Article syndicated on Yahoo Finance UK examining why Meta and OpenAI are designing personal AI agents to look adorable, and the business motives behind the push.
A data visualization studio that turns data into large-scale art installations, murals, and exhibitions. The site blocked automated reading, so this description comes from the studio's public identity rather than its full page text.
A free job board that aggregates UX, product-design, and research roles daily from Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday, and more than 60 other sources; listed about 3,300 openings when checked.
The Guardian on Meta's new Muse assistant, a cute "little guy" that answers emails, books travel and does your food shop — and why its design leans on cuteness.
Why I recommend it: Free to read. Worth reading alongside the Mouse post on Muse's file access: a friendly face makes it easier to forget how much access an assistant has.
ACM's magazine on human-computer interaction and design, covering how people actually live with technology — accessibility, friction by design, generative AI in scholarly work. The issue contents and the Blog@IX posts are free to read on this site.
Why I recommend it: The site itself is free, but some full features link through to the ACM Digital Library, which can ask for a subscription or membership. Read the blog and the free features first — it is one of the few places writing about design choices as ethical choices.
One of the longest-running remote job boards, with listings grouped by function — programming, design, customer support, devops, sales and marketing, management and finance, product — and each category carrying its own feed. Employers pay to post, so listings tend to be real and recent.
Why I recommend it: Free to browse and apply, no account required. Sort by newest and use the "Past 24 Hours" filter — competition on remote listings is heavy and an old post is usually a closed one. Each category has its own feed link if you want the new listings to come to you instead.
Design and prototyping tool used across the industry, with a free Starter plan that covers design files, FigJam whiteboards and slides. Useful for portfolios, pitch decks, wireframes and simple brand assets.
Why I recommend it: Free Starter plan has limits on the number of files and collaborators, and some features (Dev Mode, advanced Figma Make usage) sit on paid seats. Enough for one person building a portfolio or deck without paying.
Google's image generation and editing model, built into the Gemini app. Free tier has daily usage limits; paid Gemini plans raise them.
From the site: Avec Nano Banana 2, le générateur d
Why I recommend it: Best of the free image tools for editing a picture you already have rather than starting from nothing — useful for slide graphics and profile images.
A design research project questioning the speed and scale assumptions built into AI products.
Why I recommend it: Useful vocabulary if the AI conversation around you is all about going faster.
A free MCP server that gives coding assistants design taste, drawing on thousands of real websites captured with their palettes, fonts and layout structures.
Why I recommend it: Worth adding if your AI-built pages keep looking the same as everyone else's.
An AI design tool for product teams: turn a prompt, product requirement, or screenshot into high-fidelity UI, match existing design tokens, and explore directions before committing engineering time.
Why I recommend it: For founders without a designer: make something visual before you ask anyone to build it. The free tier is enough to test an idea.
A job board focused on UX, product design, and research roles.
Why I recommend it: Niche design board — filter by role, level, and location.
A browsable reference of design vocabulary — layout, type, and interface terms with live examples — useful for describing what you want when you brief a designer or an AI tool.
Why I recommend it: Half of getting good output from an AI design tool is knowing the right word for what is in your head. This is a free vocabulary cheat sheet for exactly that.
Google Workspace tool for generating and editing images with Google's AI models, useful for slides, social posts, and simple brand visuals.
Why I recommend it: Details: good enough for headers, thumbnails, and pitch-deck visuals without hiring a designer. Always disclose AI images when a client asks.
Elite marketplace connecting top software, design, and finance talent with enterprise clients.
Why I recommend it: The screening is tough; treat the application itself as interview practice.
Leading design publication covering UX, product thinking, and design careers in tech.
Why I recommend it: The clearest read on what design and product teams actually value in a portfolio.

In plain terms: This website provides a large collection of free, editable resume templates. You can choose clean single-column layouts for ATS screening or select designs suited for creative roles.
Why I recommend it: Pick a simple single-column template — heavy graphics confuse applicant tracking systems.
