The Introduction
"Artificial intelligence won't take your job. But the designer who knows how to use it might."
This sentence changed the way I think.
I didn't enter the AI field out of fear, but out of curiosity. Can it help me write better UX copy? Shorten research time? Open new angles for creativity?
The result?
Not only did it change my work as a designer. It changed my entire thinking about design.
🛠️ Where does artificial intelligence fit into UX work?
I divided my workflow into 5 main stages, and in each stage, artificial intelligence became a work colleague:
1. Research
ChatGPT for analysing user interviews and extracting patterns.
Perplexity for deep searching for existing market solutions.
UserPersona.dev for quickly building initial personas.
2. Ideation
ChatGPT acts like a senior designer proposing flows and solutions.
Midjourney for visual inspiration, layouts, and colours.
Notion AI for playing with UX writing and feature names.
3. Wireframing & Prototyping
Galileo AI and Uizard turn my ideas into wireframes in real-time.
Figma + Genius UI plugin for generating components and suggesting layouts.
4. UI & Assets
DALL·E and Adobe Firefly for generating icons and graphics that match the project.
Runway for creating animation backgrounds.
Khroma for building smart colour palettes.
5. Testing & Feedback
Maze and Useberry for usability testing.
Hotjar AI for intelligently analysing heatmaps and session recordings.
💡 Bonus: Clearer communication with stakeholders.
ChatGPT to turn a complex design decision into a 3-point summary.
Notion AI and Tome to turn random notes into a Case Study or a tidy Deck.
🚀 Summary
Artificial intelligence is not a trend. It isa daily work tool..
It doesn't replace you… but it boosts your productivity and makes you a faster, clearer designer, and closer to your team and clients.
