Exploring Galileo AI and Uizard: : AI-Powered UI Design Tools for UX Designers

As someone who’s always experimenting with new tools to improve my design workflow, I recently took some time to explore two trending AI design tools: Uizard and Galileo AI. Both promise to speed up early-stage design and prototyping through text-based prompts—but how do they actually perform, and can they fit into a real UX designer’s toolkit?
Uizard: Rapid Concept Screens in Seconds
Uizard feels like the Bolt.new of UI design. You type in a prompt—something like “Mobile app for booking local dog walkers”—and within seconds, you get a complete set of design screens. It’s incredibly fast for generating rough UI concepts.
Standout features:
Lightning-quick screen generation from a single prompt
Built-in chatbot to help refine your design direction
Great for ideation or stakeholder show-and-tell
Limitations:
Free plan is quite limited (5 screens total)
Exporting to Figma is clunky and often unreliable
Customization beyond surface-level styling is hard
Bottom line: Uizard is fantastic for visualizing ideas fast, but not ideal if you want full control over layout, hierarchy, or component libraries in Figma.
Galileo AI: Figma-Ready and Developer-Friendly
Galileo AI takes things a step further by offering direct access to Figma files and HTML + Tailwind code. You can also browse a growing public prompt gallery, which is a great way to learn from how others are using the tool.
What I liked:
Designs are polished and Figma-ready (no weird layers!)
Easy to copy-paste code or import designs into Figma
Public templates make prompt crafting easier
Exports are formatted using standard HTML and Tailwind CSS—developer friendly!
Credit model:
Free tier gives you 150 credits
Each export (Figma or code) costs 10 credits
You can export up to 3 designs per format on the free plan
Bottom line: Galileo feels like a much more viable option for actual design production. It still has a ways to go in terms of flexibility, but the ability to move between AI-generated designs, Figma, and code makes it far more usable for product designers and teams.
My Takeaway
Both tools are worth exploring, especially if you're trying to speed up ideation or get past a creative block. Uizard is great for visual brainstorming and client workshops, while Galileo AI is more production-friendly with Figma and developer handoff in mind.
If you’re a designer like me who wants to explore how AI can augment your workflow—not replace it—these tools are great stepping stones. Just don’t expect them to fully replace your creative judgment or design system expertise... at least not yet.
