Why this score

AI tools are already generating wireframes, screen layouts, component libraries, and even full interactive prototypes from text prompts, directly replacing tasks that have defined the UX designer's daily work for over a decade. User flow mapping, information architecture drafts, and basic usability heuristic checks are being automated by systems like Galileo AI, Uizard, and built-in generative features in Figma. The economic case for replacing dedicated UX headcount is strong — companies can compress what used to require a specialist into prompts issued by product managers or engineers. If your value proposition is still centered on producing screens and flows, you are competing against software that works in seconds.
