I’m a little curious!
Common answers I’ve heard include using it for code, documentation, thinking through problems, or setting up projects.
Anybody using AI in an interesting way? I saw a demo the other day where you can download a git library that allows you to train and show the results of that training directly using JS for example.

Exceptional Frontend

A developer seeks insights from the community about practical AI applications in frontend development. Common uses mentioned include code generation, documentation, problem-solving assistance, and project setup. The discussion highlights interest in more advanced implementations like JavaScript libraries for training and displaying machine learning models directly in web applications.

How are you using AI in Frontend Development?

I primarily use AI to generate mock data, build utility functions, and refactor components for reusability — tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming.

I just started experimenting with generating dot graphs for a project. e.g., a graph containing the project’s components and their relationships.

When it comes to AI in frontend development, I don’t write much code manually. I often use tools like bolt.new or v0.dev, especially when there’s no specific UI design to follow. AI handles most of the initial work, though some manual adjustments are always needed- since AI can’t fully understand your exact needs.
In the end, AI doesn’t replace the work- it just helps speed up the process.

i use AI mostly for bugfixing, css (extremely usefull for customizing external components libs, like calendar where you should’ve search for every class manually), creation of charts (saved a lot of time in this case) or creating the basic layout of the containers in the page with tailwind or bootstrap

I use it as my assistant; I discuss with it and ask what would be the best option (e.g., in the app router, what would be the best option to implement the language switcher), then use Shadcn for building the component in the header and then gradually follow the steps to complete the implementation. Also, to enhance the UI and heavy tailwind, I rely mostly on AI.
