A little direction goes a long way
Better design starts
with better decisions.
Practical guides to choosing tools, finding useful references, and building interfaces with AI.
Compare tools
Best design MCP servers: choose by the work you need done
Compare Taste, Figma, Mobbin, Penpot and shadcn/ui for design references, editable canvases and frontend components.
Figma alternatives for developers and small product teams
Choose between Penpot, Sketch and an AI coding workflow with Taste based on whether you need a canvas, a prototype or a working interface.
Mobbin alternatives: choosing a design reference workflow
Compare Mobbin’s product research workflow with Taste’s saved references and personal design context. Both offer AI connections.
Best ChatGPT design tools: references, diagrams and visual assets
Compare Taste, Figma and Canva for different design jobs in ChatGPT, with a practical checklist for choosing the right connection.
Best UI inspiration tools for AI builders
Choose between a personal reference library, product-screen research and component examples, then turn inspiration into a usable design decision.

Use screenshots to infer layout and hierarchy while keeping behavior, components and responsive rules explicit. Includes a reference-to-code prompt.
How to make AI coding tools follow your design system
Give coding agents real components, usage guidance and scoped visual references so new screens fit the product. Includes a component-selection prompt.
Design patterns
Dashboard UI design with AI: start with the decisions
Plan a dashboard around actions, comparisons and data states instead of filling a grid with charts. Includes a support-team example and implementation prompt.
How to design an onboarding flow with AI
Build onboarding around a first useful outcome, with clear steps, resumable progress and recovery paths. Includes a team-workspace example.
How to design a SaaS pricing page with AI
Make plans comparable with clear units, billing periods and limits. Use a concrete pricing-page brief without inventing offers or conversion claims.
Mobile app navigation design: choose destinations before icons
Plan mobile navigation around stable destinations, distinguish actions from locations, and review back behavior and small-screen states.
Form UI design with AI: labels, validation and recovery
Design forms around necessary inputs and recoverable errors. Includes a project-request example and a prompt that specifies more than the happy path.
Settings page UX: organize choices and make saving clear
Design account and workspace settings with understandable scope, predictable saving and clear treatment of consequential actions.
Empty state design: first use, no results and failed loading
Write empty states that explain why a screen is empty and offer the right next action. Includes examples for projects, filters and permissions.
Data table UI design with AI: comparison, sorting and actions
Design a useful table with stable row identity, clear sorting and reviewable selection behavior. Includes a supplier-list example.
