welcome back do you think it's possible
to design a product fully with AI well
I'm going to find out today we're going
to look at the concept stage of product
design and see if we can come up with a
lot of product ideas with AI just to
review last time we used AI to come up
with some design research which chat GPT
was nice enough to summarize for us if
you don't want to read that the
highlights are we want to create a
garden speaker it should be user
friendly and we want to use recycled
materials and make it water resistant
moving on from there the next logical
step would be to come up with some ideas
today I'll try to do this completely
using Ai and just a small spoiler this
stuff is crazy it's funny how none of
this stuff was possible like a year or
two ago but here we are so let's jump
into it and continue designing our
garden speaker by actually starting to
design Garden speaker yeah so let's get
started firstly we're going to look at
creating some mood boards how do you
describe mood board mood boards are
basically a collection of images to help
you you kind of describe the vibe or
feeling you're going for in your product
design for this I found a really cool
tool is our old friend mid Journey if
you want to know how to get started mid
Journey for prod design I actually made
a separate video that you can check out
to create mood boards with mid journey
and Discord you just type in/ imagin and
then the words a mood board of product
designs and then a bunch of things
related to Garden speakers I played
around with it for a while and found
it's good to give it some color
Direction like natural colors or just
green also found it help to input some
related products in the space you're
designing for so here I use garden tools
and garden lights
W as you can see you can make some
really cool mood boards related to
garden products I really like these
Arrangements of products that kind of
look like they're in a studio that you
get it's also a nice easy way to see
what ideas fit with your vision what
don't next we're going to look at
creating some concept images of possible
future products what's nice here is we
can say in mid Journey do this step in
this video I'll just play around with
some text prompts so we type in slash
imagine a garden speaker and then we can
play around with some different prompts
with things like color palettes
different materials and try out
different backgrounds
sick I really love playing around with
this and feel like I could spend hours
just screwing it around but for now
we'll just take some highlights what I
also found really cool is you can get
ideas already rendered in a garden which
you usually don't end up doing to later
in the process if you do this the
oldfashioned way this is an incredibly
powerful way to come up with really high
fidelity images of product Concepts and
quickly ideate and evaluate plus it's
really easy to do is not really a good
reason to not use AI in workflow these
days also what I didn't notice till
filming this video is that you can even
mark an area in mid journey to play with
so you can take an image you like and
you just tweak small parts of it look at
that that's a little little speaker with
some different controls clly little nose
and the results are super high quality
really cool so it's not really a garden
speaker but come on it's so funky I had
to put this in there the next technique
we're going to try out is a sketch two
image generator what this is is you can
create a sketch then throw it into an AI
tool and now we'll create a render for
you the first sketched image generator I
tried out was vicom vicom has been
getting a lot of press in my LinkedIn
feed lately for being a sketch two image
generator targeted at industrial
designers like y all you have to do is
create an account then you can create a
new file I'm going to do one that's
square and then we can add an image and
I took one of our AI speaker Concepts
threw it into some random image to
sketch Creator on Google and we just
type in a prompt a 20 green speaker for
the garden and then we generate an easy
peasy we have a speaker concept straight
from our image so you can even play
around with the drawing
influence the results are pretty good
with viscom viscom works extremely well
on products with a ton of geometry
material breaks and a lot of details
like cars and shoes for minimalists like
me I've had issues getting really good
results with simple products hopefully
this gets a little better in the future
the other AI tool for rendering sketches
that I liked is prome AI prome Works
kind of like vizcom where you can input
a sketch and it'll make a rendering in
an image based on that sketch I think
prome also does a lot of other things
but I really only played around with a
sketch to renderer look at
this what's wrong with your web page
that looks better okay maybe my Chrome
just crashed all right so we upload an
image and and then we can render we'll
say a garden speaker again that's pretty
cool what I also really like about prome
is you have these different kind of
styles you can render in for different
product types and they'll give you
slightly different results Innovative
Italian play that's kind of fun bow
house who doesn't like getting bow house
yeah cool anyway overall it's easy to
get a good result and play with some of
the preset Styles you know what's really
funny I was actually contacted by PR a
few months ago and asked promote their
product to which I said no thank you
long story short I could have made some
money promoting this product but now I'm
doing it for free which is why I'm bad
at business the final category of things
you can do to create some product images
is to train an AI model basically what
this means is you get an AI tool a lot
of images that are all kind of similar
and then the AI can spit out images
similar to the input the first way I
tried to doing this is with a web-based
client called Leonardo AI so Leonardo AI
is an AI tool with a lot of generation
capabilities but the one I played around
with is the training in image model and
then generating based on that
unfortunately though I wasn't really
able to get the results I expected the
images all looked pretty much nothing
like the images I inputed which were
this kind of colorpop style to be fair
though I am a total beginner of this
program so if someone knows what I'm
doing wrong feel free to let me know
stable diffusion is also another AI
model you can use to train and create
new images but that's a bit of a complex
topic so I think I'll leave that for a
future video maybe so as you can see we
have a few ways to create garden speaker
designs from creating mood boards to
creating some concept images and then
playing around with the details of each
of those Concepts it's pretty amazing
the stuff you can create these days and
this is definitely stuff that wasn't
possible without being a total expert
even up to a year ago it's pretty amaze
bees so back to our main question can
you automate creating product concepts
with AI out of five with one being no AI
won't seal your job and five being your
fed I'd give it a 3.8 it's so insanely
easy to create professional images now
once you get over the hump of signing up
for some of these AI programs you can
start playing around with images almost
instantly and play around with ideas a
couple magnitudes faster than you could
be however it's still really hard to
control the output there's still a
learning curve in actually creating the
prompts and even if you know know what
you're doing you're not really ever sure
what you're going to get using AI is
kind of like buying gas station Sushi
you're never really sure what's going to
come out the other end for more advanced
stuff like training your own AI model
the technical learning curve is even
higher essentially it's another skill
that you have to learn to get started
although the potential is quite High
also AI doesn't really have a sense of
what makes a good product although you
could say that about a lot of product
designers Concepts like user experience
usability manufacturability viability
Etc are all left out of the concepting
phase I haven't really seen anything
solving his issues in the AI generation
space so for now I think AI Concepts
will continue to be a little shallow but
gray AI will only get better what's your
prediction for the future my prediction
for the future is that AI product
Concepts will go to a four or four out
of five on the AI ceiling or job scale
some of the current issues with AI
product Concepts have to do with the
learning curve which I think will
probably be solved by these programs
moving forward however I think the
issues with AI not really knowing what
makes good product are a bit harder to
solve and since programs like mid joury
are maxing out on image quality and even
get better product Aesthetics I'm not
really sure how much more it will
improve maybe you can train AI model to
be better usability but I don't know if
you know let me know so that's it for
this video I hope you learn a little bit
more on how to generate and play with AI
product Concepts join me in the next
video as I continue to try and fully
design a product with AI and see if the
robot overlords are better than us at
designing until then stay free humans
and I'll see you in the next one see you
later
