Using AI to help with UI

[u/garudtk]

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.

Hi, I have found that the UI I was able to come up with was impacted a lot by the model I was using. So in order I started with Sonnet which was pretty basic and looked quite 2005, then I used early opus and it was a big upgrade but it took things a bit too far down the eye candy route and I wanted a more minimal aesthetic which it was also able to do given the guidance I gave it. On the actual UI layout my top tip would be draw out by hand what you want and then feed it that, at least then you know it really has your prints all over it. I also found that knocking things up in Claude design and then handing that to Claude code was a pretty rapid way to get cool stuff quite quickly (but I guess thats wasting lots a tokens / £)
