Hey Design AI
Hey Design AI solves a problem every builder using AI coding tools runs into: the model can write the code, but it cannot read your taste. Ask Cursor or Claude for a landing page and you get the same rounded-card, indigo-gradient layout everyone else gets, because a vague prompt gives the model nothing to anchor on. Hey Design AI is a library of more than 350 design prompts written specifically to fix that — each one describing a concrete visual direction in enough detail that the model produces something deliberate rather than default. What separates it from a generic prompt pack is verification. Every prompt ships with a visual preview of what it actually produces, so you are picking a look you can see rather than gambling on a paragraph of text. The prompts also carry negative constraints — explicit instructions telling the model what to avoid, which is the single most effective way to steer generated UI away from the recognisable AI aesthetic. Coverage spans the styles people actually ship: 3D and depth-heavy hero sections, clean SaaS dashboards, bento grids, editorial layouts and interactive, motion-led pages. The library is updated weekly as new patterns emerge. In practice it works best as a starting brief rather than a finished design. You pick a direction, paste the prompt, and get a professionally structured first pass you then tighten by hand — which is a far better position than iterating blindly through five generic attempts. It is most useful to indie hackers, solo founders and small teams who can build the product but do not have a designer, and less useful if you already work from a mature design system with its own conventions.
