We’re officially entering the era of Automated Design Research

I’m a UX/UI designer with 10 years of experience. After spending the last 2 years helping design teams improve their workflows, I decided to build a solution for one of our biggest pain points,Reference Collection.I’ve lived through the pain of the manual Capture - Paste- Repeat cycle, and I decided to build the tool that ends it.

We’re officially entering the era of Automated Design Research.

The product in the making is a Reference Automation Tool. Unlike curated libraries like Mobbin, this tool covers the live, breathing web. It turns a single link into hundreds of captured screens in under 1 minute. It fills the gaps static libraries can't reach.

Now, I want to share the vision behind the automation

• Phase 1: Link to Figma. One URL, hundreds of screens, instant export.

• Phase 2: Flow-Specific Capture. Type "Service Name + Signup Flow," get the raw HTML & images.

• Phase 3: Archiving & AI. A search engine for your personal references, powered by a data driven AI model.

We launch officially on March 9th. Which part of your research workflow is still a recurring headache? What manual task do you wish you could set up once and never look back?
