Design

Information architecture and workflow sparring

Use AI to discuss architecture and workflow options, helping structure tradeoffs and explore alternative approaches.

Why the human is still essential here

The designer ensures the IA/workflow matches user needs, domain rules, and technical constraints; AI output must be reviewed and adapted.

How do you use AI in your daily work?

I know this was asked before, but I’m curious again.

Right now I mostly use generative AI for:

UX copy

A/B thinking and general UX advice

Architecture and workflow discussions

Brainstorming broad ideas

Sometimes I test complex UI ideas in tools like Claude, especially when Figma gets heavy. But overall, I rely mostly on ChatGPT as an assistant to think through problems.

In my case, AI still needs strong input from me. It rarely gives solutions that are fully usable without refinement.

For context, I work on a niche financial platform. The UX challenges are quite specific, and often AI doesn’t have enough context to give answers.

I see a lot of hype on LinkedIn about no-code, heavy automation, “AI doing 75% of design,” etc. But I don’t really see that working in my case. Even for simple landing pages, results feel generic. Maybe I’m using the wrong tools or not prompting well.

Lately my focus is more on management and strategy, while still designing daily.

How are you using AI beyond what I described?
