Everything on Design Process

Agents lack spatial reasoning and visual context, making them ineffective for initial design ideation. Physical sketching remains superior for exploring layout, composition, and visual hierarchy before coding begins.

Impact: Teams that integrate manual sketching into their AI workflows will produce more coherent and visually accurate prototypes, reducing rework during implementation.
