Experimenting a lot with AI, one thing became clear: AI can match your design vision, but only if you are specific. Vague prompts = generic results.

So here is my current process using Figma Make, before I build anything, I ask AI to analyze the design language of a screenshot to build a design system first. Think of it as a style guide where colors, typography, and spacing are all locked in. Once that foundation is there, I use that same design system to build my application, website, whatever the project is.

The result? Way more consistent outputs and a lot less back and forth.

Style first, build later, makes total sense. Feels like treating AI as a junior designer instead of a magic box.

Give Cursor AI a shot too
