Your New AI Interns for Design, Ads, and Data Entry Just Arrived
From designing UIs with words to automating your ad spend, yesterday's tools are all about taking over the tedious stuff.
So yesterday we talked about the split between giant 'do-everything' AI agents and hyper-focused creative tools. Well, today's finds confirm that the specialist tools are multiplying, and they're coming for the boring parts of your job. The stuff you procrastinate on? Yeah, there's an AI for that now.
🎯 DAssigner AI
An AI tool that lets you describe a user interface in plain English, and it generates the visual UI design along with the corresponding HTML code. It aims to turn ideas into coded prototypes in minutes.
Why I'm excited: I'm excited because this collapses the design-to-development process into seconds. The ability to just describe an interface in plain English and get back a visual design *and* the code for it is a massive workflow accelerator. It's a huge leap for rapid prototyping.
Who should care: Product managers, founders, and front-end developers. Basically, anyone who needs to mock up an idea and see it as a real thing *fast*, without getting bogged down in Figma or boilerplate code.
Reality check: This isn't going to replace a senior UI/UX designer. The output will likely be a bit generic and need a human touch to get it production-ready. Think of it as a super-powered starting point, not a finished product.
Other finds worth mentioning
Lexi AI
Promises to run your Meta ads without you needing a PhD in their god-awful ads manager. Seems genuinely useful for small businesses who just want to set a goal and get results.
Scrapeless – Make.com Integration
A no-code tool for pulling data from websites, and it plugs right into Make.com. If you live in spreadsheets and do any kind of market research, this looks like a huge time-saver.
Smart Albums AI by Waldo Photos
This actually solves a problem I have. It uses facial recognition to find all the photos of you from an event and sends them to your phone. Super practical for big family things or your kid's soccer league.
ATSResumeGenerator
Your resume is probably getting rejected by a robot. This tool creates super basic, no-fluff resumes designed specifically to get past those automated filters. If you're job hunting, you should probably check this out.
Quick hits
Blogi AI: Promises to write, optimize, and publish blog posts on autopilot. I'm always skeptical of AI writers, but if you're in a content crunch, it might be worth a look. Just watch the quality.
Barrier: An app that locks you out of Instagram after 10 minutes and makes you wait 30 seconds to get back in. A simple but clever way to break the doomscrolling habit.
SaaS Pricing Pages Designs: Not a tool, but a curated library of 340+ real-world pricing pages. Incredibly useful if you're a founder or PM. Bookmark it.
The HTML Maze: A weirdly cool experiment where you navigate a maze made of pure HTML links. A fun distraction for web dev nerds, but a skip for everyone else.
My takeaway
Writing is on the wall, AI is getting tightly integrated into workflows of specific, unglamorous jobs. It's less about replacing a designer and more about giving them a tool that handles the first, most boring 80% of the work. The future isn't one big AI, it's a dozen little ones that handle the tasks we all hate.
