Top 3 AI Design Tools for Product Designers
Compare AI Design Tool Picker, AI UX Audit, and AI Design Readiness. Tools for design teams integrating AI into their workflow.
Designing AI-powered experiences is fundamentally different from designing traditional software. AI introduces uncertainty, probabilistic outputs, and trust dynamics that require new design patterns and evaluation frameworks. These three tools help design teams navigate the AI transition — from selecting tools, to auditing AI feature UX, to assessing team readiness.
AI Design Tool Picker
StandardThe AI design tool landscape changes monthly with new products and features. This picker asks about your design workflow, team size, primary tasks, and integration needs to recommend the best AI-powered design tools from a curated database. Product designers and design leaders use this to evaluate new AI tools without spending weeks on trials, build their AI-augmented design workflow, and stay current with the rapidly evolving tool landscape.

Personalized tool recommendations with match scores, pricing, workflow fit
AI UX Audit Scorer
StandardAI features fail when they ignore human-AI interaction principles — unclear confidence levels, no graceful degradation, and poor error recovery destroy user trust. This audit scores your AI feature against guidelines inspired by Microsoft HAX (Human-AI Interaction) research. Product designers use this to identify UX gaps in AI features before launch, ensure designs follow established interaction patterns, and advocate for better AI experiences in product reviews.

Overall UX score, principle-by-principle breakdown, specific improvement recommendations
AI Design Readiness
StandardDesign teams are increasingly expected to design for AI-powered experiences, but most lack the knowledge, processes, and patterns to do it well. This assessment evaluates design team readiness across AI literacy, design patterns, tooling, prototyping capabilities, and cross-functional collaboration. Design leaders use this to build a capability development plan, make informed hiring decisions, and set realistic timelines for AI design initiatives.
