Telling AI to design is hard

Ben Tossell built Design Words, a tool that translates visual ideas into prompts for AI agents. The core pain point: non-designers struggle to describe styles like rounded corners, shadows, or fonts. Users pick options on the left, see a live preview, and copy the generated prompt. He iterated 11 versions using Pi's Fable 5.1 and Factory's Droid. Still early stage—author says 'lots more work to do.'
