AI Design Tools
Born in 2021, AI Design Tools was one of the first collection of its kind globally, curating practical tools and ideas at the meeting point of design and artificial intelligence.
What it helps with
In 2021, designers could see that artificial intelligence would affect their work, but the useful tools, examples, and vocabulary were scattered. AI Design Tools gave that early field a browsable shape.
What was built
The archived site is a searchable directory of tools, use cases, and writing across architecture, photography, typography, fashion, interface design, illustration, product design, and other creative disciplines. The collection was born in 2021 and grew through curation rather than generating design work itself.
What made it different
It was one of the first collection of its kind globally. Its value was not a prediction about the future; it was the practical work of finding, organising, and explaining what designers could already try while the field was still unfamiliar.
When a field is new, careful curation can be a product in its own right.
What it demonstrates
- Searchable directory of early design and AI tools
- Use cases organised across design disciplines
- Articles and practical examples from the field’s early years
