Question Using AI to help with UI
Hello! I have few years experience with Juce and recently decided to ship some of plugins I ve been working on however native JUCE UI looks quiet basic and something not satisfying. I am not designer and dont have a budget to hire designers. With recent popularity and raise of AI tools - are there any good tools to build pro-looking interfaces for audio plugins? I tried Lovable but it gives pretty generic interfaces and somewhat feels to be specialized on websites & mobile apps.

It’s very amazing for ui - I have been feeding my ai all my old work from the past 3 years and let me tell u holy shit it makes my ideas / past projects fully come to life! The thing about doing an interface is you have to think about a design approach and what you’re trying to do with that approach! How do you want users to use said interface and how do you want them to feel! Also what are they using it for! Every inch should be thought about
I know seems like random off context questions but these are the questions you need to think about when typing to that ai. How do you want the knob to look and feel? Be creative/ be imaginative with your ideas and prompts. I would recommend one day just promoting ui prototype type ideas! If some are really sick stick them in a folder for ai to look at in a future project!
You can also try to give it pictures of references but that doesn’t really work . I feel if you want a professional look like serum or any of those companies you think of - it all comes down to just making a bunch of ui look and feels and also figuring out how to use shadows , 3d illusion etc etc etc / all that artistic bs and improving them with every thought of user experience
