AI in design, is it working for you?

Hello,

I’m really excited about being able to use AI to edit our app screens. It would make important stakeholders able to work by their own.
However, for now, the results I get are far from being usable.
First, despite the announcement, I have no icon related to this… strange.
But it’s accessible through the cmd-k menu → “first draft” or “make a change”
My first “first draft” was a banger. With only a vague prompt, it created a neat design with nice architecture (better than those of most of designers I’ve worked with ;-) )
But as soon as I use the “make a change” menu, which is where the work begins, it’s really bad. 
Most of the time it doesn’t stick to the selection I gave and change something else. It doesn’t understand some basic command (selecting a menu, I just ask to add 2 entries… it renamed the others and change the colors...).
So, am I missing or mis-using something? Do you have similar experiences or much better?

Peace,
Franck

AI in design has been working surprisingly well for me, especially as a creative accelerator. It helps with rapid ideation, mood boards, layout variations, and even refining copy, which saves a lot of time in early stages. That said, it’s not a replacement for human judgment or taste. The best results come when AI is treated as a collaborator rather than a decision-maker. You still need to guide it with clear intent and polish the output yourself. Overall, it’s boosted productivity and experimentation, but the final design quality still depends on the designer’s vision and experience.

I have this quite often too.
Icon looks like an error but the message not so much… 
It proposes to go back but nothing had changed… I’m confused.

I’m happy to read that it can work. I’ll dig further.
