This UX Planet article explores how designers can integrate ChatGPT-4o into the user interface (UI) design workflow to speed up ideation, content generation, and structure planning. Author Nick Stoyanov documents a hands-on test to determine how effectively ChatGPT-4o can assist in generating wireframe layouts, component logic, copy suggestions, and interaction flows based solely on prompt-driven input. The article evaluates the practical strengths and limitations of using AI for visual interface tasks, particularly in low-fidelity prototyping and UI/UX text ideation.
Stoyanov concludes that while ChatGPT-4o isn’t a replacement for visual design tools like Figma, it excels at helping designers kick off projects faster—especially during early concept exploration. It’s useful for turning vague ideas into tangible UI structures or copy, sparking creative direction, and even creating documentation or design rationale outlines. However, the article also cautions that AI-generated outputs should be carefully evaluated and refined by human designers to ensure usability and brand consistency.
