I’ve always been passionate about technology, and when AI became broadly accessible, I challenged myself to build something truly meaningful, beyond simply rewriting emails. In just two weeks, I developed UX Mentor: an AI-powered assistant designed specifically for designers (especially junior ones) to streamline their UX process and boost productivity.
How It Works
UX Mentor lets you define a handful of key parameters, no technical expertise required, and instantly generates clear, actionable guidance grounded in proven UX methodologies, processes, and tools. Here’s what you can customize:
Team Maturity: Tailors recommendations to your team’s experience level and workflow speed.
Product Type: Helps the AI understand your goals and present the most relevant UX strategies.
Project Timeline: By entering your start date, duration, and team allocation, UX Mentor adapts its advice to your schedule and availability(including regional holidays).
Design System: Indicates whether you’re building components from scratch or leveraging an existing library, so you know where to focus your efforts.
Additional Context: Provides any extra details about your product, ensuring recommendations are fully aligned with your vision.
Behind the Scenes
I assembled UX Mentor using four powerful tools across different development stages:
ChatGPT: Drafted the initial concept and content flow.
DeepSeek: Connected parameters to the AI via API for a working prototype.
Google AI Studio (Gemini): Enhanced the model’s performance and flexibility.
Firebase Studio: Hardened the backend for security and scalability.
Although it’s still v1, UX Mentor already delivers actionable insights that can transform how you plan and execute UX projects. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Your feedback will shape the next release!
