"But still...most of it feels short-lived and unusable. The generated screens look convincing, but they're treated as placeholders instead of starting points in the ideation process. For instance, when a generated screen needs to reflect a brand's styling, handle real data, or align with existing patterns, the work has to be rebuilt (and the generated UI is tossed). This is simply a mismatch between how UI is generated in AI tools and how products are actually built."
"AI-generated screens typically use visual styles that are neutral, like system-default colors and typography. Though the UI feels "close enough," it's not truly accurate to your product's brand (or any other brand you want to test). And once real branding is introduced, the UI designs break down from the gaps created from the neutral styling used during generation. This ultimately causes rework to better incorporate the product's branding (either restyling elements or starting over completely)."
AI-generated UI tools produce fast, high-quality screens that frequently act as placeholders rather than production-ready components. Neutral styling and system defaults cause designs to break when real brand styles are applied, leading to restyling or complete rebuilds. Generated screens also fail when they lack real data connections and alignment with existing design patterns. Embedding brand context, realistic data, and pattern reuse into the initial generation process yields designs that match product constraints. Incorporating these constraints in prompts reduces rework, enables iteration beyond proof-of-concept, and increases the likelihood of end-to-end adoption in product development.
