Product Design & UX / AI Products and Assisted Design

AI-Assisted UX · Delivery Phase (Using AI for Layout Design · Layout-to-Code Figma · Design Review · Showcasing AI Value + Will's Custom UX Metric Teardown Skill)

All AI techniques for the Deliver phase of Will's "AI-Assisted UX Workflow". The real goal of this phase is not to hand off specs to developers, but to distill the project into a presentable portfolio page plus interview talking points. Therefore, all AI techniques center on two things: "rearranging information into a story-telling visual/layout" and "clearly explaining the human-AI collaboration process". Coverage includes: ① Generating multiple layout options (1:1 text extraction from old layout → content direction exploration → direction selection → final image output) ② Optimizing layouts / migrating visual styles (style transfer from reference images, only changing the skin without altering the bones) ③ Layout-to-code & Figma mockup (single-page image → restoration prompt → HTML → reverse-engineer editable source file via Figma Make) ④ Infographic semantic extraction + visual redraw (strip visuals to retain only logic → 5 styling directions → wireframe → apply style) ⑤ Metric-driven design review using the will-ux-metric-teardown skill (reverse-engineer business model/North Star metric, identify issues by Tier 1-3 priority) ⑥ Showcasing AI capabilities and value in projects (for each UX phase, output "what AI did / interview talking points / what evidence to put in PPT"). Each section provides reusable prompt skeletons + Why reasoning + counterexamples. Interpersonal collaboration rules for design review meetings (roles / receiving feedback / turning feedback into actions) are covered in [[google-ux-testing-iteration]]; this article focuses specifically on prompts and workflows for using AI to run layout generation/code conversion/metric review/value articulation.

will-ai-note Getting Started Guide (How beginners can start using this AI-assisted design material pack + route navigation)

Beginner entry page for Will (Xiaohongshu UX job search blogger)'s "AI-Assisted Design" materials. Distills content exclusive to the Let's Start section: ① 6 must-read usage tips before viewing the materials (the product only serves portfolios/interviews, generate AI images in English first then switch to Chinese, download Prompts instead of opening them directly, which parts of the four modules to read, choose Claude between the two tools); ② 5 core capability pillars of the full material set (portfolio narrative / detailed content generation / Vibe Coding / AI capability system / Agent+Skill+MCP) + 3 ready-made combination recipes (end-to-end portfolio from 0 to 1 / quick experience validation); ③ The resume-tailoring skill that comes even earlier than PitchPro (one tailored resume per job posting). Bot usage mindsets, interview question banks, and creative project explanation prompts are all fully overlapping, and point to [[ai-tools-bot-interview]] without rewriting. Targeted at non-technical PMs, with emphasis on Why and onboarding routes.
