Text-to-UI
What this task is
Turning product requirements into wireframes and clickable prototypes that define the information layout and user flow, which are then used for reviews and handed off to developers.
How AI replaces it
Since 2024, text-to-UI tools generate multi-page interactive prototypes from a description and apply design system components automatically. Routine page prototyping should be largely AI-handled by around 2028.
What stays human
Designers map out user flows, weigh alternative solutions against each other, and make the final interaction and experience decisions on the screens that matter most to users.
