This year, voice detection tools have been a game changer for me.
They’ve completely changed how fast I work with AI.
WisprFlow easily made it into my top 5 AI tools this year.
It’s one of those tools that quietly improves your day without asking for attention.

🎙️ 27/100 AI Design Challenge: pillowtalk / chat by talking

the animations are smooth and beautiful, some of the best I've seen.

pillowtalk’s motion design is exceptional. I couldn't replicate it 100% in figma, but it shows the elegance and depth of top VUI animations.

🎙️ Challenge 19.2/100: HUXE

Reimagined HUXE with AI audio as a conversation, not a song.
Key changes:
🪶 Multi-audio bubbles, not one big player
🎧 No timeline; AI talk isn’t linear
👀 Clear “what’s playing” for multiple clips

Check out the glow-up 👇

Most AI design tools speed up output — not human's thinking.
They help you make screens faster, but they rarely help you reason better.

What did accelerate my thinking was using voice to talk through ideas with AI.
December 4, 2025 at 6:10 AM
The biggest upgrade in my UX workflow this year wasn’t a tool.

It was switching from typing to speaking while working with AI.

AI isn’t faster when it talks.

But when I talk with AI, our debating and iterating speed accelerates fast enough to finally keep up with my new ideas.

I wanted AI to help me brainstorm a better podcast player.

Here's what happened:
✅ @ChatGPTapp felt like a sharp design buddy
❌ @GeminiApp went completely off-style
🤷 @stitchbygoogle had solid logic, but needed lots of cleanup

Who really gets design?
October 28, 2025 at 8:00 PM
If you could ask an AI to think like an UX/UI designer —
who would you trust: @ChatGPTapp, @Geminiapp or @stitchbygoogle?

I tested them on a real design task.
From prompts to wireframes to final UI, the results were… surprising.
