Why is a polished AI image not enough for product development?

Short answer

A polished concept image can communicate a direction, but it is not a reliable product input by itself. It may invent features, obscure connections, or make an unresolved choice look final. Product development needs traceable intent: what the parts are, what they should do, what matters most, and what still needs to be decided. FigDraft is being developed around that reviewable structure.

What to check

  • Treat a concept image as a discussion aid, not a specification.
  • Keep labels and intent linked to the visual.
  • Make unclear areas visible before a partner quotes or starts work.
  • Preserve the original source material for review.

Important limits

  • FigDraft is not finished engineering or CAD.
  • Human judgment is still needed for feasibility, safety, and manufacturing.
  • Use non-confidential examples while private product controls are being built.

Where FigDraft fits

FigDraft is for the moment when a rough product idea needs more structure, but it is too early to begin full CAD or prototype work.
