“A Guide to AI Prototyping for Product Designers,” published on UX Collective, explores how AI is reshaping the way designers approach prototyping. Authored by Ben, the article frames AI not as a standalone product but as a transformative platform influencing both the design process and the roles involved in creating digital experiences. It highlights the increasing integration of AI into prototyping workflows, allowing designers to generate concepts, predict interactions, and streamline design iteration in ways that accelerate innovation.
The guide introduces key tools and platforms relevant to AI prototyping, such as ChatGPT, Framer, and other generative AI solutions. It discusses how these tools enable rapid testing, automated idea generation, and more dynamic user experience simulations, ultimately expanding the creative possibilities for product designers. Practical takeaways include leveraging AI to prototype smarter, involve cross-functional teams earlier, and embrace AI-driven insights to inform final design decisions.
