The role of large language models in UI/UX design: A systematic literature review

This systematic literature review examines the role of large language models (LLMs) in UI/UX design, synthesizing findings from 38 peer-reviewed studies published between 2022 and 2025. We identify key LLMs in use, including GPT-4, Gemini, and PaLM, and map their integration across the design lifecycle, from ideation to evaluation. Common practices include prompt engineering, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal input. While LLMs are reshaping design processes, challenges such as hallucination, prompt instability, and limited explainability persist. Our findings highlight LLMs as emerging collaborators in design, and we propose directions for the ethical, inclusive, and effective integration of these technologies.

Towards a Working Definition of Designing Generative User Interfaces

Generative UI is transforming interface design by facilitating AI-driven collaborative workflows between designers and computational systems. This study establishes a working definition of Generative UI through a multi-method qualitative approach, integrating insights from a systematic literature review of 127 publications, expert interviews with 18 participants, and analyses of 12 case studies. Our findings identify five core themes that position Generative UI as an iterative and co-creative process. We highlight emerging design models, including hybrid creation, curation-based workflows, and AI-assisted refinement strategies. Additionally, we examine ethical challenges, evaluation criteria, and interaction models that shape the field. By proposing a conceptual foundation, this study advances both theoretical discourse and practical implementation, guiding future HCI research toward responsible and effective generative UI design practices.

Human-AI Co-Creation: A Framework for Collaborative Design in Intelligent Systems

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve from a back-end computational tool into an interactive, generative collaborator, its integration into early-stage design processes demands a rethinking of traditional workflows in human-centered design. This paper explores the emergent paradigm of human-AI co-creation, where AI is not merely used for automation or efficiency gains, but actively participates in ideation, visual conceptualization, and decision-making. Specifically, we investigate the use of large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 and multimodal diffusion models such as Stable Diffusion as creative agents that engage designers in iterative cycles of proposal, critique, and revision.

Generative AI for Product Design: Getting the Right Design and the Design Right

Generative AI (GenAI) models excel in their ability to recognize patterns in existing data and generate new and unexpected content. Recent advances have motivated applications of GenAI tools (e.g., Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT) to professional practice across industries, including product design. While these generative capabilities may seem enticing on the surface, certain barriers limit their practical application for real-world use in industry settings. In this position paper, we articulate and situate these barriers within two phases of the product design process, namely "getting the right design" and "getting the design right," and propose a research agenda to stimulate discussions around opportunities for realizing the full potential of GenAI tools in product design.

Figma2Code: Automating Multimodal Design to Code in the Wild

Front-end development constitutes a substantial portion of software engineering, yet converting design mockups into production-ready User Interface (UI) code remains tedious and costly. While recent work has explored automating this process with Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs), existing approaches typically rely solely on design images. As a result, they must infer complex UI details from images alone, often leading to degraded results. In real-world development workflows, however, design mockups are usually delivered as Figma files, a widely used tool for front-end design, that embed rich multimodal information (e.g., metadata and assets) essential for generating high-quality UI. To bridge this gap, we introduce Figma2Code, a new task that advances design-to-code into a multimodal setting and aims to automate design-to-code in the wild. Specifically, we collect paired design images and their corresponding metadata files from the Figma community. We then apply a series of processing operations, including rule-based filtering, human- and MLLM-based annotation and screening, and metadata refinement. This process yields 3,055 samples, from which designers curate a balanced dataset of 213 high-quality cases. Using this dataset, we benchmark ten state-of-the-art open-source and proprietary MLLMs. Our results show that while proprietary models achieve superior visual fidelity, they remain limited in layout responsiveness and code maintainability. Further experiments across modalities and ablation studies corroborate this limitation, partly due to models' tendency to directly map primitive visual attributes from Figma metadata.

SpecifyUI: Supporting Iterative UI Design Intent Expression through Structured Specifications and Generative AI

Large language models (LLMs) promise to accelerate UI design, yet current tools struggle with two fundamentals: externalizing designers' intent and controlling iterative change. We introduce SPEC, a structured, parameterized, hierarchical intermediate representation that exposes UI elements as controllable parameters. Building on SPEC, we present SpecifyUI, an interactive system that extracts SPEC from UI references via region segmentation and vision-language models, composes UIs across multiple sources, and supports targeted edits at global, regional, and component levels. A multi-agent generator renders SPEC into high-fidelity designs, closing the loop between intent expression and controllable generation. Quantitative experiments show SPEC-based generation more faithfully captures reference intent than prompt-based baselines. In a user study with 16 professional designers, SpecifyUI significantly outperformed Stitch on intent alignment, design quality, controllability, and overall experience in human-AI co-creation. Our results position SPEC as a specification-driven paradigm that shifts LLM-assisted design from one-shot prompting to iterative, collaborative workflows.
