NINJA AI TOOL

🄷 Design Full UI Screens With a Single Prompt.

AI is moving fast in creative fields, but when it comes to UX design, most tools either crank out cookie-cutter templates or leave you stuck fine-tuning everything yourself.

UX Pilot aims to strike a better balance: it's an AI-powered UX design platform that helps you go from idea to high-fidelity UI in minutes—without losing creative control.

In plain terms, UX Pilot lets you generate wireframes and fully designed screens just by describing what you want in natural language. Then, it builds out responsive, editable layouts that you can refine to match your brand, aesthetic, or product goals.

It’s like having a tireless junior designer that can mock up ideas instantly and actually listen to your directions.

Key Features:

  • AI Wireframer: Auto-generate flexible wireframes for mobile and desktop.

  • Hi-Fi Designer: Create polished, pixel-perfect UI screens in seconds.

  • Figma Integration: Set visual direction and tweak styles directly in Figma.

  • Smart Controls: Use text prompts and precise tools to shape your screens.

  • Unlimited Variations: Explore tons of layout and UI options quickly.

  • Prototype-Ready Output: Get designs you can build from right away.

  • Reference Matching: Import design inspiration and have AI match the look.

How You Might Actually Use It:

  • Quickly mock up flows for client feedback without starting from scratch.

  • Generate multiple visual directions to explore with a team or stakeholder.

  • Save hours on repetitive screens (think onboarding, login, dashboards).

  • Turn napkin-sketch ideas into clickable prototypes before lunch.

Who It’s Best For:

  • Freelance UX/UI designers needing to deliver work faster.

  • Product teams building MVPs or iterating quickly.

  • Developers who want a visual jump-start without learning design tools.

  • Agencies juggling lots of client work with limited design bandwidth.

One Honest Caveat:
The designs you get aren’t ā€œdoneā€ out of the box—you’ll still need to review and refine. It’s fast and flexible, but not magic. Think of it as a co-pilot, not a replacement.

If you’re curious about integrating more AI into your UX workflow without giving up quality or control, UX Pilot might be worth a look.

It’s free to try—give it a spin here.

šŸŽØ Animate a Talking Cartoon with ChatGPT & Procreate Dreams

Want to bring a cartoon to life using AI? Here’s a streamlined workflow using ChatGPT, Procreate, and Procreate Dreams—no drawing skills required.

🧠 1. Generate Your Character

Use ChatGPT with DALLĀ·E (or another AI image tool) to create your base cartoon.

šŸ“„ Save the result to your device.

šŸ˜„ 2. Create Expressions & Mouths

Ask ChatGPT:

  • "Generate 6 different facial expressions for this character."

  • "Create PNG cartoon mouth shapes for common sounds (A, E, CH, S, etc.)."

šŸ’” Ask for transparent backgrounds to simplify editing.

āœļø 3. Assemble in Procreate

On your iPad:

  • Open a new Procreate canvas.

  • Import the base character and expression images.

  • Use selection tools to isolate each face and mouth onto its own layer.

  • Erase the original head to create a ā€œheadlessā€ body for swapping faces.

šŸŽÆ Group and label layers for easy animation.

šŸŽ¬ 4. Animate in Procreate Dreams

  • Create a 2K square project in Dreams.

  • Import your Procreate file by dragging it from the gallery.

  • Convert layers to tracks.
