Top 10 AI Tools Every UI/UX Designer Needs in 2026
Introduction
If you're a UIUX designer, you already know how much time
goes into designing, prototyping, and gathering user feedback. But what if I
told you there are some amazing tools out there that can help you design
effortlessly, saving your time and energy? By the end of this video, you'll
know exactly which AI tools you should use to boost your workflow and take your
designs to the next level. I'm Brian from Learners and let's get started.
Smart Design Tools
Google Stitch for Fast UI Layouts
The first category that we are going to look at is smart
design tools. Designing
a user-friendly interface is the first step for any UIUX
designer. To help you with that, there's an AI tool called Google Stitch.
Google Stitch is a tool that turns your prompts into a complete app or web
design and lets you download the code for it. You can also import them into
your usual design tools like Figma or Adobe XD. So to do that, just click the
link in the description and it'll take you to this page here. to describe the
kind of design that you want. I'm going to ask it to create a
food ordering app and click generate designs. And you'll see
the suggestions for all the key screens your app needs like the home screen,
menu, and the auto summary. Once you review them, click make them all and it'll
create a complete design including all the screens that are needed for your
app. You can also easily make changes to these designs. Just click edit theme.
Here you can customize things like colors, shapes, fonts, and even the overall
design style to match your brand or personal taste. So I'm
going to change the color to red and click apply theme. And
you can see that the color palette has been changed in our design. You can also
easily transfer your designs to Figma to customize them manually. So to export
your design to Figma, just click here to copy the design. Then go to your Figma
account and paste it here like this. Pretty simple, right? So, if you want to
create engaging UI designs quickly and smoothly, check out Google Sticks.
Turning Designs into Interactive Prototypes
Google AI Studio
All right, now that we have our design ready, the next step
is
to see how it actually works as a real app. To do that,
we'll need an interactive prototype. Something that lets us test how users move
through it, click buttons, and navigate screens. So, to create an interactive
prototype, first let's download these designs. Just select all of them like
this. Then, click here and click download, and it'll be saved as a zip folder.
Next, open a new tab and search for Google AI Studio. Then, click on the first
link. Now, click new app. And this is where we'll upload our
designs. To do that, go to your download zip folder, right
click on it, and select extract all. Then, click extract again. Once extracted,
open the folder. And you'll see separate files for each of your designs. Let's
open the browse restaurant file. And this is the HTML code for a design which
we need to upload. So to upload it, just drag and drop the HTML file here. And
in the same way, we can drag and drop the HTML file of all the designs one by
one. Once that is done here, type a simple prompt like
make this app real and click build. And that's it. We've got
an interactive demo of our app. Now you can navigate between pages, add
products to the cart, view it, check it out, and even place an order.
Lou for No-Code Interactive Demos
All right, now let's look at one more AI tool that can help
you create interactive prototypes effortlessly. With Lou, you can turn your
design into a fully functional demo quickly and easily without any complex
tools or coding. Just click the link in the description and it'll take you to
La. Click on get

designs and upload them. Then here, type a simple prompt to convert your
designs into an interactive demo. Click here and within seconds, your design
will be transformed into a fully functional app which you can interact with and
test. So now I can search for hotels, check out the details and book them just
like a real user would do. All right, so far we've seen
two tools, one for designing layouts, another for creating
interactive demos to test them.
All-in-One Design and Prototype Tool
The next tool on the list is user. This tool helps you
create both UI designs and its interactive prototype using just a single
prompt. This makes the whole process quick and easy. So to do that, just click

with the interactive demo. To preview it just click here and just like that we
have easily created a design and an interactive demo in no time.
UX Research Tools
Plexity for Research and Reports
Okay. Now let's move on to the next category which is UX
research
tools. Before designing a UI for any app or website, a UIUIX
designer first does research on things like user behavior, competent analysis,
market trends, and business goals. This helps in creating a design that's both
effective and userfriendly. And with the help of these tools, you can do all
that easily while saving a lot of time. The tool that's going to help us with
that is Plexity. It helps you find the latest information quickly and create a
report so you can make better design choices like using
the right layout, fixing confusing parts of the design, and
making the design easier and more enjoyable for the users. So to do that, just

just type that, click here, and it'll be done instantly. This helps you to turn
your research into simple and useful ideas that you can use right away.
UX Writing
Using Chat GPT for UX Copy
All right. Now let's move on to the next category which is
UX writing. UX writing is basically the practice of writing the text you see
inside apps and websites like buttons, error messages and instructions to help
users navigate
and use the product easily. The main goal is to make the
experience clear, friendly and helpful so users always know what to do next.
And the tool that's going to help us with that is none other than Chad GPT.
Chat GP will help you write clear, userfriendly messages, button text, error
messages, and so much more that your product feels easy and natural to use. So,
let's check it out. Just click the link in the description and it'll take you
to Chad GPD. For better results, you can use the
same prompt that I'm using by clicking the link below this
video or simply entering your own prompt based on your needs. I'm going to copy
this prompt and paste it here. Once you've entered the prompt, just click here.
Then chip it will ask you to upload images of your app so it can generate the
right text for your designs. So just go to Figma, select all the designs like
this and click export. Now go back to charge, click on the plus icon, click on
add photos and files and upload your design
like this. Then send it by clicking here. And that's it. It
has generated all the UX writing elements like button labels, error messages,
pop-ups, and more in just a few seconds. You can now copy this generated text
and add it directly to your UI images or Figma frames.
Getting Feedback on Design and Content
Okay, now that we've got the content for our design ready,
it is important to know how well everything works together. Is the design easy
to use? And does the content make sense to the user? To make sure we're on the
right track, the next step is to get feedback on both the
design and the content so we can improve it before moving forward. To do that,
we're going to use a simple prompt. And to use the same prompt that I'm going
to use, just click the link in the description and copy the complete prompt
like this. Now, paste the prompt on JP. Upload the images of your designs. and
click here. And as you can see, it has given us feedback and suggestions on how
we can improve both the design and the content
for a smoother and better user experience.

image and icon generation. To provide a better user experience, it is not just
about the design and the content. The icons and the images you use are just as
important as any other element. They should match the overall style and feel of
your design so that everything looks consistent and is easy to understand for
the user. So to get the icons that match your design perfectly, we're going to
use a tool called Gravity Right. Gravity
