I used AI tooling in regular Figma Design (so not Figma Make). Asked to create some explorations of a basic mobile tracking app for babies.
It didn't do one single thing right. Even the most junior designer would've done a better job. I believe my prompt was descriptive enough:
Design a tracking app for baby feeds, sleeps and diaper changes. Show time since latest feed and the amount. Show time since latest sleep and the duration. Show time since latest diaper change.
Focus on accessibility and readibility. Use increments of 4px in sizes, marges and paddings. Use a soft color palette and rounded corners. Make it friendly and easy on the eyes.
This is what Figma came up with:
I took the exact same prompt in Stitch and it generated a whole lot of explorations I could export into Figma and further tinker with.
Also, Figma Make seemingly isn't able to create just designs. It develops the actual app. But sometimes I just need designs. Nothing more, nothing less.
What are your experiences with Figma's AI toolkit? Am I doing something wrong?
