Ask HN: How can I get better at using AI for UI design?

1 points by bhu1st 174 days ago | 2 comments

Platform like like Lovable, Bolt and V0 produce stunningly nice looking UI even for a fairly simple prompt like "Build a modern AI app directory website" but giving similar prompts to ChatGPT or Claude produces a very basic looking web page.

Do you guys have tips or suggestions on how to get better UI designs using ChatGPT, Claude etc?

I haven't tried this myself, but from speaking with peers who are deeper into coding with LLMs, they recommended to try out something like Playwright MCP.

The idea is that you'd use Playwright as a way to automatically give "visual" feedback to the agent, so that it can a) get more accurate with designs it might implement with your chosen frontend styling tech (tailwind, UI kits, etc) and b) be able to iterate on a design without you constantly feeding images into it.
