The Only AI Tools You Need

These are the AI tools I actually use every day to design, build, and ship faster. No hype - just the stack that works.

Copy the links. Try them out. Replace whatever's slowing you down.

Generate full UI concepts from a single prompt. Describe what you want, and Claude builds clean, production-ready screens using your brand system. No templates, no drag-and-drop - just design by conversation.

Go from research to low-fi to high-fi wireframes with AI. The fastest way to structure a project before you touch a single pixel.

Write every headline, button, and micro-copy. Claude understands context and tone better than any other model I've tested - I use it for every project.

Generate icons, mockups, and hero images for any project. An AI toolkit built specifically for web designers - premium visuals, not stock-photo-AI-slop.

Animate any design straight from Figma. Import your frames, add keyframes, and export production-ready motion for social, product pages, or onboarding flows. No After Effects required.

Edit and refactor code with AI inline. If you're already comfortable in VS Code, Cursor feels like home - but with completions, chat, and codebase-aware suggestions that actually understand your project.

Research anything with real sources, instantly. Competitors, design references, new industries for client projects - sourced answers, not hallucinated guesses.
