AI Workbench for Designers: How Designers Should Work With AI

When people talk about AI design tools, the default question is often: can AI draw for me? Can it make renderings? Can it turn one sentence into a model? Those questions matter, but they are not the whole workflow a designer needs over time. Designers do not only need a faster drawing button. They need a workbench that can hold design judgment across a project: where the intent lives, where source material lives, who maintains the rules, how the model state changes, how visual feedback returns to the design, and why each revision happened.
