AI for Prototyping

Prototyping is an essential part of the design process. And with AI tools you can now build realistic, dynamic prototypes faster than you can create traditional static mock-ups.

This course teaches you how to design and prototype with AI. You’ll learn to use emerging tools like Figma Make to build functional, data-connected prototypes. And you’ll discover how AI can boost creativity, speed and collaboration in the design process.

What you'll learn

Always up to date

During three live-online masterclasses, you’ll learn:

The future of design and AI

Understand how AI is changing the role of the designer. Learn how prototyping tools are helping to bridge the gap between design and engineering.

Why prototype with AI

See how AI makes prototypes more realistic, responsive and intelligent. Compare traditional workflows with AI-powered ones to see how AI reduces the time from idea to interaction.

The AI prototyping tool landscape

Discover a range of emerging prototyping tools, such as Bolt, Replit, Lovable and Cursor. Learn why Figma Make stands out as a practical, powerful option for designers.

Building with Figma Make

Build a working prototype in Figma Make step-by-step. Learn to set up your file, integrate design systems, manage responsive layouts and publish your prototype.

Connecting prototypes to real data

Bring your prototypes to life with live data using APIs and services like Supabase. Understand the benefits and drawbacks of data-driven prototypes.

What you'll get

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

Explain how AI is changing design and prototyping workflows.

Compare and evaluate different AI prototyping tools.

Build and iterate prototypes using Figma Make.

Connect prototypes to real data sources for more realistic testing.

Balance AI automation with UX best practice and human creativity.

What students are saying

The UX Design Institute is really taking the lead in preparing designers for the next era of our industry. Their certificate in AI for Prototyping gave me hands-on experience with tools and workflows that are already reshaping design. I appreciated how practical and forward-thinking the course felt, not just theory, but real, usable skills. It made me feel confident experimenting with AI while staying rooted in human-centred design. The instructors and community were genuinely inspiring. I’d recommend it to any designer who wants to stay ahead of the curve.

If you're someone who is already in the career of UX Design then this course is great to get your head around the involvement of AI in design. It was helpful to see the many AI softwares available and how easily you could use multiple for a single project.

I was astonished at how quickly I picked up Figma Make. This course was very detailed and easy to follow. It had me coming up with all kinds of prototype ideas I'd like to try. The files provided were of a high quality and worked perfectly. I'm looking forward to amazing my employers with top-quality prototypes.

I really enjoyed learning about the possibilities of prototyping with AI and Figma Make. It was impressive to see how quickly you can create real prototypes in a relatively short amount of time. The course not only helped me identify some gaps in my knowledge, but it gave me confidence and motivation to explore this further, especially applying it to high-fidelity designs. It opened my eyes to how, with more knowledge and experimentation, these tools could play a significant role in the future of product design.
