Borrowing from Woodworking: Build a 'Jig' When Designing UI with AI
Wattenberger · x · 2026-08-08
In an article for Every, Jack Cheng explores a new concept in AI-assisted interface design, borrowing the idea of a "jig" from woodworking.
In woodworking, a jig constrains a tool's movement to make difficult or repetitive cuts simpler and more accurate. Cheng notes this mindset is entering AI design. Designer Josh Puckett applies this to his interaction tool library, Interface Craft, using custom constraint tools to better harness AI and improve design accuracy and consistency.
