AI wireframing with Figma

“

- [Instructor] In this video, you'll learn some tips for using generative AI tools for UX design, key AI concepts and terms, and what's coming next for your design practice. I'll walk you through how I use AI for creating wireframes and evolving the design. In Figma, you have the Figma community, which has templates, plugins, and UI kits to help get you started on your next project. It's also helpful for finding AI tools that you can integrate into your practice. Some of the tools that I enjoy using are WireGen, and I'll show you how I use this tool and search for it in the search bar in the community, and you'll find it here. If you don't already have it installed, you can open it in your Figma application by selecting the Open In button. I already have it installed, so I'm going to switch over to my Figma file. Now I am in my Figma file, and I'm going to select the plugin WireGen from the elements where you have options for components, plugins, and widgets. This is where I can add in prompts for generating wireframes with AI. So I've used this AI integration to create a prompt for creating a wireframe showing nature trails and points of attraction. This plugin shares some information about what should be included in the design, from the header to maps and trail lists, points of attraction, and additional details that would be helpful for the user. It also shows a preliminary wireframe for phone and for desktop, and you can use this as a starting point for building out your design, and the idea is that you would use this as a reference and continue to build and grow it over time. You can also copy this design to Figma and have it open in your app and build on top of this design and customize it as needed. So now I'm showing you an example of wireframes that were created with this tool and ways that you can continue to grow and optimize it and evolve it over time, and you would want to do this through research with your users, whether that's primary research with the people who will use your product, but also secondary research, like the research through AI tools or through journals and through other articles and organizations that conduct research that's relevant for your product and service.
