AI tools are significantly enhancing the efficiency of UX tasks. They streamline workflows by automating tedious processes, allowing you to focus on more creative and fun parts of your work. Acting as a supportive partner and assistant, these tools let you concentrate on what you truly enjoy doing. Just remember there is an AI tool out there for every step on the way!
We have split the process into 3 phases, for each we will provide tools and tips:
Part 1/3 - Research and planning phase Part 2/3 - Inspiration and ideation phase Part 3/3 - UX/UI Design phase
Part 1/3 - Research and planning phase
1. Audio to text
Stop typing off recordings! Utilize voice transcription AI tools such as Whisper AI to transcribe user interviews or meeting recordings, eliminating the need for manual typing.
If installing Whisper AI is too tedious, there are various mobile apps available for transcription, including Whisper Transcription, Fathom.video, Otter.ai, tldv.io and ChatGPT.

2. Photo to text
Stop typing notes off yourself and let GPT-4 do the work:

Take a photo of every physical writing (for example, workshop post-its), load it into
ChatGPT-4 to transcribe it, and let it group similar categories together.

Photograph whiteboards or hand-written notes. GPT-4 is very good at recognizing writing and
transcribing it for you.
3 . Summarize To Do’s
Summarize all inputs you get from clients, collagues in notes, tickets or emails:

Summarize client inputs or Jira tickets with ChatGPT to make them more comprehensible.
Organize your design To-Dos in a structured list for yourself and others.

Copy paste all your related ticket information, notes and chat messages and summarize your to do.
4. UX Personas
Create additional user personas with GPT by copying your real personas or by providing demographic details.
Generate pain points and user stories for all personas.
Prompt for Creating Personas, User Stories, and Pain Points:

6. Mood boards with AI
Create mood boards with AI tools to convey a feeling for colors, icons, images, and overall look and feel.Split the generation of your moodboard into different parts:
Colors
Images
Look and feel
Icons
Moodboard - Colors
Color palettes are not a specialty of Midjourney or other image generators, so use specialized AI color palette tools like Khroma khroma.co, which lets you choose 50 colors and then trains a model based on your likes.
Or use Eva Design Systems colors.eva.design, where you specify the first color and it will generate coordinating colors for you.

Khroma khroma.co

Moodboard - Images
Create different mood board images with Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, Leonardo.ai, or similar image generators.
If you are looking for free alternatives, check out Fulljourney.
For real-time image creation based on shapes you provide, you can use Krea.

8. UX Flows and Problem-solving with ChatGPT
During the UX phase, you can use ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4o, or Custom GPTs from the GPT Store like “UX GPT” to tackle complex design problems.
Examples:
Provide UX flow formultilevel checkboxes
Give ideas for UX flowswith the goal to ...
UX review this page: [insert URL]

Example: “what is a good ux flow for a multimlevel menu?”
9. UX Flows and Problem-solving with ChatGPT
After or during the UX phase, you can use ChatGPT-4, ChatGPT-4o, or Custom GPTs from the GPT Store like “UX GPT” to analyze your designs.

“UX analysis of [insert screenshot]”
10. Presentation with AI support
Use tools like Gamma.app to create instant professional presentations and export them as PowerPoint/PDF or publish them online.
Use ChatGPT to explain your concept ideas more professionally and spellcheck all your presentation slides.

Gamma.app is the best Powerpoint AI generator that we found in our research.
Takeaway:
Use AI tools and techniques to transform your UI/UX design process. From initial research and planning to prototyping, testing, and continuous improvement, AI can be a powerful ally in creating exceptional user experiences.
