I'm curious whether people feel like UX could at all be a differentiator here. like, sure, i can build a very quick crud app with Ai in an hour, but there are lots of UX decisions that, if not prompted in the right direction, AI just handles badly.

i guess the problem is that once a teamp goes through the process of figuring out good UX for a certain flow, which can take time, that UX then becomes trivial to copy.

Every product reveals its design if you know how to interrogate it.

So knowing a software architecture for something you use is the HARDEST part to observe and the UX is the easiest to observe.

provided you can describe what you observe, and your desired workflow that matches your need, then you can replicate it provided you understand how to test and iterate, which again is trivial to learn.

Combine:

Observations of workflows to implement and

Notional data architecture

You can create a slimmed down version of pretty much anything.

I mean this is basically every image editor compared to Photoshop.

A designer that is used to all the features Photoshop has, and then you just use the most common workflows that most people use, to be the feature bootstrap for your Photoshop alternative that’s much lighter weight and cheaper etc.
