Visily – Turn Ideas into App Designs Without Being a Designer

Hey readers — welcome back to AI Brews! We know you’ve been waiting for your daily dose of AI-powered tools, and we truly appreciate your patience. We faced a small hiccup with our hosting platform this week, which paused our publishing schedule temporarily. But we're back now — stronger, sharper, and ready to brew fresh content for you every day again.

Let’s dive into a powerful yet underrated design assistant: Visily.

If you’ve ever tried designing an app interface and thought, “Why do I need a PhD in Figma to mock up a login screen?” — Visily is for you. It’s a UI/UX tool designed with non-designers in mind, powered by AI to help you go from concept to clickable mockups without any prior design knowledge.

Whether you're a startup founder, solo maker, product manager, or developer, Visily is a game-changer when you want to communicate an idea visually without waiting on a designer.

What Is Visily?

Visily is an intuitive web-based design tool that lets you:

• Generate full app and website mockups using AI
• Start with templates or convert your own text prompts into UI screens
• Collaborate with your team in real time or asynchronously
• Share and export clean design specs for developers

It’s built to shorten the product design loop and make ideation a visual process anyone can participate in — not just design pros.

Real Example: Designing a Finance App Dashboard

Let’s say you're working on a budgeting app and want to create a dashboard interface.

Step 1: Use AI to Start

• Prompt: “Create a personal finance dashboard with graphs for income, expenses, and monthly savings overview.”
• Visily creates a rough layout using smart UI blocks: charts, tabs, balance cards

Step 2: Edit With Drag and Drop

• Swap in charts, text fields, tables
• Choose between dark or light mode with one click
• Add your own icons and custom labels

Step 3: Brand It

• Apply your brand colors and fonts from a saved preset
• Add your app logo and change UI shape to match your style

Step 4: Share & Export

• Use public share link to get feedback from devs or stakeholders
• Export as PNG, PDF, or generate design specs for handoff

In less than 30 minutes, you have a shareable, clear product idea with real UI context.
