UI/UX are critical elements of digital product design that can determine the success of a digital product (website or application). Fortunately, AI tools help simplify the UI/UX design process, save time, and improve the overall design quality.
This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to use 4 AI tools to speed up the design process.

4 artificial intelligence tools for UI/UX Design
Next, we will see how ChatGPT, Midjourney, Adobe Sensei & VisualEyes can be used to design user interfaces and user experiences. Each of these tools helps the product design team and UI/UX designers at some point in the design process.
Let’s start with chatGPT.
1. Plan your design with the help of ChatGPT
Before entering the design process, it is necessary to have a plan. Using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to create a tree structure and sitemap and copywriting is one of the effective planning methods. ChatGPT creates a sitemap of the intended website with examples of layouts, headlines, subheadlines, and possible paragraphs. So there will be no need for Lorem Ipsum.
Lorem Ipsum is a meaningless phrase that designers use to fill the empty spaces of the website so that appropriate and meaningful textual content can be placed later. Lorem Ipsum helps to show what the text will look like when a piece of content is finished, during the planning stage. This means that when a designer sends their template to a client, they won’t be distracted by the text on the screen and will only focus on the design.
Designing with ChatGPT is a new way to quickly design high-quality websites. ChatGPT produces content that is in line with the brand’s voice, taking into account the purpose of the website’s activity, the target audience, and its preferences.
In the following, we will provide a quick tutorial on how to use ChatGPT for UI/UX projects. For each step, there is an image that shows how the chatbot responds to the designer.
- First, you need to educate and inform ChatGPT about your business and introduce your target customers to him.
- Tell Chat what you want it to do.
- Review the output and make the necessary changes.
2. Make graphic designs with the help of Mid journey
Midjourney is an AI tool that uses machine learning to create professional graphics. With Midjourney, you can easily design logos, social media posts, website banners, and other interesting graphics. This tool uses machine learning to generate design ideas. By using it, you will be able to change the design elements according to your wish.
Midjourney also offers a great opportunity for group collaboration. With this tool, team members can share their design ideas at once. It’s a great tool to differentiate the quality of your images and impress your audience.
Steps to work with Midjourney
- First, you need to start and run the stable diffusion engine in your system. Stable Diffusion is a deep learning model that takes text commands and provides the output as an image.
- Download Discord and create an account. Discord is a free messaging platform that allows people to share voice, video, and text chats with friends, gaming communities, and web developers. Discord has hundreds of millions of users, making it one of the most popular ways to connect with people online.
After going through the membership process, type settings/ in the newbie’s channel in Discord. For most people, the existing settings work. The most important setting is the first setting or the engine that creates your design. If you want to have a real photo, work with MJ version 4, and if you want to design your website animated and animated, choose Niji mode.
- Now tell the AI what you want. Consider that you want to generate many different images for your website. In the prompt, in addition to the necessary descriptions, there should also be the term UI/UX so that artificial intelligence knows that you need a user interface design. The scale at which you want your design to be created should also be written.
Once the images are created, you will have two options. You can get ideas from the generated images and create different images similar to them or use the same ones.
3. Get help from Adobe Sensei to edit images
Adobe Sensei is a tool equipped with artificial intelligence that helps you in image editing. This tool uses machine learning to analyze images and provide suggestions for improving them.
For example, if you have a photo with an annoying background, Sensei will remove it and replace it with a better background. This tool also offers color correction, cropping images and even adding special effects to your images. This tool makes it easy to edit images created with Midjourney.
4. Perform user tests with the VisualEyes tool
VisualEyes is an artificial intelligence tool that helps designers understand how users interact with their designs by showing the user’s eye path. Using Visual Eyes for UI/UX design includes several steps:
- First, the designer has to select the design he wants to test (the website or application that is complete and ready).
- Then, set the test parameters in VisualEyes by specifying the target audience, the number of users, and the duration of the test. During testing, VisualEyes simulates the user’s eye path while interacting with the design and records their eye movements, clicks, and scrolls.
- After the test, VisualEyes provides a report of the test results including the time spent on each element and the part of the design that attracted the most attention.
- The designer analyzes the results and uses the insights gained to optimize the design and user experience.
- Finally, the designer repeats the test with different user groups to identify other issues that may exist and need to be addressed.
