AI Inventory Assistant – SaaS Web Design Challenge

Role: UX/UI Designer Project Type: Design Challenge (SaaS, AI Productivity Tool) Platform: Web (Responsive, Desktop-first) Tools Used: Figma, FigJam

This project is a conceptual UI/UX design for a SaaS AI platform that helps small business owners and e-commerce operators generate accurate, real-time spreadsheets and inventory checklists without needing advanced Excel skills.

The goal was to streamline data organization using AI prompts, allowing users to upload, generate, and manage their stock and supply data with just a few inputs. The platform combines automation, simplicity, and beautiful UI for maximum usability.

Minimize Manual Input: Eliminate the need to manually build complex inventory sheets.

Make AI Feel Human: Give the AI a friendly and professional tone while maintaining trust.

Design for Efficiency: Focus on speed, clarity, and reducing user friction from upload to export.

Accessible, Visual Experience: Ensure the platform is inclusive, modern, and responsive.

This challenge pushed me to think deeply about designing for automation + simplicity, and how AI products should feel intuitive, not intimidating. I focused heavily on layout clarity, hierarchy of actions, and making the experience feel effortless, especially for users without data or spreadsheet expertise.

It’s a project I would love to expand into a full product someday with onboarding flows, real user testing, and adaptive AI response states.
