Building With a Structured AI Workflow: Notion, Figma, and Blender as One System

Solo developer Gin Ouyang introduces the integrated AI system workflow built around Notion, Figma, and Blender while creating products including the focus app Isleo. The central idea is to move beyond using AI tools as simple assistants and assign each tool a distinct role to create a consistent product.

• ##Notion (Roadmap and Engineering Log)

Notion serves as the central hub for managing the project roadmap and recording decisions.

It acts as a checkpoint for ensuring that AI-assisted design and code work does not drift from the original plan or visual style.

Figma (Style Definition and Design Reference)

Different visual styles are tested with image-generation tools inside a mood board to establish the product’s visual direction.

The main page is designed manually to create a source of truth, and AI is then guided to expand the remaining pages according to that established style.

Blender (Visual Consistency)

Independently generated AI assets often use different lighting, shadows, and textures, preventing them from feeling like parts of one complete world.

Building every asset inside the same Blender scene and applying the same lighting and rendering model creates complete graphic consistency throughout the island world.

Daytime work: Taste-driven and intuitive decisions are handled during the day, when the user can provide rapid feedback.

Nighttime work: Unlike people who need rest, AI agents can continue working. During the night, they can be assigned ambiguous tasks that require hours of structural review and convergence under clear instructions.
