Bible Strong Avatar Lab
Procedural 2D avatar studio in the browser: build characters with SVG geometry, compose expressions and blink animations, then export snapshots, ZIP packages, or a standalone engine.
Aurorasaur
Aurora borealis generator: design ribbon-path aurora textures on artboards, tune curtain and vortex shapes, then export stills, transparent PNGs, or seamless looping clips.
Liquid Orb Editor
Real-time WebGPU liquid glass orb editor: 11 animated presets, live refraction and glow controls, URL-shareable state, and export to standalone Web pages or SwiftUI/Metal.
IP as Logo
Generate flat-first, subtly neo-skeuomorphic IP mascot logos: extremely simplified cute characters with rounded heavy forms, two purposeful colors, and lower-corner composition—recognizable at 32×32.
Create a CLAUDE.md File
Write Claude Code project instructions: stack, commands, design rules, tools, and what needs approval.
Create a DESIGN.md File
Write a design-system file agents can follow for tokens, components, content, and accessibility.
Create an Agent Skill (SKILL.md)
Turn a job you run often, like a UX audit or PRD critique, into a SKILL.md Cursor or Claude Code can load.
Create an AGENTS.md File
Write repo-root instructions so coding agents know the product, conventions, tools, and what needs approval.
Design an Agent Harness
Map instructions, tools, permissions, review gates, failure recovery, and checks before an agent can act.
Optimize My Prompt
Diagnose a weak prompt and rewrite it with clearer task, context, constraints, and output format.
Unslop
Edit text to remove AI patterns and restore human voice: cut puffery, fix rhythm, and self-audit for tells.
YC Pitch Deck
Build investor pitch decks in YC and Sequoia formats: problem, solution, why now, traction, and ask—for fundraising, Demo Day, and YC apps.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI UX Playground?
AI UX Playground is a free reference for people who design AI products. It catalogs 150+ interface patterns with live demos, 3 versioned UX frameworks, 40 product teardowns with screenshot walkthroughs, 185 copy-paste prompts, 157 agent skills (SKILL.md), 17 multi-step workflows, and a curated Playground of 60 projects. The site is built for product designers, PMs, and engineers shipping chat, agents, and multimodal AI.
How is this different from a general UI pattern library?
General UI libraries cover buttons, forms, and navigation for static apps. AI UX Playground focuses on problems that appear when models stream, act autonomously, need trust signals, handle tools, or work across voice and ambient surfaces. Patterns are tagged by product examples (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others) and grouped for agentic, chat, trust, and commerce workflows, not generic web chrome.
What is the difference between Patterns and Teardowns?
Patterns are documented UX solutions with definitions, when-to-use guidance, anti-patterns, and interactive demos you can study in the browser. Teardowns (40 live guides) are job-first, screenshot-backed walkthroughs of how shipped AI products solve specific design problems in production, useful for benchmarking before you pick a pattern to spec.
What are Frameworks on this site?
Frameworks are deep, versioned references, not just filters on the pattern grid. The live catalog includes 3 frameworks (for example Agentic UX with 36 patterns across seven territories, and Chat UX for composer and turn-taking). Each framework names territories, guiding questions, anti-patterns, and links into related catalog patterns.
How do Prompts, Skills, and Workflows differ?
Prompts (185) are single copy-paste instructions for design tasks. Skills (157) are full SKILL.md files for Cursor, Claude Code, and similar agents, workflow rules teams install in their repo. Workflows (17) chain prompts across a goal (research, design systems, career, and more) with timing and deliverables. Use prompts for one-offs, skills for repeatable agent behavior, workflows for end-to-end process.
Do pattern pages include working demos?
Yes. Most pattern detail pages embed a live UI demo in the same view as the write-up. There is no separate demos section. Open a pattern from the catalog to see the interaction, states, and notes together. Demos are for learning and reference, not production drop-in code.
Who maintains AI UX Playground and is it free to use?
AI UX Playground is an editorial catalog curated for the design community by Bestfolios.com. Browsing patterns, frameworks, teardowns, prompts, and skills is free.
