AI UX Design Tools
🗒️ Description
A landscape of AI tools that support product design — from methodology (skills that teach the agent how to drive the product process from mission to measurable value) to generative platforms (which generate wireframes and hi-fi UI in seconds).
Two different paradigms, complementary:
- Process-first: the agent walks you through decisions (audience → need → metric → validation) before you touch Figma. Example: UX RULER.
- Output-first: the agent generates ready screens from a prompt / PRD / sketch. Example: UX Pilot.
In practice the sensible stack is: UX RULER for decisions and product memory (PRODUCT.md, ROADMAP.md) + UX Pilot for quick visualization of selected hypotheses.
