see a heatmap on your design telling us where the user’s attention will go towards the most to least in our design. That’s how we can test our designs without even having real users and this can help us a lot to improve and work on our focus points and insert important information in them.
6. Predicting Design Trends
AI tools can also be used to find out the design trends as well, you can simply ask ChatGPT or Bard for it and they will suggest you what color palate to use, what color combo to follow, the content placement, the primary and secondary color for your project. Even would suggest which design style to follow, whether go for bento style or Neomorphism for the project. This helps designers create interfaces that are not only good-looking but are also functional and user friendly. Apart from those two tools there is “Coolors” as well which will generate color schemes for your UI UX project automatically.
Conclusion
You can create a better experience for users by using AI to understand user behavior, personalize experiences, automate tasks, optimize designs, capture user input, predict events, and improve accessibility. As AI technology continues to advance, its role in UI/UX design will become even more important, offering endless possibilities for innovation and improvement.
