If you’ve been vibing with AI coding tools like bolt.new, altan.ai, or Lovable, this article is for you. It’s about taking your AI-generated UI from decent to damn, that looks good.
I’ve been experimenting with these AI tools for a while now, and honestly the UIs they generate are honestly pretty decent! You get working interactions, clean layouts, and some visual polish. But let’s be real: what AI gives you out of the box still needs a little love. Most of them lean heavily on shadcn/ui as the foundation — which is fine, but kind of obvious.
You don’t have to settle for that “AI starter pack” look, there are plenty of libraries you can use, and I’ll show you some of my favourites below. Just copy-paste a component into your project, tweak the colours to match your brand, and you’ll save hours while making your UI actually stand out!
1.Origin UI
2.skiper/ui
3.Kibo UI
4.SHSF UI
5.Mvpblocks
6. tweakcn
💡 Pro tip for adding some personality:
- Motion (prev Framer Motion) - Smooth animations and micro-interactions
- React Spring - Physics-based animations that feel natural
- Lottie React - Beautiful animated illustrations and icons
You can also mix and match these libraries! Use shadcn/ui as your foundation, then layer on the missing pieces. At the end of the day, AI can give you a solid foundation. But the magic happens when you add your own creative touch 😉
