Like any other powerful AI tool, knowing how to wield it makes all the difference. It is the same for Polymet, though. A well-crafted briefing can be the difference between receiving a generic output and unlocking valuable design.

Mastering the art of Polymet prompts is like mastering product understanding and expressing your ideas well with your designer teammate, as Polymet mimics the communication and medium between you and your product designer. It spends its effort on understanding your needs, structuring your ideas, differentiating what you want or don’t want, and finding the best close interfaces and experiences.

Before we dive in, Polymet is an AI Product Design tool that turns your ideas into prototypes in minutes. It can be described as an AI design generator with images, text, or sketches.

Think of it as your design co-pilot—you just feed it with prompts and watch as it crafts pixel-perfect pages and components matching your vision.

Today, we’re pulling back the curtain and sharing our tips and tricks to help you squeeze every ounce of potential out of Polymet and create well-designed UIs and UXs.

Game-changing tips for better results at Polymet

​

1. Be specific but not restrictive

When working with Polymet, consider yourself an art director at a leading design agency. Your role isn’t to control every pixel but to provide a clear vision while letting the Polymet creativity flourish.

Let’s look at how this works:

Don’t say:

Make me a navigation bar.

Do this:

Design a responsive navigation bar for a local commodity trader, with these specific elements: 
1. Logo placement on the left (support both light/dark variants) 
2. Central navigation items (Home, Products, About, Contact)
3. Right-aligned authentication section with login/signup buttons
4. Search icon that expands into a full-width search bar on click
5. Use navy blue (#1a365d) as primary color
6. Implement subtle hover animations (0.3s ease transition)
7. Collapse into a hamburger menu below 768px

You specify crucial elements like design layout structure, color, interactions, etc. Thus, you provide enough detail to guide Polymet in designing cool stuff while leaving room for its creative magic.

This is just the navbar, with given prompt:

​

2. Add Context

It is easier to understand and build interfaces and experiences if you know what the product is.

A B2B SaaS Growth platform, an account page for a CRM, or a fitness app for people who are seeking gym buddies? Context isn’t just helpful—it’s the secret sauce that transforms good designs into great ones.

Don’t do this:

Create a dashboard with performance charts and metrics.

Do this instead:

Design a dashboard for fitness trainers to track their clients' progress. Users will be Fitness Trainers. 
The dashboard will be used at gym sessions generally. 
Key user need is quick insights between training sessions, so create user information area.
Business needs are emphasizing client alerts and upcoming sessions and support quick note-taking during workouts, create different features with respect to these needs. 
Enable fast client filtering and search via searchbar. 
Visual requirements are large touch targets, client progress chart, and success celebrations for achieved milestones should be include also. 

Remember, the more design briefs you provide, the more intelligent and tailored product design becomes. Think of it as giving Polymet the entire briefing, not just its lines.

The Magic Formula: Context = User Needs + Environment + Business needs + Visuals

The result seems, its okay! But for better design it needs some edit revisions:

​

3. Draw the boundaries to Polymet

I mean, the temporary boundaries for the specific edits and revisions. However, you need to define the scope for each new generation or edit a part of the page.

Limiting the prompt prevents custom, irrelevant designs and encourages a more focused and detailed output.

Don’t do this:

Create an e-commerce product page.

Do this instead:

Design a product page for a high-end furniture e-commerce site:
There should be a product showcase section, product information section, purchase section, and additional information (product description, care instructions, delivery information, returns policy) It should be responsive to all desktops, apps, and tablets.

Here is the result when we do this:

​

4. Break complex pages down into simple components.

It isn’t easy to build all pages and projects in just one prompt, so create them individually. Components are the building blocks of design elements, and you need to take time to generate a complex one. With Polymet, you can easily create and iterate components and position them into pages.

Components are building blocks of your design, so in order to get great solutions you need to calibrate it one by one:

​

5. Iterate with Purpose:

Iteration is not making random changes; it’s about strategic refinement that brings you closer to the perfect solution. 

Don’t do this:

“Make it different,” “Try something else.”

Some iteration examples:

"Iterate this design with the given changes:
- Hierarchical Visual Refinements  
	- Adjust heading contrast( Increase font-weight from 500 to 600, Bump upsize by 10%, Add subtle text-shadow for depth)
	- Enhance CTA prominence(Test gradient vs. solid background, Explore button elevation levels, Try different corner radius values)

- Spacing System Evolution
	- Layout Breathing:
		Implement modular spacing scale(Base unit: 8px, Test different multipliers (1-2-3x))
	- Adjust component padding (Inner padding: try 24px vs 32px, Outer margins: explore asymmetrical spacing)
    - Fine-tune whitespace distribution(Section gaps: increase by 25%, Content grouping: tighten related elements)

- Interaction Pattern Evolution
  - Behavior Refinement:
  		Hover state variations (scale transform, transition timing %40 longer, easing functions comparison)
  - Click/tap feedback:
		Ripple effect vs. simple state change
  		Different animation durations

- Layout Structure Experiments
	- Compositional Tests:
		- Grid system variations (12-column vs. 16-column, Different gutter widths)

Don’t think like you need to use all them all. Because if you do it in one prompt, most probably, you will encounter strange results.

​

6. Use Visual Languages

Think of your prompt as a canvas; your words are the brushstrokes that bring the design to life in minutes. The more vivid and descriptive your language, the more precise and inspired Polymet’s interpretations will be.

Don’t just do this:

"Make a hero section with some images and text."

Do some of them:

"Create a hero section that tells a visual story:
Three-dimensional layered design with elements at different depths 
* Foreground: Floating product cards that cast subtle shadows 
* Midground: Main headline and CTA 
* Background: Abstract geometric shapes 

Visual Effects & Atmosphere. Rich gradient background that flows from:
* Deep indigo (#4B0082) at the top-left corner 
* Transitioning through royal purple (#7B68EE) 
* Finally blooming into vibrant violet (#8A2BE2) at bottom-right 

Soft, diffused lighting effect that creates depth. Delicate particle system floating in the background. Glass-morphic cards with 15% opacity and subtle border glow

Interactive elements like mouse-reactive: 
* Gently tilt toward the cursor position 
* Cast dynamic shadows based on movement 
* Create subtle ripple effects on hover (Smooth transitions between states)

Typography Treatment - the headline appears to float with a subtle shadow 
* Text elements have a slight blur on the scroll 
* Characters can smoothly fade in on load

Animation Choreography: 
* Elements fade and slide in sequentially 
* Background gradient subtly shifts and breathes 
* Floating elements follow organic, wave-like patterns 
* Micro-interactions respond to user scrolling

This also gives UIs for fancy preferences, but we suggest that you use what you need. Don’t forget tip 3 - draw meaningful boundaries!

All in all, great design needs iteration. Don’t be afraid to trial and error, fail fast, and keep refining your prompts. The more you work with Polymet, the better you’ll get at speaking its language.

Happy designing!
