I’s decisions made but not documented, hard-coded values never cleaned up, or relying too much on AI making sense of mock-ups or design flows on its own. Yesterday I stumbled upon a useful practical guide by Hardik Pandya from Atlassian — on how to reduce drifts , minimize mistakes, maintain context, and improve the quality of AI-generated prototypes. Let’s see how it works. To get better results, AI needs better guidance that minimizes assumptions and reduces ambiguity. Guide by Hardik Pandya . ( Large preview ) 1. Design Decisions Are Infrastructure Unsurprisingly, better AI prototypes come from better data — but also from better human guidance. We shouldn’t assume that AI knows how to choose the right component and how to design with accessibility in mind.
