How Designers Use Krux AI to Elevate Their Work
Every designer knows the challenge: you've poured hours into a design, refined the visual hierarchy, chosen the perfect colors, and crafted what you believe is an intuitive user experience. But before you hand it off to engineering, you need feedback. Traditional critique sessions with your team are valuable for strategic direction and creative exploration, but they often miss the systematic usability issues that trip up real users.
Your 24/7 Design Critic
Krux AI acts as your personal design critic, available 24/7 to provide detailed, actionable feedback on every aspect of your work. The process is simple:
- Record a walkthrough of your design in Figma, Adobe XD, or any prototyping tool
- Narrate the user flow as you click through, explaining what you intended at each step
- Upload the recording to Krux AI
- Receive a comprehensive analysis covering usability, microcopy, visual clarity, missing states, and edge cases
Krux AI gives designers instant, detailed feedback on every aspect of their work—microcopy, states, visual hierarchy, and usability. Upload a prototype walkthrough and receive specific, actionable suggestions in minutes, not days.
Specific, Actionable Feedback
What sets Krux AI apart for designers is the level of detail. You don't just get vague feedback like "this feels confusing". You get specific, actionable suggestions:
- "The button label 'Save Changes' could be more specific—consider 'Save your profile' or 'Update profile' to clarify what is being saved."
- "The error state for this form field is missing—users won't know what went wrong if validation fails."
- "The empty state for this dashboard lacks guidance—consider adding a CTA to help new users get started."
Multiple Workflow Stages
Many designers use Krux AI at multiple stages:
- Early design process - Upload rough prototypes to catch major usability issues before you invest time in visual polish
- Before handoff - Run a final check to ensure you haven't missed any states, validated that your microcopy is clear, and confirmed the flow makes sense
- Portfolio enhancement - Critique portfolio work to generate detailed case studies demonstrating your design thinking and problem-solving process
If you're working on SaaS products, Krux is especially valuable for auditing complex multi-step workflows and settings panels that are prone to usability issues.
The result is higher quality handoffs, fewer design revisions after engineering starts building, and the confidence that your work is not just visually beautiful but genuinely usable.
