AI Placeholder Text

AI-Generated Lorem Ipsum for Modern Design

Traditional lorem ipsum is a 2,000-year-old workaround. AI-generated lorem ipsum is the modern replacement — placeholder text that's contextually relevant, industry-specific, and actually useful for evaluating your designs. Claude Ipsum uses AI to generate copy that fits your design context.

The Problem With Traditional Lorem Ipsum

Lorem ipsum has been the default placeholder text since the 1960s. It was never designed to be useful — it was designed to be invisible. A block of Latin that fills space so you can focus on layout without being distracted by readable content.

But here's the problem: you need to be distracted by content. Real content has variable lengths, specific vocabulary, and formatting requirements that lorem ipsum can't simulate.

How AI Changes Placeholder Text

AI-generated lorem ipsum is a fundamentally different approach. Instead of filling space with meaningless Latin, it fills space with contextually appropriate content that behaves like the real thing.

Before: Traditional Lorem Ipsum

  • Same Latin text regardless of context
  • No relationship to actual content patterns
  • Doesn't test real-world edge cases
  • Meaningless to clients and stakeholders

After: AI-Generated Placeholder Text

  • Industry-specific vocabulary that matches your project
  • Realistic content lengths that test your layout properly
  • Contextual tone — formal for finance, casual for social apps
  • Readable mockups that clients can actually evaluate

What AI-Generated Lorem Ipsum Looks Like

Instead of "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit," Claude Ipsum generates text like:

For a healthcare app: "Schedule your next appointment with Dr. Chen. Virtual visits available Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm." For an e-commerce product card: "Handcrafted ceramic mug. Double-walled porcelain keeps your coffee warm for hours. Dishwasher safe." For a SaaS dashboard: "Your team completed 147 tasks this sprint. Velocity is up 12% compared to last month."

Each example is contextually appropriate, realistic in length, and useful for evaluating your design.

Why Designers Are Switching to AI Placeholder Text

1. Better Design Decisions

When your mockup contains realistic content, you can see how your layout handles real-world scenarios — long product names, short descriptions, multi-line addresses.

2. Faster Client Approval

Clients understand mockups with real-sounding content. No more explaining that "lorem ipsum is just placeholder text" in every presentation.

3. Fewer Development Surprises

Layouts designed with realistic content are less likely to break when actual content is added during development.

4. Content-First Design

AI-generated placeholder text lets you practice content-first design without waiting for final copy from your content team.

No more Latin. No more broken layouts. Just placeholder text that actually works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI-generated lorem ipsum?
AI-generated lorem ipsum is placeholder text created by artificial intelligence instead of copied from a centuries-old Latin passage. It produces contextually relevant, readable copy that matches your design's industry, tone, and content type.
Is AI-generated placeholder text better than lorem ipsum?
Yes. AI-generated text lets you test layouts with realistic content, catch design issues early, present more believable mockups to clients, and design for real content patterns instead of arbitrary Latin filler.
How does Claude Ipsum generate AI placeholder text?
Claude Ipsum uses Claude AI to analyze your design context — industry, element type, and tone — then generates copy that matches real-world content patterns. It works directly inside Figma as a plugin.
Can AI-generated lorem ipsum replace real copywriting?
AI-generated placeholder text is designed for the design phase, not final production. It gives you realistic content to design around, but final copy should be written or reviewed by your content team.
