Templates are great when...
- You already know the layout.
- You need consistency (ads, social, brand kits).
- Speed matters more than novelty.
AI agents are great when...
- You need to explore direction.
- You want variations (composition, color, style).
- You’re creating something new (launch page, hero image).
A hybrid workflow
- Start with an AI-generated direction.
- Move to a template for production scale.
FAQ
Q: Will agents replace designers?
A: They replace parts of the workflow (drafting, exploration). Human judgment still matters for taste, brand, and goals.
Q: What’s the biggest agent failure?
A: Overconfidence. Always validate against constraints: audience, accessibility, brand rules.
