Figma Make currently generates visually appealing UI but often lacks fundamental UX principles such as clear flow logic, visual hierarchy, and user guidance. The AI should be improved to incorporate these elements, including primary actions, proper empty states, and reduced noise, to create more usable experiences, not just screens.
11 minutes. That's how long Figma Make took to build me a full SaaS dashboard. Cards. Charts. Sidebar. Header. Looked like 4 hours of design work. The founder loved it. Then I put it in front of a real user. She stared at the screen for 5 seconds and said: "Okay… what do I do here?" That one sentence broke the illusion. Figma Make got the UI right. It completely missed the UX. Beautiful layout. Zero flow logic. No hierarchy. No guidance. AI built a screen. Not an experience. So I kept the skeleton and spent 45 minutes doing what AI couldn't: → One clear primary action for new users → Visual hierarchy that guides the eye → Empty states that explain - not just "No data yet" → Removed 4 nav items that were just noise The structure took 11 minutes. The thinking took 45. That 45 minutes is still the designer's job. And always will be. AI is the fastest junior designer you've ever worked with. But it has no idea what your user actually needs. That's on you. Are you using AI in your workflow yet - where is it still falling short? Drop it below
