Ever tried describing a complex UI layout to an AI? You know the struggle:
„Create a UI component with an AppBar containing a Toolbar, which has a Typography component with variant h6 and some text, plus a Button with variant contained and primary color, and below that a Container with maxWidth md containing a Card with CardContent…“
By the time you finish typing, you’ve forgotten half the details, and the AI misunderstands the hierarchy. There’s a better way.

🎯 The Problem Every Developer Faces
When working with AI assistants to generate UI components, we constantly run into the same issues:
- Complex hierarchies are impossible to describe clearly in natural language
- Prop configurations get lost in translation
- Nested relationships become confusing for both you and the AI
- Maintaining consistency across similar components is a nightmare
What if you could visually build your component tree and automatically generate the perfect prompt for any AI?
🚀 A Better Approach
This new tool transforms how you work with AI for UI development. Instead of wrestling with text descriptions, you get:
🎨 A Complete Component Library at Your Fingertips
- 100+ Material-UI components organized across 8 categories
- Smart search and filtering to find exactly what you need
- Component details showing props, descriptions, and compatibility
🛠️ Visual Tree Builder That Actually Makes Sense
- Click-to-add simplicity for building component hierarchies
- Real-time preview of your component structure
- Automatic validation to prevent incompatible parent-child relationships
- Undo/redo support because everyone makes mistakes
⚡ Intelligent Property Management
- Type-safe form inputs tailored to each prop type
- Required field validation with visual indicators
- Enum value dropdowns for predefined options
- Direct text editing for component content
🚀 Perfect Prompt Generation Every Time
- Structured output with clean, indented syntax
- AI-optimized format designed for maximum comprehension
- One-click copying and file export
- Instant prompt preview as you build
💡 How It Works (It’s Ridiculously Simple)
- Select components from the comprehensive library
- Build your hierarchy with the visual tree interface
- Configure properties using intelligent forms
- Generate the perfect prompt automatically
- Copy and paste to your favorite AI assistant
What You Get: Clean, Structured Prompts
Instead of messy natural language, you get perfectly formatted prompts like this:
Convert the following structure into a component:
Container maxWidth="md"
AppBar position="static"
Toolbar
Typography variant="h6" "My App"
Button variant="contained" color="primary" "Login"
Box sx={{padding: 2}}
Card
CardContent
Typography variant="h5" "Welcome"
Typography variant="body1" "This is a sample layout"
Button variant="outlined" "Learn More"
Clear hierarchy. Precise props. Zero ambiguity.
🛠️ Built for Real Developers
This isn’t just another toy tool. It’s built with production-grade technologies:
- React 19 with TypeScript for reliability
- Material-UI v7 for comprehensive component support
- Vite for lightning-fast development
- Immutable state management for predictable updates
🚀 Ready to Transform Your AI Workflow?
The tool is open source and ready to use. Here’s how to get started:
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/alonsarias/structured-prompts-ui.git
cd structured-prompts-ui
npm install
npm run dev
🎉 The Future of AI-Assisted Development
This tool represents a fundamental shift in how we communicate with AI for UI development. Instead of fighting with language barriers, we’re building a visual bridge that speaks fluent „component.“
Whether you’re prototyping quick layouts, building complex applications, or just tired of explaining component hierarchies in text, this tool will transform your workflow.
