Apple is studying how AI can help make apps better. This study focuses on a new tool called UICoder.
A team from Apple worked with designers to improve how AI generates app designs. They found that regular methods were not very good. These methods did not match what designers really wanted. Instead, they asked designers to give feedback with sketches and comments. This helped the AI learn better.
Twenty-one designers took part in this study. They had different amounts of experience. The researchers collected many design notes. They changed these notes into examples for training.
The study showed that AI trained with designer feedback made better designs. The best AI model improved even more than larger models. However, the researchers noted that what makes a good design is not always clear. There were disagreements about which designs were better. When designers could show their changes directly, everyone agreed more often.
