Kai
Ux-Copilot | Figma Plugin
Personal project
Tools: Gemini 2.5 Flash - Open AI API (Chat GPT-4.0)
Project Description
Kai is an AI-powered Figma plugin designed to act as an intelligent co-pilot within the user experience design workflow.
Core Purpose:
→ An intelligent, AI-powered co-pilot designed for the user experience design workflow within Figma.
→ Acts as a teammate, embedded directly within Figma's canvas to provide timely and constructive critique.
Key Functionality:
→ Reviews selected design elements against established and customizable UX principles (e.g., usability, accessibility, visual hierarchy, consistency, learnability).
→ Enables designers to "Ask Kai anything" for instant, context-aware critique and answers to specific UX questions.
→ Delivers nuanced, human-like feedback and actionable suggestions via an intuitive chat interface.
Technical Implementation:
→ Leverages the OpenAI API to integrate advanced conversational intelligence into the design space.
→ Captures a high-resolution screenshot and includes relevant structured data from selected Figma nodes (type, dimensions, text content, color properties).
→ Dispatches this data to OpenAI's language models, which process it with extensive UX best practices knowledge.
→ Prioritizes user privacy and control by securely storing the API key locally.
Benefits & Impact:
→ Significantly accelerates the design iteration process.
→ Helps catch design inconsistencies and usability issues earlier in the workflow.
→ Ensures a more polished final product.
Augments human creativity by providing an always-on, expert perspective to elevate design decisions.
