AI tools should feel like natural extensions of how people already work. Most AI tools have a chatbot interface, which forces designers to interact with linear and rigid interfaces that break their natural workflow. My personal project is to redesign how people interact with creative AI tools.

Creative AI tools have the same linear chatbot interface which forces designers to work in a predetermined structure. While the models were getting advanced, the interface still felt unintuitive. I wanted to focus on the core workflow the designs experience while interacting with AI models and understand how to design better tool for AI.

Users can choose which model to generate the output. After getting the output in a draggable block on the infinite canvas, users can drag out one particular block from the generated output and ask further questions. This lets users to interact more intuitively with dragging elements across the canvas.

Early testing revealed a fundamental problem I hadn’t anticipated: even the best AI interface becomes useless if it forces people to leave their primary workspace. My first instinct was to build everything into one platform - AI generation, vector tools, photo editing, the works. I quickly realized this was unrealistic given the complexity and my technical limitations.
