In the last 2 months, I have explored 15+ AI tools.
Signed up and gave them my first try. Some AI tool ideas are great, but not built properly.
Some AI tools are built well, but still do not understand what the user wants.
Some AI tools are evolving and, with time, will get better. But my main concern was how to figure out which tool is giving me better results than the other and in what scenario.
For this, I did extensive research and went back and forth with these tools, and it turns out that if you are better than AI in your craft, AI will not help you, butonly as a junior assistant, only if you do good prompting.
But if AI is better than you, ah, that situation is overwhelming. In the AI era, I would suggest going from horizontal to vertical in your skills and using AI only as your assistant to become better, fast.

I was asked to design a web application for college student entering the job market. The primary focus was Eng student who would leverage AI power tools to enhance their resumes, conduct mock interviews, and more. Free and premium users prospectives were designed. A strong focus on conversion and value was strategically placed across all user flows.
Liked the monochromatic UI with retro-like typography, easy on the eyes and a themed design!
Very last minute, i tried, so for this Make-a-thon, I built Mana: a visual productivity tool for creative AI exploration. Instead of rigid external apps, Mana lets you generate custom tools—like timers or task lists—on the fly. As a visual person, I designed it to transform long AI text streams into structured UI components, like grids of cards, on an infinite canvas. To reduce mouse reliance, I integrated a mobile controller: you use your phone in one hand to navigate and move elements, while your other hand stays on the keyboard for input. It’s an ambidextrous, real-time synced workspace that adapts to how you think.
I'll totally make a video, I swear!
1 Interface, the only one.
Every tool we've ever loved knew what we came to do. It shaped itself around the task before we said a word.
AI gave us a box. The same box for everything. We lost the tools that understood us.
OneInterface gives that back, but starts with language. The best of both worlds.
A blank canvas. A blinking cursor. You type what's on your mind, and the right interface forms around you, quietly, as you speak.
Say you need a flight. A writing tool. A plan maker. A code assistant. The controls appear the moment the intent does. You keep talking, or you reach out and touch what's already there.
Nothing to navigate. Nothing to learn. Just you, and a space that listens and takes shape.
Click a pill & hit escape, click again, have fun!
