AI Changed UX for me and here is how
We no sketch on and kill ideas early. We still think from a stakeholder needs and a USERS position but now we can design finalized images and test every solution in parallel. We don't have to polish just the best. We can polish all of them

Wonder is not without its shortcomings but what it does well it makes up for in spades. I still prefer Figma to have that artists control of the work flow but I am

Rise of the Solo
Solo, short for solopeneur (solo entrepreneur) is an individual who independently builds, manages, and operates a business on their own. Unlike traditional entrepreneurs or founders who aim to hire staff and build large corporations, solopreneurs handle all aspects of the enterprise themselves and often operate without employees.
Start with an Idea
I wanted make an AI mechanic. I want to talk to my computer. I envisioned using the OBDII scanner adpaters as a way for an LLM to communicate with the ECU. To make the initial pitch I am using Gemini for its access to Nano Banana. Don't make it look cheesy. Refine it until its good.

Designing the App toMaking the App: Figma to Claude
You still have to be a designer first. Think of the painpoints. what problem you are solving? Who are your stakeholders? While I was having fun designing what i wanted to make. I didn't consider the USER. Being unemployed doesn't mean you are free to do whatever you want. You just have be the boss that kills your fun. This is NOT an ART PROJECT. We nee pass appeal. Don't be too bold until the market drives the brand that way.
Why did I have a typical navigation. Why was I trying make something graphically post modern and almost punk. I can see this if I was going to make a scifi AI Tuner for the Hoonigans however anatomically I needed the flow it was really an AI app. I should leverage AI patterns.

Lessons Learned:
In the future i would go from Claude Design to Claude Code or Wonder.Design to Claude Code.
Plan your build save your money. I almost build it all in a the $20 per month plan in Claude. I ended switching to Codex because it had a free trial month and $40 was better than the next tier up at $100.
