It’s a fact: visuals are the powerhouse of effective communication. And now, with AI, we can generate them in seconds! At Lucid, we are all about helping teams collaborate visually and efficiently, so we know the massive time-saver AI can be for this.

Specifically, with Lucid AI, teams can rapidly create complex visuals, saving countless hours. That speed is incredible for prototyping or transforming a text outline into a diagram. But how do you know if AI is the best route for what you’re trying to create?

I broke this down in a recent blog post

  • Generally, you’d use AI to quickly sketch an idea or get your initial thoughts out. 
  • Lean on a template when you need a standardized, collaborative structure. Our templates strike the perfect balance, providing a proven structure for standard processes and team collaboration.
  • And, honestly, sometimes a project is just too unique and specific, and that’s when you build from scratch on a blank canvas. 

The good news is, you can do all of that in Lucid. Knowing the right approach beforehand will help you work more efficiently and increase productivity.

I’m curious, which approach do you tend to go to first? Share with me below!
