Designer who builds with AI. Everyone can ship now, taste is what's left. Daily notes on UI, craft and building in public.

@achxvi Generating a good looking screen is solved. Deciding which screen should exist and what to cut isn’t, and when everyone gets the same polish for free, that’s where products start to feel different

@Jayyanginspires More people on the platform also means more noise. The personal brands that win now are the ones with a clear point of view, not the ones posting the most.

@andrew_jennings Models now differ more in taste than in raw capability, so picking one per job is closer to picking a designer than picking a tool.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@jordienr Same goes for status pages. If the company explains clearly and early, there's less room for rumors to fill the gap.

@levelsio The scary part isn't the hallucination, it's that it's invisible by default. When AI edits reality silently, the interface owes you a 'this was altered' signal.

@twtayaan This is the biggest questions I think about nearly every day: how will our society look like in 5 years.

AI will radically change how we work and collaborate, but the question is how.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

AI isn’t great at creating new things. It’s great at the repetitive work: maintaining components, design tokens and keeping the overview. So I hand it that and keep the new stuff for myself.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@fnthawar So true in an era of AI!

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@Denche2005 To be honest yes, I’m a designer and I really like to create new things. AI isn’t that good in creating new things, but very good in repetitive tasks like maintaining components, creating design tokens and overview everything.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@dvtzo Ideate → Prototype → Test

This cycle needs to be super fast when creating new things.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@mitchellh There will be a huge gap between bad and good companies. Bad companies will produce ai generated ads. Good companies will care about craft and quality.

@soyoctaviosimon What was your framework to get there?

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@leo1yu Love it

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@Jayyanginspires It’s all about getting out of your comfort zone!

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@gabrielvaldivia @soleio It is so important, that you learn AI tools as a designer from the beginning, but don’t use it the wrong way.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

I love seeing innovations like this. It’s a reminder for myself that there’s still so much to build and explore beyond AI.

Real life, baby

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

These days I do a lot of designing with AI. What do I mean by that? I’m building systems that AI can easily use (hopefully).

How do you approach this? What are your best practices?

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

@Symedia_ @jordienr It heavily depends on the niche. My comment was more about B2C brands.

[Paul Kühl @paukhl]

AI made building easy, but it didn't make it good.

I think a lot about how AI will shape the future of design. My bet is that when everyone can build fast, good design becomes the biggest lever for fast moving companies.

Sharing what I learn along the way, and always curious to hear what founders, designers and investors think.
