UI design generation with Autodesigner

Once you've outlined your idea and style preferences, Autodesigner works its magic generating a comprehensive prototype complete with essential components, images, and placeholder text. It even includes interactions for seamless navigation when viewed as an interactive prototype in the preview function.

How to use prompts to edit and expand on your UI design

Use prompts to edit and expand on your UI design in Uizard. From generating new design screens, to applying an entire new theme to your project, you can do it all with text prompts.

Generate new screens to expand on your UI design

Whether you used Uizard’s AI UI design generator to create a multi-screen UI design, you started with one of Uizard’s UI templates, or you have just the one screen ready to expand on, you can use the Autodesigner widget to generate new screens and go from text to UI design in seconds.

Access the Autodesigner widget at the bottom of your screen, select the prompt option, and enter a description of the desired screen. Once you've generated the screen, browse through several options, and select your preferred one with ease. You can then use it directly, click 'use screen', or drag and drop it into position. These generated screens remain accessible at the bottom of your screen throughout your project until you reset them, providing continuous support for your product process.

You can create several screens using this method, and you can then use the mapping tool to connect the screens and use the ‘preview’ function to view it as a clickable prototype.

With just the click of a button, all of your UI design screens will update to align with your theme specifications, ensuring a unified and aesthetically pleasing UI design. So whether you want to quickly visualize your project in dark mode, or want to switch up all of the CTAs from rounded buttons to square ones, you can do just that with Theme Generator.

Generate color palettes with a text prompt

Want to explore various color options, without updating the full theme? You can use text prompts to generate new color palettes for your components using the color palette generator.

First, select the component you wish to update, and then use the in-line toolbar to access the color options. Next, navigate to the ‘Fill’ option. Then, use the "Generate" option and input your prompt for a color palette, and watch as your palette concepts materialize before your eyes. With a simple click, you can incorporate any of the generated colors to your UI design.

For example, if you’re creating a news app UI design, you can type “newspaper” into the color generator and it will provide suggested colors based on your prompt.
