"AI design tools are everywhere right now. But here's the question every designer is asking: Do they actually solve real UI problems - or just generate pretty mockups? To find out, I ran a simple experiment with one rule: no cherry-picking, no reruns - just raw, first-attempt results. I fed 10 common UI design prompts - from accessibility and error handling to minimalist layouts - into 5 different AI tools. The goal? To see which AI came closest to solving real design challenges, unfiltered."
"🛠️ The 5 AI Tools I Tested Here's the lineup I put through the test: Claude AI - Anthropic's model, excellent at contextual understanding, UX writing, and accessibility-focused content. Stitch (Google) - Still in beta, but already showing strength at structured, clean UI layouts. UX Pilot - A specialized AI tool built specifically for user experience and interface design. Mocha AI - Designed for rapid prototyping. (I switched to ChatGPT once my"
A controlled, first-attempt comparison evaluated five AI design tools using ten common UI prompts, including accessibility, error handling, and minimalist layouts. Results consisted of raw single-pass outputs with no reruns or cherry-picking to assess practical problem solving versus purely visual mockups. Tool strengths varied: one model showed strong contextual understanding and UX writing geared toward accessibility, another produced clean, structured layouts, a specialized UX tool emphasized interface patterns, and a rapid-prototyping tool focused on speed. The experiment aimed to reveal which tools deliver actionable design solutions versus cosmetic results.
