Join me as I chat with Meng To, Founder of Aura, to discuss how to elevate AI-generated designs beyond generic templates by using proper prompting techniques. He demonstrates how providing AI with specific context about layouts, typography, colors, and animations results in more professional and unique designs. The conversation highlights how thoughtful design creates user trust and can be a competitive advantage for startups.

Key Points:
• Current AI tools like V0 and Lovable create generic designs that lack uniqueness and taste
• Using prompt builders with specific design vocabulary helps create more professional, unique designs
• Understanding design elements (typography, layout, colors, animations) is crucial for effective AI prompting
• Better design increases user trust and allows creators to charge more for their products
