What happened
Ben's Bites launched Design Words, a tool where users select styles and components and copy a text prompt for their AI agent. It took 38 sessions, 116 prompts, and 2 days.
Why it matters
Non-designers struggle to describe design in words, so they end up with the default style agents pick. Design Words gives them a visual picker and a prompt instead.
What to watch
The shuffle feature is still 'awful' per the creator and doesn't show genuinely different layouts. The test is whether non-technical users can find a style fast enough to copy the prompt.
WHO IT HITSNon-technical founders, product managers, and anyone using AI agents to build websites will be able to select a visual style and get a prompt to reproduce it, instead of accepting default AI designs.

The creator started with a common frustration: explaining design styles to AI agents is hard because non-designers lack the vocabulary. They prototyped 11 versions, mainly using Fable 5.1 for brainstorming and Factory's Droid for building. A critique from an Opus 5 subagent highlighted a flat feel and insufficient variation, while a '10x' prompt led to a shuffle button that previews styles in place.
As the project progressed, the creator mixed models: GLM 5.3 via Droid Core for quick fixes, Fable for design overhauls, and Luna for testing. A design.md file was created to give agents consistent context without bloated history. The shuffle feature still needs work, but the creator persisted and launched Design Words, hosted on here.now and proxied through Cloudflare. The tool is a work in progress, inviting feedback for further improvements.
