Generate User Interface Components with GPT-3

I’m building an experimental tool that can generate a UI component from a high-level text description, i.e. “Design a card for viewing goals in a goal tracking application”. Basically, stable diffusion but for user interface components instead of images. This tool is at best a proof of concept. It currently only generates a single type of component (small cards that have basic info about an object), but the goal is to be able to design entire applications (either in one fell swoop or by piecing together components that the tool generates). The components it generates can be exported as react…

In plain words

This experimental tool generates user interface components from text descriptions using GPT-3, functioning as a generative design system for UI development. Currently a proof of concept, it creates small card components based on plain-language prompts and exports them as React code. Users can also request modifications to existing designs. The tool is aimed at developers and designers interested in exploring AI-assisted component generation, though the maker acknowledges it remains early-stage and of limited practical use at present.

    I made this because building UIs in a lexical medium like code is super annoying. I have to pre-render what I’m making in my head, and then jump between the browser and IDE to test. I was inspired by the developer console in chrome and safari since I end up editing css there because it’s ironically more convenient. Hope it’s useful!
