Hey everyone! I just stumbled uponย Googleโ€™s latest AI experiment: Pomelli. Itโ€™s a smart, AI-driven tool that reviews your UI/UX designs and delivers actionable feedback to make them more intuitive, accessible, and user-friendly.ย 


Think of it as a virtual design critic, upload your mockup, and it spots issues like confusing layouts, colour contrast problems, or navigation hiccups, all powered by Googleโ€™s design expertise. Perfect for designers, devs, or anyone iterating on digital products. (Note: Itโ€™s currently in early access and US-only)

Head to the link and use your Google Account to log in. (Pro tip: If youโ€™re on a shared device, switch to Guest mode for privacy.)

Drag and drop an image of your UI mockup (e.g., from Figma, Sketch, or a screenshot). Supports common formats like PNG/JPG.

Hit submitโ€”Pomelli analyses it in seconds, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and suggestions based on Googleโ€™s Material Design principles.

Review the report, tweak your design, and export notes for your team. Rinse and repeat!



EU users: Since access is geo-restricted right now, fire up a VPN (like ExpressVPN, Surfshark, or Nord) set to a US server to bypass itโ€”quick and painless for ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด.




While Pomelli shines for core UI critiques, itโ€™s versatile for creative hacks too. Here are a few beyond the basics:

Upload a screenshot of a rivalโ€™s app or site. Pomelli breaks down their layout, accessibility, and flowโ€”reverse-engineer what works (or doesnโ€™t) to inspire your own edge without the guesswork.

When clients ghost you on guidelines (or straight-up donโ€™t have โ€™em), upload their existing assets. It extracts key elements like dominant colours, fonts, tone vibes (e.g., playful vs. professional), and even implied hierarchyโ€”boom, instant mood board to build from.

Job seekers or freelancers without a dedicated site? Upload personal project screenshots or a basic LinkedIn profile image. Pomelli pulls a pseudo-brand (your professional style, key phrases), then generates tailored โ€œcampaignโ€ assets like polished headshots with overlays, networking event invites, or even mock client pitch decks. Itโ€™s a sneaky shortcut to making your personal brand pop for interviews or gigs.
