AI “design chatbots” are assistants you can talk to inside your design stack — to generate wireframes, iterate layouts, write microcopy, turn prototypes into code, or even run user interviews. Below we summarize what’s new in 2025, the best tools by job‑to‑be‑done, and ready‑to‑use workflows.
What’s new in 2025: Key trends
- Prompt‑to‑UI goes mainstream. Tools like Figma Make, Vercel v0 and Uizard now generate usable screens and components from natural language, then let you refine via chat.
- Design‑system aware copilots. New agents can respect tokens and components, reducing the “pretty but unusable” problem.
- Research copilots move into the toolchain. Platforms like Maze add AI‑moderated interviews and automated analysis; summaries and themes are now instant.
- Text‑first & conversational interfaces rise. Products lean back into chat, command palettes, and voice — rewarding clear UX writing and information design.
Top chatbot‑style tools for UI designers
Figma Make (AI)
Create screens, prototypes, rename layers, and more with built‑in AI. Great for teams already in Figma.
Learn more →Vercel v0
Chat generates production‑ready React components with Tailwind; iterate in conversation.
How it works →Uizard Autodesigner 2.0
Generate editable, multi‑screen prototypes and iterate with prompts. Handy for quick UX concepts.
Try Uizard →Builder.io Visual Copilot
Convert Figma designs to React/Vue/Angular/etc. and keep iterating the code via natural‑language prompts.
Figma to code →Maze
AI‑moderated interviews and automated analysis to validate UI quickly.
See Maze →Relume AI Site Builder
Chat your way to sitemaps, wireframes, and first‑draft copy; export to Figma/Webflow.
Relume AI →Practical AI‑driven workflows for UI design
1) Brief → Prototypes (Uizard + Figma)
- Write a plain‑English brief: target user, main goal, must‑have tasks.
- Generate a multi‑screen prototype with Uizard Autodesigner 2.0 from a single prompt.
- Refine structure and interactions in Uizard; pick from alternative proposals.
- Export to Figma to apply your design system (tokens, components) and wire user flows.
2) Prompt → Layouts (Figma AI)
- Provide brand tokens/variables (color, type, spacing) and component names.
- Use Figma Make to draft screens: e.g., “Mobile dashboard with KPI cards, filter chips, table with sticky header.”
- Iterate via chat: ask for spacing tweaks, component swaps, and responsive variants.
- Convert to components, bind tokens, and document usage notes inline.
3) Prototype → Responsive site (Framer AI)
- Paste copy and a short prompt to generate a responsive web layout in Framer AI.
- Adjust sections and interactions; preview on real breakpoints.
- Ship a live preview for stakeholders; collect quick feedback before full build.
FAQs & buying tips
- Will AI replace designers? No — the winners use AI to explore more options, validate faster, and ship with higher craft.
- What about IP & privacy? Use enterprise controls (no data retention, private mode) and check vendor docs before uploading sensitive files.
- How do I keep outputs on‑brand? Feed tokens/components, provide exemplars, and ask the bot to justify choices against your design principles.
