The useful question is not “what can it generate?” but “where does it remove friction?”

The Story

Product Hunt’s current AI Designer roundup shows a category moving beyond one-off image generation. Newer products are positioning themselves around UI prototyping, responsive sites, production-ready assets and tighter brand consistency.
