That’s why we should embrace working with AI as our tool and partner.

As a solo designer in my current project, I’ve had the opportunity to extensively spar with ChatGPT, enabling me to efficiently gain insights on the topics I need to work on. Hence, I want to share my UI/UX workflow with AI in this article.

To start with, you can seek advice from ChatGPT on best practices and examples. Here are the prompts I use to gather insights:

Question 1: ask for the best practices.
