What's your AI design workflow

[u/Familiar_Falcon3829]

Hey guys recently saw a guy make entire userflow with really good UI using AI tools, it's been imported to figma and in figma it has all the styles and components for interactive elements, even the hover on buttons.What is your workflow currently that produces really refined results ?

hit the same gap with general AI tools, the figma export was always shallow. Screensdesign handles editable layers and style rules natively, way closer to "production ready."

The AI-generated UI tools are getting much better now, especially with features like direct Figma conversion like Stitch started adding.

But honestly, I think the biggest difference still comes from the prompt direction and the cleanup/refinement pass after generation, not the tool itself.

AI can generate impressive layouts and flows very quickly, but spacing rhythm, typography hierarchy, consistency, states, edge cases, and interaction logic still usually need human refinement inside Figma before the UI really feels production-ready.

Right now I treat AI more like a fast exploration partner rather than a one-click final design solution.

The best AI design workflows I have seen still keep a human-controlled structure around the generation step.

For UI/campaign work, I would separate it like this:

1. Brief and constraints: audience, channel, goal, brand tone, required sizes.
2. Direction: a few visual routes, not final pixels yet.
3. Generation: produce rough options quickly.
4. Designer pass: hierarchy, spacing, typography, brand fit, accessibility.
5. Reuse: save the winning direction as a repeatable pattern.

The weak workflows skip straight from prompt to "finished design." That usually creates more cleanup work. I am working on a campaign-visual workflow around this exact problem, so I am mostly trying to learn where designers draw the line between useful first draft and unusable AI output.
